Main Base still has the carry-on
JetBlue’s lowest fare, Main Base, includes a carry-on for the overhead bin, space permitting, and a personal item for under the seat. None of the Main fares (Main Base, Main or Main Flex) includes a checked bag within the U.S.; the BlueFirst and Mint fares do.
- JetBlue sets no carry-on weight limit, but asks that you can lift the bag into the bin if nobody is free to help.
- There are no closets for hanging garment bags on JetBlue planes, so a garment bag has to fold into the bin.
- A pet carrier counts as your personal item, and travelers who add a pet can still bring a carry-on.
Checked bags: peak dates cost more
On Main Base, Main and Main Flex, every checked bag within the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada costs a fee. It’s higher on peak dates, which take in Thanksgiving, the winter holidays and the busy spring and summer weeks; JetBlue lists them on its checked bags page.
Adding a bag at least 24 hours before departure costs less than adding it later. You can add up to two bags when you book. A third can only be bought at the airport.
Overweight and oversize
- Overweight: 51 to 99 lb (23.13 to 44.91 kg) costs an overweight fee per bag.
- Oversize: 63 to 80 in (160 to 203.3 cm) costs an oversize fee per bag.
- Not accepted: over 80 in (203.3 cm) or 99 lb (44.91 kg).
On transatlantic flights, Main, Main Flex, EvenMore and EvenMore Flex fares include the first checked bag. Main Base doesn’t.
