JetBlue’s Cancellation Policy
All reservations that are made with JetBlue one week or more prior to your flight’s departure can be canceled without penalty up to 24 hours after the reservation was made.
Fare Options with JetBlue
Remember that when you book with JetBlue, you will choose from several fare options such as Blue Basic, Blue, Blue Plus Fares/Blue Extra, and Mint. Your fare will give you the entitlement for changes or cancellation policy that applies to you.
The most unique between the 4 is Mint. Mint offers premium cabin experience and it only flies on selected routes. The“Blue fares”, however, differ mostly in point-earning, baggage allowance, and related fees.
Fare Price and Cancellation Fee on JetBlue
To have an idea of how much you will need to pay for a cancellation fee, JetBlue categorizes them based on the original price of the base fare you chose.
Note: According to JetBlue, there is a $25 non-refundable fee per person for changing or canceling a reservation over the phone (in addition to the fees applicable to the fare). You can save this $25 per person fee by self-serving online at jetblue.com.

Booking a Refundable Ticket with JetBlue
If you want to skip the hassle, booking a refundable ticket with JetBlue is highly recommended. Again, you can choose from any of the fare options above (Blue Basic, Blue, Blue Plus Fares/Blue Extra, and Mint) and select the ‘refundable’ ticket in any of those options. All of them offer refundable tickets. Although it is slightly expensive compared to the non-refundable, it offers flexibility that if you really need to cancel your flight, your refund will be processed in full to the original mode of payment.
JetBlue Travel Bank Credit
Please remember that when you directly book at the JetBlue website, you will have the option to use your JetBlue travel credit on your payment. You can see the balance of your account and from there, it indicates the number of funds you wish to add to your current booking. It’s not necessary to use your entire balance, but you have to use your TrueBlue or Travel Bank login details to access the funds.
For you to use both your travel credit and credit card, select Travel Bank as your first mode of payment. Once you applied those funds, enter your credit card information to cover any remaining balance.

About the Writer
Hi there! I’m Fatima. My first major travel was in 2016 in the beautiful city of Cebu. After that, I got interested in traveling. Now I enjoy learning languages and other country’s cultures. My goal is to visit at least one country each year and to share my experiences with other people through writing or blogging. Witness my journey by following me on Instagram.
I am trying to cancel a RT flight reservation made on the JetBlue site from Fort Lauderdale to Provincetown. The site will not allow me to use the cancellation feature online because it is a code share flight with Cape Air and referred me to an (800) number. The first time I got through the prompts, a message came on saying there is a 182 minute (!) wait period. I held for about forty minutes expecting a customer service rep or an option to leave my number for a call back. It never happened. Finally I had to hang up to take care of some work related items. When I called about ninety minutes later, I was offered the option to speak with a representative by text. The wait time was about thirty minutes. When I was able to explain the issue to “Rory” through the text platform, I was told that because this is a code share reservation, it may only be cancelled through the (800) numbered. I called again to the (800) number and was given an option to leave my number for a call back. I cancelled my afternoon appointments and kept my phone with me. About two hours later, I received a call from a customer service representative. She said that because my reservation was in a code share, her department could not cancel the Reser ration and she was transferring my call to another department. That was about forty five minutes ago. I am sitting with my phone on speaker listening to scratchy between station music waiting to speak with a live person. Ideas???
