Yes, you can get a refund if you cancel a JetBlue flight,1_83 38 45 1858  but the eligibility for a refund depends on several key factors including the fare type, timing of the cancellation, and whether the airline or the passenger initiates the cancellation. JetBlue provides a 24-hour risk-free cancellation policy that allows all customers regardless of fare type—to cancel their booking within 24 hours of purchase and receive a full refund to their original form of payment, as long as the booking was made at least seven days before the flight’s scheduled departure. This policy applies even to non-refundable Blue Basic fares. Beyond that 24-hour window, whether you receive a refund or a travel credit depends heavily on the type of ticket purchased. Refundable fares, which are usually more expensive, allow travelers to cancel their booking at any time before departure and get a full cash refund. On the other hand, most non-refundable fares including Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra, and Mint do not offer cash refunds after the initial 24-hour period, but you can cancel them and receive a travel credit for the full value of the ticket. This credit is deposited into your JetBlue Travel Bank and is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance.

However, Blue Basic fares are more restrictive. If you cancel a Blue Basic fare after the 24-hour grace period, JetBlue will deduct a cancellation fee typically $100 for flights within the U.S., Caribbean, and Central America, and up to $200 for long-haul international routes from the total value before issuing a credit. If JetBlue cancels your flight for any reason, such as weather disruptions, mechanical issues, or scheduling changes, you are eligible for a full refund regardless of your fare type. In such cases, you may also choose to rebook on another flight without additional charges. Additionally, award tickets booked with JetBlue’s TrueBlue points can be canceled, and the points are typically returned to your account. Any taxes or fees paid with cash on an award ticket are credited to your Travel Bank. Refunds to credit cards generally take 7 to 10 business days to process, while travel credits are usually available almost immediately. In cases where passengers face emergencies such as a death in the family or serious illness, JetBlue may review refund requests on a case-by-case basis. To cancel a booking, travelers can visit the JetBlue website, log in under the “Manage Trips” section, or contact customer service directly by phone or online chat.1_83 38 45 1858  Overall, while JetBlue is flexible with cancellations, especially for higher-tier or refundable fares, understanding your specific fare rules is crucial to determining whether you qualify for a refund or a travel credit.
