How Much Baggage Are You Allowed To Bring After jetBlue Airlines Reservations?

Flyers do have the need to carry some baggage alongwith on the flights. The airlines also recognize this need. The price of air tickets which the airline charges from the airline does include some kind of free baggage allowances, and jetBlue airlines is no different in this respect. It is a matter of fact that some decades back the airlines had free allowance for both the cabin and the check-in baggage. 

This was true globally barring a few exceptions. However, of late, as aviation sector has become more competitive and especially after the arrival of low cost carriers on the horizon, the check-in baggage free allowances have become redundant. Most of the US carriers now do not provide free check in baggage allowances. Jetblue baggage allowance is also not free.

For the people who have completed the jetblue reservations, the free allowance is limited only to cabin baggage nowadays. There are charges for taking even a single check-in bag alongwith. Let us examine its policies for both the cabin and the check-in baggage.

Cabin Baggage Allowance

As is the case with other airlines, jetBlue allows one cabin bag and one personal item free of cost. 22" L (55.88 cm) x 14" W (35.56 cm) x 9" H (22.86 cm) are the three dimensions of the cabin bag which is allowed. The personal items can be a purse, small backpack, laptop or briefcase. There could be some other personal items which are allowed free. This needs to be checked with the customer support team well before you have to fly and preferably at the time of booking airtickets.

Check in Baggage Allowance

The check-in baggage allowance is directly dependent on the frequent flyer status of the member. Blue members have to pay $30 and $40 for 1^st and 2^nd check-in bag respectively. Blue Plus members are allowed 1^st bag free of cost whereas the second is charged $40. For Blue Flex, Mint and Mosaic Members the allowance is free for 2 check in bags.

Please note that the size of bag is considered in linear dimensions, which is the sum of length, breadth and height. The linear size shall not be more than 158 cm and the weight of each bag shall not be more than 23 kg.

However, weight more than 23 kg but less than 45 kg is allowed but there are excess baggage charges for being overweight.

Similarly, size of more than 158 cm but less than 203 cm linear dimensions is also not allowed free. There are excess charges to be paid for this oversized baggage.
