JetBlue Vacations Promises Rain Won't Dampen Your Getaway

For those craving a sunny escape, JetBlue Vacations has teamed up with WeatherPromise to ensure rain won't ruin your vibe. The airline's latest partnership promises reimbursement for trips affected by "significant rainfall."

JetBlue Travel president Jamie Perry summed it up nicely in a press release, saying, "We know how important vacations are, and by offering coverage against weather disruptions, we’re ensuring our customers can focus on enjoying their trips with confidence and peace of mind." Translation: no more side-eyeing those storm clouds during your beach getaway.

Here’s the deal: JetBlue customers who book eligible "Flight + Hotel vacation packages" will now be protected for all trip components, including rental cars and activities. WeatherPromise, a tech startup that debuted just last year, uses historical weather data, destination info, and trip duration to determine if rainfall meets the threshold for reimbursement. If it does, you’ll get your money back automatically—no messy paperwork required. Yes, really.

WeatherPromise is already collaborating with various "travel and experience" companies worldwide to offer a "weather guarantee" for travelers. Co-founder Daniel Price emphasized their mission, saying, "Our relationship allows us and JetBlue to fulfill our mission of giving everyone the joy and freedom to travel the world without worrying about the weather." That’s one way to make Mother Nature a little less intimidating.

Research backs up the idea that bad weather can ruin travel moods. A study from the National Institutes of Health found that higher temperatures elevated travel satisfaction, while rain or snow had the opposite effect. No shocker there, right?

So, if you’re booking your next vacation and worrying about a storm stealing your fun, JetBlue Vacations and WeatherPromise might just have your back. Now, all you need to stress about is which SPF to pack.
