JetBlue's baggage policy is designed to accommodate a range of travel needs while ensuring the safety and comfort of all passengers. Here's an overview of their baggage policy:
Carry-On Baggage: JetBlue allows one carry-on bag and one personal item (e.g., purse, laptop bag) per passenger. The carry-on bag must not exceed the dimensions of 22" L x 14" W x 9" H, including handles and wheels. These items must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.
Checked Baggage: Passengers can check bags with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (157.48 cm) and a weight limit of 50 pounds (22.68 kg). The fees for checked baggage vary depending on the fare option purchased and the number of bags. The first checked bag typically incurs a fee, with additional costs for any subsequent bags. For example, a second checked bag may cost $45, available only at the airport, and the fee for a third or additional checked bag is $200/£150/€185.
Overweight and Oversized Bags: Bags weighing more than 50 pounds (22.68 kg) but less than 99 pounds (44.91 kg) or with dimensions exceeding 62 inches (157.48 cm) but less than 80 inches (203.2 cm) will incur additional fees.
Overweight bags are charged at $150 each, and oversized bags also have a fee of $150 each.
Special Items and Sports Equipment: JetBlue accommodates special items and sports equipment, such as bicycles, surfboards, and golf bags, as part of a passenger's checked baggage allowance. However, these items are subject to specific packing requirements and may incur additional fees if they exceed standard size and weight limits.
Baggage Fees Refund: Checked bag fees are only refundable if the entire booking is canceled before the scheduled departure.
JetBlue Carry-On Baggage Policy
JetBlue's carry-on baggage policy is designed to accommodate passengers' needs for convenience and efficiency while traveling. Here are the key points of JetBlue's carry-on baggage policy:
Allowance: Each passenger is allowed one carry-on bag plus one personal item. The personal item could be a purse, briefcase, laptop bag, or a similar item that fits under the seat in front of you.
Carry-On Bag Size: The carry-on bag must not exceed 22 inches (55.88 cm) in length, 14 inches (35.56 cm) in width, and 9 inches (22.86 cm) in height. This includes handles and wheels. The bag must fit in the overhead bin.
Personal Item Size: While specific dimensions for the personal item are not strictly defined, it must be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you. Items typically considered acceptable include laptop bags, small backpacks, purses, and briefcases.
Restrictions: All items must be securely packed and able to fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Anything that cannot be safely stowed will need to be checked in, possibly incurring additional fees.
Special Considerations: Certain items can be brought on board in addition to the standard carry-on allowance, such as diaper bags for passengers traveling with infants, assistive devices for individuals with disabilities, and outer garments (like coats or hats).
Liquids Rule: As per TSA regulations, liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes in carry-on bags must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per container and must be in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, with a limit of one quart-sized bag per passenger.
