JetBlue will have a significant change to its carry-on baggage policy for passengers traveling on the Blue Basic fare.
Beginning Sept. 6, 2024, passengers who choose the fare will be able to carry on one carry-on bag at no additional cost, the airline confirmed in response to recent inquiries.
The news comes after concerns from many travelers about possible carry-on baggage restrictions.
JetBlue clarified that, although the new policy will take effect in September, the current restrictions will remain in place until that date.
It means that, for flights scheduled before September 6, 2024, passengers on Blue Basic fares will not be able to carry on a carry-on bag. If they attempt to do so, they will be charged a fee and the bag will have to be checked at the gate.
With the upgrade, JetBlue seeks to offer greater flexibility to its passengers, accommodating the needs of those who opt for lower fares without sacrificing the convenience of carrying a carry-on bag.
