Government taxes and fees will apply to each one-way flight booked using a Go Pack and will vary depending on the particular route being flown.  Please see each available Go Pack for the price, the routes included, and the taxes and fees for each flight.  Applicable taxes and fees must be paid at time of booking by the traveler using the Go Pack code.  These taxes/fees are not included in your Go Pack price because you may elect not to take all 10 flights in your Go Pack or you may elect to share your Go Pack codes with others; taxes and fees will only be due for flights actually booked, and only the traveler using the Go Pack code will pay the taxes and fees for the particular flight being booked with that code. *IMPORTANT*:  All routes included in the SJU Go Pack are considered international.  Proof of return ticket or travel to another destination ("onward travel") is required for all international destinations.  You must purchase a return flight or onward travel when booking any flight included in this SAN JUAN Go Pack, either by using another Go Pack code or purchasing an airline ticket on JetBlue or another airline.  CUSTOMERS NOT HOLDING A RETURN/ONWARD TRAVEL TICKET COULD BE REFUSED ENTRY INTO AN INTERNATIONAL DESTINATION.  A Go Pack may be purchased between 8/28/2012 and 9/6/2012 or while supplies last.

The Go Pack codes in the Go Pack may be divided among multiple travelers, but each individual Go Pack code is valid for only one customer for one booking; if you and another traveler each wish to use a Go Pack code on the same flight, you must complete separate bookings using two separate codes. Go Pack is valid only for the specified JetBlue flights and is not valid in connection with partner or code share or interline flights. .  Travel using a Go Pack is subject to availability; all seats on qualifying routes are available for booking and subject to selling out.  A Go Pack does not guarantee availability on any particular flight.  Flight schedules are subject to change without notice or liability to you.

Flight reservation change fees and cancellation penalties apply. Additional restrictions apply.  See the full Go Pack Terms and Conditions for complete and important information about Go Pack. 

(b) Certain flights require more points and higher government taxes/fees to redeem award travel. The number of points required for a particular flight is based on the published base fare at the time of booking, which depends on, among other things, the flight chosen and applicability of peak travel periods. Taxes and fees apply to award flights, are the responsibility of the passenger, and will vary based on your departure and destination cities. For domestic award flights, taxes/fees range from $2.50-$5.00 for one-way and $5.00-$10.00 for roundtrip flights.
