JetBlue Checked Bag Fee: What You Pay and How to Save

JetBlue checked bag fees depend on your fare and when you pay. See what is included, what it costs, and how to pay less before you fly.

Quick answer

JetBlue does not include a checked bag on most fares. Main, Main Flex, EvenMore and EvenMore Flex fares exclude checked bags, while Mint and Mint Flex include them. Each checked bag must weigh 50 pounds (22.68 kg) or less, and adding bags before check-in saves up to $10 per bag.

What Is Included With Your JetBlue Fare

Checked bags are included on Mint and Mint Flex. They are not included on Main Base, Main, Main Flex, EvenMore Base, EvenMore or EvenMore Flex, so you pay for each checked bag separately. Every fare includes a carry-on bag that fits in the overhead bin, space permitting, plus a personal item of 17 x 13 x 8 in (43.2 x 33 x 20.32 cm) such as a purse, daypack, laptop bag or approved pet carrier. The carry-on must measure no more than 22 x 14 x 9 in (55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm).

Checked Bag Weight and Overweight Charges

Each checked bag can weigh up to 50 pounds (22.68 kg). If a bag is heavier, the overweight fee is $150, £120 or €140 per bag. Keep the weight in mind when packing, because the fee applies per bag and adds up quickly on a family trip.

How to Pay Less for Checked Bags

Add your first 2 checked bags before check-in, at least 24 hours before departure, and you save up to $10 on each bag. You can pay with TrueBlue points any time before check-in in Manage Trips on jetblue.com or in My Trips on the JetBlue app. A third or further checked bag can only be added during check-in or at the airport. Checked bag fees are only refundable if the whole booking is cancelled before scheduled departure. Once you land, an eSIM keeps your data working without hunting for a local SIM.
