If you cancel a JetBlue flight, whether you get a refund depends on the ticket type and timing. Refundable tickets allow a full refund to the original payment method if canceled before departure. After departure, these convert to travel credits. Non-refundable tickets such as Blue Basic, Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, and Mint require cancellation fees: $100 for flights within the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean, and Central America, and $200 for other routes. After fees, remaining value is issued as travel credit valid for 12 months. Missing the flight without canceling forfeits the ticket value. JetBlue offers a 24-hour risk-free cancellation policy allowing full refunds if canceled within 24 hours of booking and at least seven days before departure. Special cases like illness, family death, or military orders may waive fees with documentation. Cancellations can be done online or by phone, with a $25 fee for phone cancellations. Refunds to original payment usually take 7 to 10 business days. Travel insurance may cover non-refundable expenses under certain conditions. In summary, refundable tickets get cash refunds, non-refundable tickets usually get credits after fees, and timing and circumstances affect refund eligibility.
