Minor Policy
The Unaccompanied Minors (UMNR) program is obligatory for children aged five and under 14 years when traveling alone. Once a child turns 14, they are considered an adult traveler, but customers can still request extra assistance in such cases.
To ensure safety, JetBlue restricts the number of unaccompanied minors on each flight to a maximum of three.
You can make reservations for unaccompanied minors on the JetBlue website. When you complete the online booking, a fee of $150 per person, per one-way trip, will be automatically added to the total cost and must be paid at the time of booking.
Flight Cancellation Policy
JetBlue’s cancellation policy varies for different ticket types. Non-refundable tickets can be canceled before departure with no cancellation fees, but a per-person fee may apply, and you’ll receive a JetBlue travel credit for the remaining balance. If not canceled before departure, you’ll lose the ticket’s value. Refundable tickets allow full refunds before departure, while after departure, unused funds become a JetBlue travel credit, valid for twelve months from the ticketing date.
Flight Change Policy
If you change your travel plans, whether it’s your choice or due to circumstances, any associated EMDs and AE must be refunded. EMDs cannot be exchanged. If you still want to add extras to your new itinerary, you’ll need a new EMD. If your plans stay the same, paid EMDs are non-refundable, and the travel agent may receive a debit memo for improperly refunded EMDs.
If you bought extras on JetBlue’s website and your plans change, contact JetBlue to handle the EMD refund and get a new one.

JetBlue No-Show Policy:

Pet Policy
JetBlue allows small dogs and cats weighing under 20 pounds in the cabin. Travel and entry requirements for pets vary by destination, so be sure to check the specific requirements for each place on your travel itinerary.
- International travel may have additional restrictions, documentation, and requirements. U.S. entry requirements for pets depend on their country of origin. Only small dogs and cats are accepted, and their combined weight with the carrier must not exceed 20 pounds.
- The pet and carrier count as one personal item and must fit under the seat. You can purchase a pet carrier at the JFK T5 ticket counter (credit card only). Only one pet is allowed per carrier, and pets must stay inside the carrier at all times in the airport and on the plane.
- If you’re traveling on a Blue Basic fare, you can bring a personal item in addition to the pet carrier since carry-on bags are not allowed.
