With the exception of Blue Basic, all JetBlue fare classes make it quite easy to cancel a flight.
You may usually reschedule or cancel most JetBlue flights without incurring a cancellation fee if you bought non-refundable fares with other JetBlue fare classes. Instead of receiving cash back, you will receive a JetBlue flight credit.
Additionally, JetBlue offers refundable fares, which are usually more costly but, if you cancel prior to departure, will return your whole purchase price.
What is the cancellation policy of JetBlue?
You can cancel any flight and get a full refund within 24 hours of booking them, if you bought your ticket at least 7 days in advance to depart. Depending on the fare class with which you bought your JetBlue Airways ticket, you may or may not cancel your flight and be refunded after 24 hours.
Blue Basic has a restricted selection and usually charges a cancellation fee. The other JetBlue prices don't have any modification or JetBlue cancellation fees.
Cancelling a flight on Blue Basic:
Only the first 24 hours after booking (if purchased at least seven days prior to the planned departure date) can Blue Basic fares be canceled for a refund? You can receive a flight credit for cancellations made after that, but you will still be responsible for paying JetBlue's high change and cancellation fees.
- $100 per person for flights inside the Caribbean, Central America, or North America.
- $200 per person for all other routes.
Besides, an extra 25 dollars will be added to your charge in case you change or cancel a reservation by phone or chat. With the help of JetBlue website, you can adjust your schedule so that you do not have to pay this $25 per person charge.
Cancelling additional flights
There are no modification or cancellation costs for Blue, Blue Extra, Blue Plus, and Mint flights, but you won't receive your money back in the original payment method. Rather, you will be given a JetBlue flight travel credit that can be used for any future JetBlue travel. To avoid the $25 phone fee, make those changes online once again. Flight credits are valid for a full year after they are awarded.
Additionally, you have to notify JetBlue of your cancellation prior to the scheduled departure. Your reservation's associated funds are lost if you attempt to cancel after that point.
What would happen if you bought refundable tickets?
JetBlue offers a completely refundable ticket as an add-on at the point of sale. Although flight prices vary, they frequently represent a significant portion of your vacation expenses, so if you're reasonably certain you won't have to cancel, this might not be worth it.
The refundable add-on has the advantage of giving you more time to start the refund process. If you do not arrive on a refundable airfare before the departure time, you will not be eligible for cash back, but you will get the segment's money as a JetBlue travel credit.
How to modify or cancel your flight on JetBlue?
Cancelling a JetBlue flight online is the simplest and least expensive option. Go to Manage Trips on on the JetBlue web site header.
Subsequently, make yourself available to provide your flight number, flight confirmation number, travel dates, and in person information such as name and date of birth.
When it is time to make a new booking, use your JetBlue True-blue account and access the JetBlue Travel Bank.
The air element of a JetBlue Vacations package, change fees for Blue Basic prices, airfare and taxes on JetBlue-operated flights booked through JetBlue's website and any applicable airfare rise when making a JetBlue change booking can all be covered by travel credits.
How about a same-day switches on JetBlue?
There is a $75 flat price for same-day swaps if you wish to modify your JetBlue flight on the day of the flight (assuming availability). Same-day switches are free if you are a Mosaic Elite member.
Beyond that $75 fee, you won't be responsible for any further fare difference, even if the new, same-day flight is significantly more expensive. Please be aware that same-day swaps are only possible on the day of your trip, beginning at midnight in the time zone of your flight.
Among the restrictions is the requirement that flights be between the same airport or what JetBlue refers to as "nearby" airports. Consequently, this cannot be adopted as a loophole to bend the rules and modify a trip, say San Francisco International to Los Angeles International to a cross country flight to New York John F. Kennedy International that is long (and likely more expensive). Nevertheless, you can switch a flight, originally departing to LAX, to another one, closer, e.g. Ontario International or Burbank Hollywood.
What will JetBlue do in the event a flight is canceled?
You have greater authority if JetBlue is the one who cancels your flight.
According to the U.S Department of Transportation, in case the airline cancels a trip (due to any reason) and the passengers do not choose to ride a flight again paid by JetBlue, it must refund the person fully. Airlines would have to refund a passenger who paid using a credit card within seven business days and where the passenger paid using cash or check then it has to honour it within twenty days.
In case you still want to continue with your vacation, JetBlue will put you on the next plane at no additional charges, even in case of delay.
Moreover, JetBlue can also provide you with some extra funds in case the flight that you used to take was cancelled due to the so-called Controllable Irregularity, or the cancellation, which Jet Blue could do something about. JetBlue might also offer you some ground transportation, meal vouchers, an overnight stay in a hotel as well as up to one hundred dollars of credit as it depends on the circumstances involved.
