What to know about JetBlue carry-on rules
- From JFK, BOS and FLL, JetBlue mainly connects United States with Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and United Kingdom.
- Among the 8 verified airlines from North America, JetBlue has the 4th largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is American Airlines (22×14×9 in).
- In volume terms the JetBlue cabin bag reaches about 45.4 L; 47 of the 60 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
- With a total size of 114.3 cm (45 in), the JetBlue cabin bag is larger than 5% of the 66 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 58 of 66, largest first).
- The average cabin bag of the 8 verified carriers from North America adds up to 116.8 cm (46 in); JetBlue's limit is 2.5 cm (1 in) less than that.
- A standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits exactly at the limit on the length when measured against JetBlue's 22×14×9 in.
- On JetBlue, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 4.4 cm (1.7 in) too big on the width (limit: 22×14×9 in).
- JetBlue publishes no weight limit for the cabin bag on all fares; its official rules give only the 22×14×9 in size.
- JetBlue's official text counts wheels and handles in the 22×14×9 in cabin bag limit.
JetBlue personal item: what fits under the seat
- JetBlue's fare also includes a cabin bag, so the personal item comes on top of it.
- Filled as a box, JetBlue's 17×13×8 in personal item holds about 29 litres, above the median of 18 L across the 56 airlines that publish three personal item sides.
- Against the 8 airlines from North America that publish a personal item size (average 95.1 cm in total), JetBlue allows 96.5 cm, more than 57% of them.
- By volume, the 17×13×8 in personal item on JetBlue is 64% of the 22×14×9 in cabin bag: about 29 L against 45.4 L.
- A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag fits, but with only 0.3 cm (0.1 in) to spare on the depth against JetBlue's 17×13×8 in personal item limit.
- With 96.5 cm in total, the JetBlue personal item is bigger than 49 and smaller than 7 of the 57 verified airlines that publish a personal item size.
- Other personal item limits at the same airport: American Airlines at JFK (18×14×8 in), against 17×13×8 in on JetBlue.
