JetBlue has reduced their carry-on baggage allowance for Blue Basic fares to only a single small "personal item" that must fit under the seat in front of you. This means that if you will not be able to place the item into the overhead bin.
The small personal item must not exceed 17" L (43.2 cm) x 13" W (33 cm) x 8" H (20.32 cm), including wheels/handles. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']
In addition to the small personal item, Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra and Mint fares may also bring a standard carry-on item, limited in size to 22" L (55.88 cm) x 14" W (35.56 cm) x 9" H (22.86 cm), including wheels/handles, that may go into the overhead bin.
Be sure to note that if you have a Blue Basic fare, you WILL NOT be allowed a larger carry-on item that would go into the overhead bin - if you bring a carry-on item (other than your small personal item) to the gate, it will be gate-checked for a fee of $65 (if it would be your 1st or 2nd checked bag) or $180 (if it’s your 3rd).
JetBlue no longer operates with its policy "First Bag is Always Free". JetBlue now charges for all checked bags, including the first checked bag, on its lowest priced fares.
Please note the increased baggage fees for 2023, as outlined below. JetBlue's 1st Bag Fee remains the same, but the price of a 2nd bag has jumped up from $45 to $60. There is a $5 discount for your first bag if adding it online ($10 off for the 2nd bag if adding online) more than 24 hours before your flight, otherwise you will be charged the fees below when paying at the airport or less than 24 hours before departure.
