If you book a flight with JetBlue and the fare drops later, you may be eligible to receive the difference as a credit, depending on the type of ticket you purchased. JetBlue allows passengers who booked most fare types—such as Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, or Mint—to change or cancel their flights without a fee. If you notice that the same flight is now being sold at a lower price, you can cancel your original ticket and rebook it at the new lower fare. Once you do this, JetBlue will issue the price difference as a credit to your Travel Bank account, which you can use for future flights within a set time frame, usually one year from the date of issue.

However, if your ticket was booked under the Blue Basic fare, which is JetBlue’s most restrictive option, there is a cancellation fee involved. This means if the price of your flight goes down, you would need to pay a fee to cancel or change your booking, and only the remaining balance after that fee would be credited to your Travel Bank. This can make it less beneficial to rebook unless the price difference is large enough to outweigh the cancellation fee.

JetBlue also has a price guarantee if you find a lower fare on the same day of booking. If the price of the same exact flight drops that same day, you can contact JetBlue and request compensation. If you meet the conditions, they may issue a travel credit for the difference. This same-day policy gives customers a short window to act if they see an immediate price change.

If you booked your flight using TrueBlue points, and the number of points required for your flight goes down later, JetBlue allows you to cancel and rebook using fewer points. The unused points will go back into your account, and any money paid in addition to points will be credited back to your Travel Bank.

To take advantage of a lower fare, it is up to you to monitor the price of your flight after booking. If you see the price drop, you can cancel your original ticket and rebook it at the lower price. This is especially easy to do with fares that do not have change fees. The credit issued can then be applied toward future JetBlue travel.

In conclusion, JetBlue does offer the option to get the difference back as credit when your flight becomes cheaper after booking, but the refund comes in the form of travel credit and is subject to the rules of your specific fare. Flexible fares make it easy to rebook and get a credit, while Blue Basic fares include penalties. Always check your fare type and track your flight to benefit if the price drops.
