JetBlue has a carry on luggage policy that must be followed. Each passenger is allowed to carry on one personal item, as well as one bag that fits in the overhead bin. A personal item can include a laptop computer bag, briefcase, purse, etc.
To ensure that you do not run into any problems at the gate, you will want to be aware of the size restrictions on carry on items. Generally speaking, carry on baggage should fit in the overhead bin. Your personal item should be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you.
Your personal item may not be larger than 18 inches length x 15 width x 8 height. Once again, this size restraint is in place to ensure that the item will under the seat.
To fit in the overhead bin your carry on must not be larger than 26 inches length x 18 width x 12 height when flying on a Jet Blue Airbus A320. When flying on their EMBRAER 190, the size restrictions are 24 inches length x 16 inches width x 10 niches height.
Of course, you should also be aware of the FAA laws which govern the items that you are allowed to carry through security within your carry on luggage.

If you are flying Jet Blue, you need to be aware of their baggage policies; including those for heavy baggage. While you may never have to deal with this, if you are carrying a bag that is a bit heavier than normal there is a good chance that you will be charged an extra fee.
Bags that are 50 pounds or less will not be charged an overweight bag fee. For bags between 51 and 70 pounds, a fee of $50 per bag will be added. If your bag weighs between 71 and 99 pounds, the fee doubles to $100. Unfortunately, Jet Blue does not allow bags over 99 pounds to be checked.
It is important to also know that Jet Blue charges fees for oversized bags. For example, if your bag is both oversized and overweight, you will have to pay the fee for both.
You should also be aware that Jet Blue does not allow for overweight baggage on flights to and from the Dominican Republic.
Before you head to the airport, try to determine whether or not your bags are overweight. If so, you can either attempt to remove some items or be prepared to pay up to $100.

Just like most airlines, Jet Blue has recently updated their luggage policy. If you are going to be flying as a Jet Blue passenger in the near future, you will want to be aware of the current luggage policy as well as any changes that are scheduled for the future.
Jet Blue allows each passenger to check one bag for free. While this may change, for the time being it is one of the better policies in the airline industry. That being said, if you need to check an additional bag you should be ready to pay a $20 fee. For three or more bags, each one is accompanied by a fee of $75.
Overweight and oversized baggage will be assessed an additional fee. Overweight bags weighing between 51 and 70 pounds are assessed a $50 fee. Those that are 71 to 99 pounds are charged $100. Anything over 99 pounds is not permitted to be checked.
Any bag between 63 and 80 inches will be charged a fee of $75. At this time, Jet Blue does not accept bags larger than 80 inches.
Jet Blue does allow each passenger to check one bag for free, but after that they begin to tack on a $20 fee or more. As noted above, you may also incur fees for overweight or oversized baggage. For the time being, expect Jet Blue to keep these policies in place.

Do you want to catch a nap on the plane? It will cost you!
It was announced on Monday that JetBlue Airways customers will now be charged for pillows and blankets. The company will offer an eco-friendly travel blanket and pillow for $7 on flights two hours or longer.
The blanket and pillow sets are just another of JetBlue’s recently charges to try to offset the rising cost of jet fuel. Customers can also purchase seats with extra leg room, which are expect to generate $50 million to the carrier in 2008. Additionally, there is a $15 fee for a second checked bag, translating into $20 million in revenue, plus a $100 ticket change fee, which should produce another $50 million in revenue this year.
Who knows how long the nickel and diming of airline customers will continue. But as long as fuel prices continue to rise airlines will try to find ways to recoup some of their costs. People are already cutting back on air travel. If prices continue to skyrocket, eventually many vacationers may turn away from air travel altogether, choosing to stay closer to home instead.
One plus is that JetBlue says the blanket and pillow kit will also come with a $5 coupon to Bed Bath & Beyond.
