JetBlue Fare Types: The Cancellation Hierarchy<\/b><\/h2>\n

JetBlue<\/span><\/a> offers five core fare types: Blue Basic, Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, and Mint. All fares offer fee-free cancellation, except for Blue Basic (most restrictive). The airline issues the remaining value as a JetBlue Travel Bank credit for eligible fares. The credit comes with a 12-month validity period. Blue Basic holders pay a $100-$200 fee and receive a credit for the remaining ticket value. Refundable fares offer maximum protection and issue a full refund if you cancel the flight at any time before departure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

JetBlue 24-Hour Cancellation Policy<\/b><\/h3>\n

JetBlue offers a risk-free 24-hour window. All passengers, including Blue Basic fare holders, can cancel their ticket for free and receive a full refund to the original payment method. The rule states that you should cancel it within 24 hours of booking, and your flight departure should be at least seven (7) days away. The upside is that you\u2019ll receive a cash refund to the original payment method and not a credit, as is the case with cancellation after the initial window expires.<\/span><\/p>\n
