"Booking a JetBlue Getaways vacation package should feel like the beginning of your getaway," said Grant McCarthy, JetBlue's director of getaways and ancillary travel.

By waiving the change fee for the first change to a vacation, we're passing on even more savings and peace-of-mind. Traveling as a family of four and want to fly on an earlier flight? That's $400 back in your pocket."
