Alcohol Guidelines
Federal regulations
Always check the TSA website for the most current regulations.
You are allowed to bring one quart-sized bag of liquids or gels through the security checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that must be 3.4 ounces or less per item. With the exception of medications, any amount of liquid greater than 3.4 ounces, including alcohol, must be packed in your checked bags.
Alcoholic beverages being carried on board in containers greater than 3.4 ounces must be purchased in the secure boarding area (after going through the security checkpoint). However, JetBlue will not be liable for damage, loss or spoilage of these items.
You may bring wine, champagne or beer on a flight as long as it is in an unopened container. You are not allowed to consume your own alcohol while on board.
