Cancellation policies are parted into the following ways:

Cancellations within 24 Hours

Just like any other airline, JetBlue’s passengers are permitted to cancel their reservation within 24 hours from booking timings in order to request a full refund. No JetBlue Flight Cancellation charges will occur.

JetBlue’s Other Booking Terms & Conditions:

• Passengers are requested to make their bookings within one week or more, before the flight departure. A passenger who booked earlier or within one week is eligible for their cancellation within 24 hours without being charged.
• The cancellation fee is credited to JetBlue Flight Credit, valid for one year.
• There is also a ‘no show’ clause that says that if you do not show at the airport and don’t even cancel the flight, then all your money get seized
• JetBlue offers the following facilities to its customers for the canceled flight by the airlines:

JetBlue Full refund

• Re-accommodation on the succeeding available flight, without any extra fee.
• In case, the airline cancels any flight and is unable to avail customers of any alternate transportation within one hour then passengers are entitled to the compensation.
• JetBlue rejects fee-refunding for the delay, diversions, or changes due to any changes that are beyond airline control i.e. Any natural calamity say storm.
• Also, the passengers who meet any onboard delays are permitted to claim compensations.
• Refund Policies of JetBlue:
• There are two types of fares offered by JetBlue:

Non-refundable Tickets: The passengers can cancel their reservation before the departure time of the flight via the website or by contacting the airline, the concerned balance will be credited to your Jetcredit which can be used in the future I.e within a year of the booking date, else you will get your money seized.

Refundable Tickets: if the flight gets canceled from the PNR before the departure time, only then a full refund is permitted via JetBlue. Flights that are not canceled before schedule departure are not eligible for a refund, where instead the ticket remains in open status for future use.

JetBlue Cancellation Policy: Type of tickets

JetBlue Standard Tickets

All customers will have 24 hours from the time of their original booking to cancel their reservation without being charged a cancellation fee, regardless of the fare selected. This is applicable if your booking is made 7 or more days prior to your departure.

If you no-show for your flight and do not change or cancel prior to the scheduled departure, all money associated with the segment is forfeited.

If you purchased your flight with TrueBlue points, the points that you used to purchase the fare will be deposited back into your TrueBlue account.

JetBlue Refundable Tickets

Another option is to purchase a refundable ticket. While this option can be significantly more expensive, it comes with the added flexibility that if you do need to cancel your flight, your refund will be processed in full to the original form of payment, as opposed to receiving future flight credit.

JetBlue Mosaic Members

JetBlue has just 1 tier of elite status — Mosaic. You can qualify for Mosaic status by earning 15,000 base flight points within a calendar year or by flying 30 segments plus 12,000 base flight points within a calendar year. Base flight points are the 3x points per dollar spent that you earn on JetBlue flights. In addition to a handful of other benefits, fees for same-day switches are waived for Mosaic members and all others on their itinerary.

Award tickets change or cancelation

Unfortunately, when you want to change or cancel an award ticket booked with TruBlue points the cancellation fee will be determined by the cash value of your ticket.

For example, if you spotted a deal and used let’s say 11,000 TrueBlue points for a $158 worth flight you will need to pay a $150 cash fee to cancel or change that flight.

JetBlue award tickets change or cancelation

Unfortunately, when you want to change or cancel an award ticket booked with TruBlue points the cancellation fee will be determined by the cash value of your ticket.

For example, if you spotted a deal and used let’s say 11,000 TrueBlue points for a $158 worth flight you will need to pay a $150 cash fee to cancel or change that flight.

If you booked your flight through a third-party travel agency like Kayak or Expedia, the same applies. Most online travel agents have adjusted their policies to match the airlines’. However, you should contact the travel agency first to request your refund.

If you used credit card points and portals like Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel Portal or Amex Travel you there are some flights that you may be able to cancel online.

Despite that, you still may have to contact your bank provider directly to request a refund.
