JetBlue Same Day Flight Change Policy Explained

  Sometimes life throws a curveball, and your flight plans need to shift — not tomorrow, not next week, but today. If you're flying with JetBlue and your schedule changes last minute, there's good news. JetBlue offers a same day flight change policy that lets you adjust your flight without the stress of canceling and rebooking.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how JetBlue’s same day flight changes policy works and how you can take advantage of it when plans change.

What Is a Same Day Flight Change?

JetBlue’s same day flight change allows you to switch your scheduled flight to another flight on the same calendar day. So, if your original flight is at 6 PM, and you’d rather leave at 10 AM (or even later in the evening), this option lets you move — without starting over.

Who Can Use This Option?

Not all JetBlue fares qualify for same day changes, so here are the basics:

  • You must be flying within the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

  • Your new flight must have the same origin and destination as your original one.

  • You can request a change starting 24 hours before your originally scheduled flight.

  • The new flight must be on the same calendar day.

  • Same day changes are subject to seat availability.

Passengers flying on JetBlue’s Blue Extra fare often receive free same day changes. Other fare types, like Blue or Blue Basic, may require a small fee.

How to Make a Same Day Flight Change

There are a few easy ways to make the switch:

Change Online or Through the App

  1. Go to JetBlue’s website or open the JetBlue mobile app

  2. Log in to your account or go to "Manage Trips"

  3. Select the flight you want to change

  4. Choose an available flight on the same day

  5. Pay the fee, if required

  6. Confirm your change and get your updated boarding pass

This is the fastest and most convenient option.

Call JetBlue Customer Service

If you prefer to speak with someone or need help finding available flights, call JetBlue’s support team. They can walk you through your options and process the change for you.

At the Airport

If you’re already at the airport, go to a JetBlue service desk. The staff can help you check availability and make the change, as long as it's still within the allowed timeframe.

How Much Does It Cost?

JetBlue charges a same day change fee of $75 for most fares. However, if you booked a Blue Extra fare, or if you're a Mosaic member, same day changes are free.

Note: If your new flight costs more than your original, you don’t have to pay the fare difference. That’s a big win for flexibility.

Final Thoughts

JetBlue’s same day flight change policy is a great option when plans change but you still need to travel that same day. It’s simple, affordable, and can save you the hassle of canceling your trip altogether. Whether you need to leave earlier or stay a bit longer, JetBlue makes it easy to adjust without the extra stress.
