Seat Assignments

EvenMore®, Main Preferred and Mint Studio seat assignments are available for purchase via the GDS. An EMD is required to be issued for all paid seats. If a paid seat assignment is purchased directly with JetBlue, you will not see the EMD in the agency PNR.

Main Base and EvenMore Base seats can be assigned via the GDS. If a seat assignment is purchased directly with JetBlue, you will not see the EMD in the agency PNR. Main Base and EvenMore Base customers may also upgrade to an EvenMore or Main Preferred seat. 

Notes:

• If an EMD is not issued in a timely manner for a paid seat, a robotic will remove the seat assignment and the customer will not have a seat.

• EMDs are refundable in cases of involuntary or voluntary itinerary changes only. If the itinerary does not change, then all paid EMDs are non-refundable and the travel agent will be issued a debit memo for improperly refunded EMDs.
• EMDs must be canceled before flights are modified.
• If the customer still wishes to purchase the ancillary on the new itinerary, a new EMD should be issued.
• EMDs are not interlineable, endorsable, or exchangeable.
• It is the travel agent’s responsibility to reassociate an EMD if it becomes disassociated.
• If the travel agent refunds or voids an EMD, it is that travel agent’s responsibility to remove the associated ancillary (AE).
• If the travel agent cancels the underlying segment, the AE will automatically be removed.

An extra seat can be purchased for those who want an open seat next to them for more space between travelers.

When you purchase an extra seat, both seats must be booked in the same fare option. The fare option selected will determine your baggage allowance. The carry-on baggage allowance remains the same per person.
