JetBlue pet no longer flying: separate the fee from the carrier purchase

If your pet will not travel, contact JetBlue to remove it from the itinerary before scheduled departure and request the pet-fee refund. Specify that you are removing the pet if you still intend to fly.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    Treat the physical carrier as a separate purchase. A carrier bought from JetBlue at the airport can only be returned at the airport. For a ShopBlue purchase, consult ShopBlue’s separate return policy. Once the carrier’s packaging is open, it is nonrefundable.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    Check the receipt and packaging before choosing a return channel. Keep the pet-fee removal response separate from the carrier-return request so you can see which charge each response addresses. Unopened packaging alone does not establish approval of a return.
