Frequently asked questions
What size is a JetBlue personal item?
JetBlue gives the personal item maximum as 17 x 13 x 8 in / 43.2 x 33 x 20.3 cm on its own baggage page. Must fit under the seat in front of you. Measure the bag packed, because a soft backpack that fits empty can bulge past the depth limit once it is full.
Can a backpack be a personal item on JetBlue?
Yes, as long as it measures within 17 x 13 x 8 in / 43.2 x 33 x 20.3 cm when packed and fits under the seat in front of you. Look for listings that state an 18 x 14 x 8 inch or smaller size, though on JetBlue even that is too big, so aim for the exact figure above. Straps and bottle pockets count toward the size if they stick out.
What is the difference between a personal item and a carry-on on JetBlue?
The carry-on goes in the overhead bin and is limited to 22 x 14 x 9 in / 55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm; the personal item goes under the seat and is limited to 17 x 13 x 8 in / 43.2 x 33 x 20.3 cm. Most fares allow one of each.
Researched, not professional advice. Limits change and can vary by route and fare; the airline's own page is the final word.
