Jetblue schedule change experiences
Hey all I took advantage of a cyber monday jetblue vacations travel package. when I booked there were 3 flight options between Long beach and las vegas, morning, lunchtime, evening. I picked lunchtime for both directions. Yesterday I get an email saying that due to schedule changes I am now morning for both legs. I went online and now they only have 2 flights, morning and evening. My new flights are nearly 3 hour difference than what I originally booked.
Picking the later flights would suck, but the morning one from LBC to vegas is super inconvenient from ventura county. Any chance for some sort of compensation/goodwill gesture on jetblues part? I mean if i tried to change my flights they would charge me a change fee....I really have a good deal with the vacations package, maybe i can keep the room, request the current flight prices in jetblue credit and then pick a flight on another carrier from burbank?
Does jetblue have any "partnerships" I would take a noon flight with say southwest from bur or lax since they no longer offer their own out of long beach.
Note- I had $80 in true blue that went to the cost of the flight so one option is i can cancel and would receive a "refund" I would assume I would get my $80 credit back and it would reset the 1 year of expiration?
Thanks

No partnerships. Big recent pullback from LGB. We fly there from BOS (Only nonstop out there) regularly, so pray they keep it. They will move you to the evening flights if you call or use the Chat feature. That's about all you can hope for. Ask for EMS but don't expect to get it

efective October, but many flights already canceled. We have family near LGB and that was a huge time and crowd savings to be able to fly directly to there.

Jet Blue seems to be terrible with schedule changes. I had a flight cancelled and JetBlue refused to book the flight 30 minutes earlier only offer refund. Cost to rebook on new flight was astronomically higher.
