JetBlue Carry-On Rules for All Fares (2026)
JetBlue includes one 22×14×9 in carry-on and one 17×13×8 in personal item on all current fares, with no published cabin weight cap.
JetBlue's current published rule is simple: one carry-on plus one personal item on all fares. Older guides that say Blue Basic passengers may bring only a personal item are out of date. JetBlue announced a free carry-on for Blue Basic travel beginning 6 September 2024.
| Item | Maximum size | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Carry-on | 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.88 × 35.56 × 22.86 cm) | Overhead bin, subject to available space |
| Personal item | 17 × 13 × 8 in (43.2 × 33 × 20.32 cm) | Under the seat |
The overhead measurement includes wheels and handles. JetBlue does not currently publish a weight restriction for carry-on bags, but says the passenger must be able to lift the bag into the bin if assistance is not available. A pet carrier counts toward the personal-item allowance under the airline's terms.
Allowances across fares
JetBlue's current carry-on help page explicitly says all fares include both items. Fare names and checked-bag inclusions can differ by booking date and itinerary; check your reservation for those separate benefits. A carry-on being included does not guarantee overhead bin space on every flight. The airline's contract allows further restrictions when cabin conditions require them.
