Adding Bags and Paying Fees
Adding bags to your reservation
Bags can be added to your reservation from our website by using the Manage Trips option on jetblue.com. Just go to your Extras and you can add a bag and pay any applicable fees at any time leading up to your departure.
You can also contact us if you need assistance with adding bags to your reservation.
You can indicate how many bags you're bringing and pay the applicable fees during the check-in process within 24 hours of your flight's departure.
For your convenience, we recommend checking in online or at one of our airport kiosks. During the check-in timeframe, there is no difference in fees whether adding your bags online, at a kiosk or at the check-in counter.
If you check in online, drop your bags at the bag drop location when you arrive at the airport. A crewmember will scan your boarding document to confirm your payment, verify the bag count and weight, and print your bag tag(s).
Overweight and oversized baggage fees may apply.
Adding checked bags
Add your first or second bag during booking or anytime before the check-in window opens. If you would like to check a third bag (or more), it must be checked at the airport. If you would like to check multiple bags, follow this guide:
- Check your first bag: Online during booking or at airport kiosk during check in.
- Check your second bag: Only available through the Manage Trips tool or at the airport kiosk.
- Check your third and any additional bags: At airport only. Please check in at ticket counter.
- Checked bags can’t be removed from a reservation.
- Checked bag fees are only refundable if your entire booking is cancelled prior to scheduled departure.
Paying for checked bags
Customers may purchase up to two pre-paid checked bags per person (see fare options to confirm). If you would like to check a third bag, it must be checked at the airport.
- Pay for first bag: Online or at airport kiosk during check in.
- Pay for second bag: Only available through the Manage Trips tool.
- Pay for third bag: At airport only. Please check in at ticket counter.
Overweight bags must be weighed and paid for at the airport ticket counter. Allow for extra time at the airport for check-in.
