JetBlue waivers program goes out to people who booked Puerto Rico up until beginning of April.
JetBlue is giving free itinerary changes destinations, dates, or credit good for one year to use toward travel.

· Impacted Cities: BQN, PSE, SJU
· Waiver Code: WXB6INKS17
· Original Booking Date: on or before Tuesday, October 3, 2017
· Original Travel Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2017 through Monday, April 2, 2018


I would think any airlines that services Puerto Rico would have something similar in place. That April date is very disturbing.

Punta Cana by example had a waiver for travel up until Sept 26th for travel with Jet Blue.

Airbnb has not posted official policy but they are not charging services fees and from what I understand letting people cancel and get 100% back even when there is an original strict cancellation policy.

Remember unlike Homeaway where you paid the host and need to negotiated funds back directly, AirBnB is the party paid by you in advance. The AirBnb host only gets your payment for "current use" 24 hours after you have checked-in. Btw, this is why you really need to complain about a bad space immediately. You have 24 hours to complain and for AirBnb to withhold payment to use towards another space for you asap.
