How lenient is B6 with reaommidating sched changes?

My June BOS-LAX flight was recently changed, with a departure time pushed from about 930 to 10pm.

It's a discount mint ticket, and I have no status.

The earlier flight has no discount seats left.

Does JetBlue open inventory if asked?

A quick Google search reveals the answer...from JetBlue's own website.

I'm also sure they'd tell you right away if you called.

FT is where I'd go if those two resources failed.

I think you're pushing your luck asking to move to a flight 5 hours earlier because the departure rescheduled to 30 minutes later. I would not expect them to accommodate that.

But you can always ask.

You will have to pay the fare difference and probably a change fee.

It never hurts to ask via phone. While the answer is likely a fare difference and change fee, the phone agents seem to have leeway as well on a case by case basis.

I had a similar issue. Mint, MOSAIC, and they changed my entire leg for me (direct now, vs connecting before).

I'm sure MOSAIC status helped.

The official policy is that if the schedule changes, and the change is less than two hours, you can rebook for free to any flight on the same day, without paying a change fee or fare difference.

Thanks for all the feedback. They changed it with a simple request over the phone.
