One of the airlines which is known to have a good fee structure is JetBlue Airlines. The airline provides elite class services and a seamless flying experience. The reasonable flying experience makes things even better! So if you are thinking of flying with JetBlue Airlines, then you might want to pay attention to its fee structure.

In this article, we will be discussing the fee structure of JetBlue airlines. This article will consist of the topics like JetBlue cancellation fee, JetBlue baggage fee, JetBlue pet travel fee etc.

So without any further ado, let’s start getting acquainted with the JetBlue fee structure.

JetBlue Airlines baggage fees

The JetBlue baggage fee consists of two types of fee, one is the checked baggage fee and the other one is the carry-on baggage fee. Before the travellers go ahead with their travel plans, it is important for them to properly know the baggage fee of the airline they are travelling with, so that they can pack accordingly. Let us know about the carry-on baggage fee and checked baggage fee one by one in detail.

JetBlue carry-on baggage fee

	TrueBlue or guest	Mosaic member	JetBlue Plus/Business Cardmember
Blue Basic	Not allowed, except on flights to/from London. See other exceptions below.⁴	1	0⁴ (not allowed)
Blue	1	1	1
Blue Plus	1	1	1
Blue Extra	1	1	1
Mint	1	1	1

JetBlue Airlines allows passengers to bring one personal item and one carry-on item without having to pay any charges for them. But there are certain conditions for the personal item. The size of the personal item must not be more than 17 by 13 by 8 inches and must be able to fit comfortably underneath the seat in front of you. On the other hand, the size of the carry-on bag must not be more than 22 by 14 by 9 inches. Blue Basic is the only fare class which does not allow free carry-on bags. Passengers of the Blue Basic fare can only bring one personal item which only fits underneath the seat. If the travellers need overhead bin space, then they will have to pay extra for that or they will have to pay to upgrade to Blue or Blue Extra.

JetBlue checked baggage fee

	TrueBlue or guest	Mosaic member	JetBlue Plus/Business Cardmember
Blue Basic	0	2	1
Blue	0  (1 on flights to/from London)	2	1
Blue Plus	1	2	1
Blue Extra	0  (1 on flights to/from London)	2	1
Mint	2	2	2

In the case of checked baggage, the fee depends on various factors like the type of fare you choose, whether you have prepaid for your baggage through an app or during the booking or whether you are going to pay at the airport. If you have made a reservation under Blue Basic, Blue and Blue Extra fare, then for the first bag, you will have to pay a fee of $35 and for the second bag $45, if you pay at the airport or within 24 hours of the departure. Here you need to note that if you pay in advance then you will get $5 off. In case you want to carry a third bag as well, then for that you will have to pay a fee of $150. You also need to be mindful of the size and weight of the checked baggage. The size of the checked baggage must not be more than 62 inches and the weight of the checked baggage must not exceed 50 pounds.

There are some exceptions however. There are certain people who get to avoid the JetBlue baggage fee. Those exceptions are as follows:

1. Mint passengers and Mosaic members are allowed to check up to two bags for free.
2. Travellers who paid for their flight with a JetBlue Plus Card get their first checked bag free, along with three people on the same reservation.
3. Passengers who have a Blue Plus fare get one free checked bag.

To summarise everything and for your clarity, the following points have been mentioned:

1. In case of Blue Basic fares, the charges for the first checked baggage are $35 and for the second checked bag are $45.
2. In the case of the Blue fare, the charges for the first checked baggage are $35 and for the second checked bag are $45.
3. In case of the Blue Plus fare, the charges for the first checked baggage are included and for the second checked bag are $45.
4. In the case of the Blue Extra fare, the charges for the first checked baggage are $35 and for the second checked bag are $45.
5. In case of Mint Fare, the charges for both, the first checked bag as well as the second checked bag are included.
6. In case of Mosaic Fare, the charges for both, the first checked bag as well as the second checked bag are included.
7. In case of the JetBlue Plus cardmembers, the charges for the first checked baggage are included and for the second checked bag are $45.
8. Overweight and oversize fees

While travelling with JetBlue Airlines, you need to take care of the weight and size of your baggage. If your baggage exceeds the weight and size limit, then you will have to pay the fees. If your baggage weighs between 51 and 99 pounds or measures 63 to 80 inches in overall dimensions, then you will be liable to pay an excess fee. If your baggage is either overweight or oversized then the excess fee you will have to pay will be $150 per bag. In case your bag is both overweight and oversized then both the fees will be applicable.

There are not any exceptions for overweight and baggage fees. In case of certain sports equipment like skis, golf bags etc., the restriction of size will not be considered if they are within the weight limits.

In February, 2021, JetBlue made an announcement that most of the customers can cancel or change their flight without having to pay any additional fee. JetBlue
eliminated change and cancellation fees on Blue, Blue Extra, Blue Plus and Mint fares. For the customers who booked themselves in Blue Basic, which is the lowest fare class of JetBlue, tickets can be changed or cancelled by paying a fee.

Here we would like to mention that if you are changing your flight, and the flight you book costs more than the previous one, then you will have to pay the difference.

In some exceptional cases, people get to avoid the change and cancellation fee. Those exceptional cases are as follows:

1. Mosaic members and anyone on the same reservation as a Mosaic member can have the benefit of waived change and cancellation fees. Blue Basic fares are not included.
2. Anyone who has made a travel booking at least seven days in advance of departure and cancels the reservation within 24 hours of booking. This is known as the Jetblue 24 hours cancellation policy.
3. Any traveller who has booked a refundable fare and cancels their flight reservation before the scheduled departure of the flight.

JetBlue Partner Award Booking Fee

JetBlue allows award bookings only on Hawaiian Airlines. The charges for point bookings are $25 per person. There is an exception under which the travellers get to avoid this fee. If you have a very convincing case that you are not able to book the award travel online, then you might be able to get the fee waived.

JetBlue standby and same-day change fees

	TrueBlue or guest	Mosaic member	JetBlue Plus/Business Cardmember

Blue	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee
Blue Plus	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee
Blue Extra	Included	Included	Included
Mint	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee

If you are looking to get a different flight on the same day as your original booking, then you can prefer to stand by. According to what JetBlue says, seat availability is not guaranteed but if you have already bought a ticket, then you can request it to be added to the standby list for any sold out flight on the same day as your original flight. If you want to join the list, then you will have to pay a fee of $75.

In case you have booked a Mint flight and there is another Mint flight available on the same day of travel that has Mint seat availability, then a $75 same-day change fee will also be charged.

	TrueBlue or guest	Mosaic member	JetBlue Plus/Business Cardmember
Blue Basic	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee
Blue	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee
Blue Plus	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee
Blue Extra	Included	Included	Included
Mint	$75 fee	Fee waived	$75 fee

Any person who is not able to get a confirmed seat on their chosen stand-by flight will not have to pay the fee.

JetBlue Call Center Service Charge

There are various mediums to book flights on JetBlue. One of the methods to book the flight is the calling method. If you prefer to make a flight reservation by calling instead of making an online reservation then you will have to pay a fee of $25 per person on the reservation. This fee can be avoided under certain circumstances. Those circumstances have been listed below:

1. If a passenger makes the reservation online, then he will not have to pay the fee.
2. If a passenger is physically, mentally or emotionally unable to book online, then the fee will be waived. This also includes those people who have problems like hand tremors, anxiety, learning disability, physical effects of a stroke etc.
3. If you make a flight reservation for more than 7 people, then your fee will be waived.
4. The fee is also waived for children who are travelling with adults booked on a separate reservation.
5. The fee is also waived for customers paying with multiple forms of payment not available online.
6. There is no fee for the flight reservations which have been paid for with JetBlue travel certificates.
7. If you are booking a JetBlue Vacations package, then also you will not have to pay the fee.
8. If you get your reservation done at the airport, then also you will not have to pay the call service charge.
9. If you get your bookings done at the city ticket offices, then you will not have to pay the call service charge.
10. Call service charge is also waived for one-way bookings originating in Cuba.

JetBlue unaccompanied minor fee

If your kid is travelling all alone and falls in the age group of 5-13 years, then it is mandatory for them to participate in the Unaccompanied minors programme. Apart from the cost of the ticket, there is also a fee of $150 for every minor each way which can be either paid online as a part of the booking. Here we would also like to mention that unaccompanied minors can only travel on nonstop flights.
This fee can be avoided under some circumstances which are as follows:

1. Any kid falling in the age group of 2-13 years who is travelling with someone who is at least 14 years old, will not need the status of unaccompanied minor.
2. If a minor is travelling with an adult on another reservation, then you can call the airline to get the booking done, without having to pay the unaccompanied minor fee. In this case, the call centre fee will also not be charged from you.

JetBlue Pet Travel Fee

JetBlue allows travelling with your pet. But, the only pets allowed are cats and dogs. You cannot bring any other animal apart from these on board. To be able to make your pets travel by JetBlue, you will have to pay a fee of $125 for each direction of travel. Bookings for pets can be made online or by calling JetBlue.

The pet carrier must not weigh more than 20 pounds with the pet in it. The pet carrier will be counted as your carry-on bag. Under no circumstances can you avoid this fee. This fee will have to be paid.

This was all about the JetBlue fee structure. We hope that you are clear about topics like JetBlue Cancellation fee, JetBlue change fee etc. Bottom line is that, whenever you are planning to travel by air, you need to thoroughly go through all the policies and pay attention to the fee structure as well so that you can carry your stuff accordingly. You also need to pay attention to the circumstances in which the fee is waived. We have covered almost everything in this article but if there is still anything that is not clear to you then you can visit the official website of the airline for more exact details or you also have the option to call the customer support team of the airline and talk to them about the confusions you have to get everything sorted.
