jetBlue Airways Baggage Allowance

Free checked and carry-on baggage allowances by cabin class and route. Allowances vary by route, ticket type, and frequent flyer status — always confirm with the official baggage policy before you fly.

Checked baggage

Fare- and route-dependent piece concept mapped to economy; baseline free allowance is 0 on most U.S./Latin America/Caribbean/Canada routes and 1 bag on transatlantic and select LatAm routes for Main/Main Flex (Main Base remains 0). Mint is separate; loyalty/card benefits are notes only.

Label	Amount	Notes
Within the U.S., Latin America, Caribbean and Canada — Main Base / Main / Main Flex	No free checked baggage	Rendered on https://www.jetblue.com/at-the-airport/baggage-information table 'Within the U.S., Latin America, Caribbean and Canada:' — row 'Main Base/Main/Main Flex/EvenMore® Base/EvenMore/EvenMore Flex' shows verbatim '1st Bag: $45 (incl $4 savings) 2nd Bag: $59 (incl $10 savings)' off-peak more than 24h before departure, and '1st Bag: $49 (incl $10 savings) 2nd Bag: $69 (incl $10 savings)' peak — both indicate no free bag. Cross-checked on https://www.jetblue.com/help/checked-bags which renders the identical table. Cross-check FAQ on same page: 'Do any of the fares include free checked bags? Yes. Mint includes 2 checked bags. And, on all transatlantic flights and select international routes, Main, Main Flex, EvenMore, and EvenMore Flex also include 1 checked bag.' — by negation, domestic Main fares are 0 free. The rule for 3rd+ bag on this region is verbatim 'The fee for 3rd (or more) checked bag is $200.' (price domain omitted from amount). Checked bag size verbatim from both pages: 'Checked bags should not exceed 62" (157.48 cm) in overall dimensions (length + width + height) or 50 pounds (22.68 kg) in weight. Bags that don't meet the dimensions and/or weight restrictions are considered oversized and/or overweight and will be charged.' Oversized 63–80 in (160–203.3 cm) and overweight 51–99 lbs (23.13–44.91 kg) are fee items (price_categories domain). TrueBlue/Mosaic and JetBlue Plus/Premier Card free-bag benefits are NOT counted in this baseline amount per task rule — see notes field for those benefits: Mosaic 1 gets 1st bag Included, Mosaic 2-4 gets 2 bags Included, Plus/Premier Cardmembers get 1st bag Included (footnotes 1–5) — retained in notes only. Footnote 6 on this row: 'First checked bag included on all transatlantic routes as well as flights to/from CTG, GYE, MDE, PAP, GEO, BAQ, & CLO.' — explains why the same fare family is 0 here but 1 on transatlantic/select routes (see items below).
Transatlantic — Main Base	No free checked baggage	Rendered on both official pages under 'Transatlantic flights' table — row 'Main Base/EvenMore Base' shows verbatim '1st Bag: $75/£65/€70 (Incl $5/£5/€5 savings) 2nd Bag: $109/£89/€99' off-peak more than 24h, and '1st Bag: $85/£75/€80 (Incl $5/£5/€5 savings) 2nd Bag: $119/£99/€109' peak — indicating no free bag for Main Base on transatlantic. Cross-check: same table on https://www.jetblue.com/help/checked-bags renders identical values; fee for 3rd+ bag transatlantic is verbatim 'The fee for a 3rd (or more) checked bag on transatlantic routes is $200/£150/€185 for off-peak and $210/£160/€195 for peak.' (paid, not free allowance). Bag size/weight standard as above: 62" (157.48 cm) and 50 lbs (22.68 kg) max; transatlantic note verbatim 'Bags that exceed 70 pounds (31.75 kg) are not accepted on transatlantic flights' (checked-bag size section on help/checked-bags and baggage-information). Mosaic and cardmember rows in same table show 'Included' for eligible members/cardholders, but those are loyalty benefits kept in notes only per DATA RULES — not in baseline amount.
Transatlantic — Main / Main Flex	Included — 1 × 23 kg (50 lbs) up to 62" (157.48 cm)	Rendered on both official pages under 'Transatlantic flights' table — row 'Main/Main Flex/EvenMore/EvenMore Flex' shows verbatim '1st Bag: Included 2nd Bag: $109/£89/€99' off-peak, and '1st Bag: Included 2nd Bag: $119/£99/€109' peak — first bag is free. Cross-check verbatim FAQ on https://www.jetblue.com/at-the-airport/baggage-information: 'Yes. Mint includes 2 checked bags. And, on all transatlantic flights and select international routes, Main, Main Flex, EvenMore, and EvenMore Flex also include 1 checked bag.' and footnote 6 verbatim 'First checked bag included on all transatlantic routes as well as flights to/from CTG, GYE, MDE, PAP, GEO, BAQ, & CLO.' Weight/size verbatim for this free bag: standard checked limit 'should not exceed 62" (157.48 cm) in overall dimensions (length + width + height) or 50 pounds (22.68 kg)' — the free bag is within that envelope; overweight 51–99 lbs is fee $150/£120/€140 per bag (price domain) and 'Bags that exceed 70 pounds (31.75 kg) are not accepted on transatlantic flights.' Second bag on this route group is paid (see 2nd Bag $109/£89/€99 off-peak, $119/£99/€109 peak) — omitted from amount per free-only scope; 3rd+ bag fee as above.
Select international routes (to/from CTG, GYE, MDE, PAP, GEO, BAQ, CLO) — Main / Main Flex	Included — 1 × 23 kg (50 lbs) up to 62" (157.48 cm)	Rendered via footnote 6 on both pages, listed in the ordered footnote list verbatim: 'First checked bag included on all transatlantic routes as well as flights to/from CTG, GYE, MDE, PAP, GEO, BAQ, & CLO.' — applies to Main/Main Flex (and EvenMore/EvenMore Flex, see premium_economy). This is separate from the transatlantic row but shares the same free allowance. Cross-check: FAQ on baggage-information page states same selectivity: 'And, on all transatlantic flights and select international routes, Main, Main Flex, EvenMore, and EvenMore Flex also include 1 checked bag.' — select routes are those footnote cities. Weight/size same as transatlantic free bag: 62" (157.48 cm), 50 lbs (22.68 kg) standard; overweight/oversized fees and 70-lb transatlantic cap do not apply here but general caps 99 lbs / 80 in apply per help/checked-bags size section. 2nd bag on these select routes is paid; overseas bag limitations (Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Guyana/Haiti/Trinidad & Tobago) may impose a 2-bag max and 70-lb cap per https://www.jetblue.com/help/bag-limitations-select-markets and help/checked-bags 'Destinations with specific limitations' — noted as operational limit, not free allowance.

EvenMore is JetBlue's extra-legroom premium product; checked policy mirrors Main fares and is mapped to premium_economy. EvenMore Base mirrors Main Base (0 free on all routes); EvenMore/EvenMore Flex mirror Main/Main Flex (1 free on transatlantic and select routes).

Label	Amount	Notes
Within the U.S., Latin America, Caribbean and Canada — EvenMore Base / EvenMore / EvenMore Flex	No free checked baggage	Rendered on https://www.jetblue.com/at-the-airport/baggage-information table 'Within the U.S., Latin America, Caribbean and Canada:' — same combined row 'Main Base/Main/Main Flex/EvenMore® Base/EvenMore/EvenMore Flex' shows '1st Bag: $45 (incl $4 savings) / $49 peak' — therefore EvenMore Base/EvenMore/EvenMore Flex have no free bag on this region. Cross-checked on https://www.jetblue.com/help/checked-bags identical table. FAQ negation applies equally: only Mint and transatlantic/select-route Main/EvenMore fares include a free bag — therefore domestic EvenMore is 0. 3rd+ bag fee $200 same as Main. Size/weight verbatim: 62" (157.48 cm) / 50 lbs (22.68 kg) as above; oversized 63–80 in and overweight 51–99 lbs are fee items. Loyalty/card 'Included' rows (Mosaic, Plus/Premier) are notes only, not baseline.
Transatlantic — EvenMore Base	No free checked baggage	Rendered on both pages under 'Transatlantic flights' row 'Main Base/EvenMore Base' — verbatim '1st Bag: $75/£65/€70 (Incl $5/£5/€5 savings) 2nd Bag: $109/£89/€99' off-peak, '$85/£75/€80 / $119/£99/€109' peak — EvenMore Base is 0 free, mirroring Main Base. Cross-check same footnote and size/weight limits as economy transatlantic Main Base; 70-lb transatlantic cap applies ('Bags that exceed 70 pounds (31.75 kg) are not accepted on transatlantic flights'). 2nd bag paid. Mosaic/cardmember 'Included' benefits are loyalty, not baseline — kept in notes.
Transatlantic — EvenMore / EvenMore Flex	Included — 1 × 23 kg (50 lbs) up to 62" (157.48 cm)	Rendered on both pages under 'Transatlantic flights' row 'Main/Main Flex/EvenMore/EvenMore Flex' — verbatim '1st Bag: Included' off-peak and peak — EvenMore/EvenMore Flex free 1 bag same as Main/Main Flex. Cross-check FAQ verbatim 'EvenMore, and EvenMore Flex also include 1 checked bag' on transatlantic and footnote 6 'First checked bag included on all transatlantic routes as well as flights to/from CTG, GYE, MDE, PAP, GEO, BAQ, & CLO.' Weight/size 62" / 50 lbs standard; 2nd bag paid $109/£89/€99 off-peak, $119/£99/€109 peak; 3rd+ $200/£150/€185 off-peak $210/£160/€195 peak and only at airport/check-in.

Cross-check FAQ select-routes language. Standard size/weight 62" / 50 lbs; operational limits for select markets (Ecuador 2-bag max, Dominican Republic/Guyana/Haiti/Trinidad & Tobago 2-bag max Nov 16–Jan 15, etc.) per help/bag-limitations-select-markets are limits, not free allowance increases.

Mint fares include 2 checked bags on all routes, including transatlantic and domestic, with higher per-bag weight allowance (up to 70 lbs / 32 kg each) and 62" size; cross-checked on both official tables and FAQ.

All routes — Mint / Mint Flex2 bags included (up to 70 lbs / 32 kg each)
- Rendered on https://www.jetblue.com/at-the-airport/baggage-information and https://www.jetblue.com/help/checked-bags in both region tables. Within U.S./Latin America/Caribbean/Canada table: row 'Mint/Mint Flex' verbatim '1st Bag: Included (up to 70lbs./32Kgs.) 2nd Bag: Included (up to 70lbs/32kgs.)' for both Off-Peak and Peak (more than 24h tab; within-24h tab shows same Included text with $10 higher paid-bag differentials for other fares but Mint remains Included). Transatlantic table: same row verbatim '1st Bag: Included (up to 70lbs./32Kgs.) 2nd Bag: Included (up to 70lbs/32kgs.)' off-peak and peak.
- Cross-check FAQ on baggage-information page verbatim: 'Yes. Mint includes 2 checked bags. And, on all transatlantic flights and select international routes, Main... also include 1 checked bag.' — Mint 2-bag rule is route-independent.
- Weight/size verbatim: Mint free bags are explicitly annotated '(up to 70lbs./32Kgs.)' — higher than the standard 50 lbs / 22.68 kg limit for Main/EvenMore. Page prose states standard limit 'should not exceed 62" (157.48 cm) in overall dimensions (length + width + height) or 50 pounds (22.68 kg)' and then Mint exception 'Included (up to 70lbs./32Kgs.)' shows Mint bags may be up to 70 lbs included. Oversized beyond 62" to 80" (160–203.3 cm) is still $150/£120/€140 if oversized (price domain), and 'Bags that exceed 70 pounds (31.75 kg) are not accepted on transatlantic flights' still applies as absolute cap; 'Bags over 99 pounds (44.91 kg) will not be accepted' / 'Bags over 80 inches (203.3 cm) will not be accepted' per help/checked-bags.
- TrueBlue Mosaic and cardmember benefits are separate and not added to Mint baseline per DATA RULES — Mint already includes 2 bags regardless of status; Mosaic 2-4 and cardmember footnotes are notes only.

Carry-on baggage

All cabins (All fares — including Main Base)

All JetBlue fares include 1 carry-on bag (space permitting) plus 1 personal item; no weight limit for carry-on beyond ability to lift; FAA-allowed extras are additional. Cabin sizes kept verbatim from both pages.

All routes — 1 carry-on bag + 1 personal item1 carry-on bag (max. 22" x 14" x 9" / 55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm) + 1 personal item (max. 17" x 13" x 8" / 43.2 x 33 x 20.32 cm)
- Rendered on https://www.jetblue.com/at-the-airport/baggage-information paragraph verbatim: 'All fares include a carry-on bag (space permitting) that fits in the overhead bin, plus a personal item like a purse, daypack, laptop bag or approved pet carrier, to be placed all the way under the seat in front of you.' Cross-checked on https://www.jetblue.com/help/carry-on-bags general info verbatim: 'JetBlue lets you bring one carry-on and one personal item on all fares, with no weight limit as long as you can lift it.' and 'Each customer is allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item (purse, small backpack, briefcase, laptop, etc.). Carry-on bags may be stowed in the overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you, while personal items must be placed beneath the seat in front of you.'
- Size verbatim on baggage-information page: 'Carry-on bags must not exceed 22" L (55.88 cm) x 14" W (35.56 cm) x 9" H (22.86 cm), including wheels and handles.' and 'Personal items must not exceed 17" L (43.2 cm) x 13" W (33 cm) x 8" H (20.32 cm).' Cross-check on https://www.jetblue.com/help/carry-on-bags size section verbatim: 'Overhead bin: Including wheels and handles, carry-on bags must not exceed 22" L (55.88 cm) x 14" W (35.56 cm) x 9" H (22.86 cm). Under the seat: Personal items must not exceed 17" L (43.2 cm) x 13" W (33 cm) x 8" H (20.32 cm).'
- Weight verbatim on help/carry-on-bags: 'JetBlue does not currently have a weight restriction for carry-on bags. Please make sure items can be lifted into the overhead bin if assistance is not available and the item does not fit beneath the seat.' FAA extras verbatim: 'In addition to one carry-on bag and one personal item, FAA/TSA regulations allow the following items, which do not count towards the carry-on limit: Assistive devices, Duty-free items in a reasonable and limited amount, One diaper bag for lap infants, Special items (coat, umbrella, infant car seat, etc.)'.
- Groups verbatim on baggage-information page: 'All group travelers may board with one carry-on bag and one personal item (purse, small backpack, briefcase, laptop, etc.). Carry-on bags may be stowed in the overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you, while personal items must be placed beneath the seat in front of you. Please review your specific JetBlue Groups contract or check with your group leader for details relating to your checked bag allowances.' — carry-on allowance for groups matches individual allowance.
- Main Base fare explicitly includes carry-on per FAQ verbatim on baggage-information page: 'Can I bring a carry-on bag with a Main Base fare? Yes, Main Base fares include a carry-on bag that fits in the overhead bin (space permitting), along with a personal item that fits under the seat in front of you.' and 'if you're traveling with a pet on a Main Base fare, you will be permitted to bring a carry-on bag and your approved pet carrier counts as your personal item.'
- Carry-on is free allowance only; overweight/oversized carry-on is not a price category — gate-checked carry-on that exceeds sizer is subject to checked-bag fees (implied by FAA/TSA enforcement note: 'Keep in mind that TSA regulations and enforcement may change without notice.').

Blue Plus includes 1 free checked bag. Mint includes 2 free checked bags. On transatlantic flights, Blue and Blue Extra also include 1 free checked bag.

Is it cheaper to buy bags online vs. at the airport?
