Yes, JetBlue does charge a cancellation fee, but the amount depends on the type of fare you’ve purchased and when you cancel.
-
Blue Basic Fare: If you purchased a Blue Basic ticket (JetBlue’s basic economy option), you’ll typically have to pay a cancellation fee if you decide to cancel. The fee is usually $100 for domestic flights and $200 for international flights. However, you may also lose your entire ticket price if you don’t cancel before the departure.
-
Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, and Mint Fares: If you bought one of these more flexible fare types, cancellations are usually free within 24 hours of booking (provided you booked at least 7 days before the flight). After that, if you cancel, JetBlue typically doesn’t charge a fee but will issue a credit for the value of your ticket that you can use for future travel.
-
JetBlue Travel Credit: If you cancel after the 24-hour window, and you are eligible for a credit, the amount of the credit will depend on the fare class and the specific rules of your ticket. You must use that credit within a year of the original purchase date.
JetBlue also has a No Change Fee policy, meaning they don’t charge for changing flights, but you’ll still be responsible for any fare difference if the new flight is more expensive.
