JetBlue Vacations unveiled a pretty significant upgrade.
The airline announced on Wednesday that its offering free changes on all flight and hotel packages booked this year. You can enjoy the flexibility of not having any change fees when you book roundtrip flights and a hotel together, according to the website.

In other words, you can breathe easy that you won’t get charged if you need to change your plans. There are just a few things to keep in mind:
- You must change your itinerary at least seven days prior to your departure
- The policy doesn’t apply to cancellations, just changes
- You’ll need to call 1-844-528-2229 to make a change to your booking
- If you do end up changing your booking, have your new plan figured out ahead of time
This is a nice development from JetBlue, and definitely a step in the right direction. We always love to see travel companies be compassionate and flexible when travelers need to change their plans. Life happens, right?
