JetBlue Customer Rebooking Policy Expansion

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- JetBlue Airways today expands its rebooking policy for customers booked to travel on JetBlue through Monday, Feb. 19, 2007:

Customers booked through Monday, Feb. 19 may voluntarily rebook their travel without penalty or fare difference through Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Customers are not required to contact JetBlue prior to their originally scheduled departure. Customers need only contact JetBlue before May 22 to rebook their travel. Rebooked travel must be completed by May 22.

If customers choose to rebook the same routing for different days, JetBlue will waive all change fees and fare differences. If customers choose to rebook to another destination, JetBlue will waive the change fee, but fare differences will not be waived.

To rebook, customers are asked to call JetBlue at 800-JETBLUE (800-538-2583). JetBlue Reservations is experiencing enormous call volume, and customers may not be able to get through today.

If customers prefer, JetBlue will convert the full value of their travel into a JetBlue credit good for future JetBlue travel. Customers may convert the value of their travel into a JetBlue credit online at http://www.jetblue.com/manageflights/irop.asp.

Customers whose JetBlue flight has been cancelled may opt for a full refund via http://www.jetblue.com/manageflights/iropcc.asp.

With JetBlue, all seats are assigned, all travel is ticketless, all fares are one-way, and an overnight stay is never required.
