Need to change a JetBlue flight? You can usually modify an eligible booking through Manage Trips on JetBlue's website or app. Whether you have to pay extra depends on your fare type, the price of the new flight, and when you make the change.

How Do I Change a JetBlue Flight?
The simplest way is to open Manage Trips, find your reservation, select the flight-change option, and choose a new flight.
You will generally need your confirmation code or ticket number and the passenger's last name to access the reservation.
Once you find your trip:
- Select the flight you want to change.
- Choose your new travel date or flight.
- Review the new fare.
- Check the fare difference and applicable charges.
- Confirm the change.
- Save your updated itinerary.
Does JetBlue Charge a Flight Change Fee?
JetBlue's change rules depend on the fare you purchased.
Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra and Mint fares generally do not have a standard change or cancellation fee. However, a fare difference can still apply when you select another flight.
Blue Basic has more restrictive rules and may have different change conditions or charges.
This means no change fee does not necessarily mean changing your JetBlue flight will cost nothing.
What Is the JetBlue Fare Difference?
The fare difference is the difference between the price of your original ticket and the current price of your new flight.
For example, suppose your original JetBlue ticket cost $250.
If the replacement flight costs $340, the fare difference is $90.
Even if your ticket has no standard change fee, you may still need to pay that $90 difference.
If the new flight costs less, how the remaining value is handled depends on the applicable fare and ticket rules.
Can I Change My JetBlue Flight Online?
Yes. Eligible JetBlue reservations can be changed online through Manage Trips.
This is usually the easiest option if you simply want to change your travel date or choose another available flight.
You may need to contact JetBlue customer service if the reservation cannot be changed online or your booking requires additional assistance.
Can I Rebook My JetBlue Flight for Another Day?
Yes, if your ticket allows changes and the replacement flight is available.
Open your reservation and search for your preferred new travel date. Available flights and the applicable price should be displayed before you confirm the change.
If the replacement flight is more expensive, expect to pay the applicable fare difference.
Can I Change a JetBlue Flight on the Same Day?
Eligible travellers may have same-day change or standby options, subject to JetBlue's current rules and seat availability.
Same-day changes are different from moving your reservation to another travel date. Route, airport, fare, and availability restrictions may apply.
What Happens If JetBlue Changes or Cancels My Flight?
If JetBlue changes or cancels your flight, check the options provided by the airline before making a voluntary change yourself.
Airline-initiated disruptions can have different rebooking and refund rules from a change requested by the passenger.
JetBlue may have already:
- Rebooked you on another flight
- Provided another travel option
- Allowed you to select a replacement flight
- Provided cancellation or refund options
Can I Change a JetBlue Flight After Missing It?
Your options may become more limited after the flight has departed, so contact JetBlue as quickly as possible.
If you fail to board your scheduled flight, no-show rules may affect your ticket and potentially the remaining flights on the itinerary.
Do not assume that purchasing another outbound ticket will leave the rest of your original reservation unchanged. Check the status of your remaining flights first.
What Do I Need to Rebook a JetBlue Flight?
Keep these details ready:
- Passenger's full name
- JetBlue confirmation code
- Ticket number
- Original flight details
- Preferred new travel date
- Preferred replacement flight
- Payment method for any additional fare
Having a preferred replacement flight ready can make the rebooking process quicker.
