Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders’ Equity On September 10, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $250 million worth of JetBlue common stock over a three year period beginning in January 2016. On December 7, 2016, the Board approved certain changes to our share repurchase program, or the 2016 Authorization, to increase the aggregate authorization to $500 million worth of common stock, and to extend the term of the program through December 2019. The 2016 Authorization was completed in 2017. On December 8, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a two year share repurchase program, or the 2017 Authorization, of up to $750 million worth of common stock beginning on January 1, 2018. The 2017 Authorization was completed in 2019. On September 19, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, or the 2019 Authorization, of up to $800 million worth of common stock beginning on October 1, 2019 and ending no later than December 31, 2021. Our share repurchase programs include authorization for repurchases in open market transactions pursuant to Rules 10b-18 and/or 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and/or one or more privately-negotiated accelerated stock repurchase transactions. In 2017, we entered into three separate ASR agreements for a sum of $380 million. A total of 18.7 million shares were repurchased under these ASR agreements with an average price paid per share of $20.36. In 2018, we entered into three separate ASR agreements for a sum of $375 million. A total of 19.1 million shares were repurchased under these ASR agreements with an average price paid per share of $19.60. In 2019, we entered into four separate ASR agreements for a sum of $535 million. A total of 28.1 million shares were repurchased under these ASR agreements with an average price paid per share of $19.02. The total shares purchased by JetBlue under each of the ASRs in 2019, 2018, and 2017 were based on the volume weighted average prices of JetBlue's common stock during the terms of the respective agreements. As of December 31, 2019, we had a total of 18.3 million shares of our common stock reserved for issuance. These shares are primarily related to our equity incentive plans. Refer to Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our share-based compensation. As of December 31, 2019, we had a total of 144.6 million shares of treasury stock.
