If you cancel a JetBlue flight, whether you get a refund depends on the type of ticket you bought and when you cancel. For refundable tickets, you can cancel anytime before the flight and receive a full refund to your original payment method. For non-refundable tickets, the rules are different. If you have a Blue Basic fare, canceling will usually mean paying a cancellation fee, and the remaining amount will be credited to your JetBlue Travel Bank to use for future flights. Other non-refundable fares like Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, and Mint allow cancellations without a fee, but instead of a cash refund, you get a credit in your Travel Bank. This credit is valid for 12 months and can be used toward other JetBlue flights. JetBlue also offers a 24-hour risk-free cancellation policy where you can cancel within 24 hours of booking and get a full refund if your flight is at least seven days away. If you miss your flight without canceling, you will not get any refund, and all fees and charges will be lost. In special cases like illness or family emergencies, JetBlue may consider refunds on non-refundable tickets, but you need to provide proof and contact customer service. Overall, refundable tickets give you the best chance to get your money back, while non-refundable tickets often result in credits or cancellation fees. It is important to check your ticket type and cancellation policies before making changes.
