If you cancel a JetBlue flight, whether you get a refund depends on your ticket type and when you cancel. For refundable tickets, you can cancel at any time before your flight and receive a full refund to your original payment method. These refundable fares include Blue, Blue Extra, Blue Plus, and Mint classes, offering the most flexibility. For non-refundable tickets like Blue Basic, you won’t get a cash refund, but if you cancel before departure, the ticket value will be converted into a JetBlue Travel Bank credit that can be used for future flights, usually valid for one year. JetBlue also has a 24-hour cancellation policy where you can cancel any ticket within 24 hours of booking without any fees, as long as your flight is at least seven days away. If you cancel a non-refundable ticket after the 24-hour window, JetBlue charges a cancellation fee, typically $100 for flights within North America and $200 for international flights. This fee is deducted before issuing a Travel Bank credit. You can cancel your flight through the Manage Trips section on JetBlue’s website. Refunds for refundable tickets usually take 7 to 10 business days to process back to your original payment method. In some cases, such as death or serious illness, JetBlue may offer a full refund for non-refundable tickets if you provide proper documentation and request it within a set time. Overall, refundable tickets provide the best chance for a cash refund, while non-refundable tickets generally offer travel credit instead. It is important to understand your fare type and cancel within allowed timeframes to maximize your refund options.
