JetBlue Permanently Restores Free Carry-On Bag for Blue Basic Fares

Announced: 25 Jan 2026Effective: 1 Feb 2026

JetBlue now permits all Blue Basic passengers to bring one full-sized overhead carry-on bag in addition to a personal item, removing gate check penalty fees.

What this means for your trip

You can book JetBlue's cheapest Blue Basic fare without worrying about paying $65 at the gate for an overhead roller bag. This puts JetBlue ahead of United and American on Basic Economy baggage flexibility.
