What should JetBlue carry-on dimensions be?

JetBlue allows one carry-on bag with maximum dimensions of 22 x 14 x 9 inches (including wheels and handles). This size ensures the bag fits in the overhead bin. Additionally, passengers may bring one personal item, such as a purse or laptop bag, that fits under the seat.
 
For most JetBlue fares, passengers can bring a carry-on bag up to 22 x 14 x 9 inches and a personal item measuring 17 x 13 x 8 inches. However, Blue Basic fares only permit a personal item; carry-on bags are not included unless purchased separately.
 
JetBlue does not impose a weight limit on carry-on bags, but passengers must be able to lift their bag into the overhead bin unassisted. Ensure your carry-on does not exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches to comply with size regulations.
 
Your personal item should fit under the seat in front of you and not exceed 17 x 13 x 8 inches. Common personal items include backpacks, briefcases, or handbags. This is in addition to the standard carry-on allowance.
 
To ensure your carry-on fits in the overhead compartment, adhere to the 22 x 14 x 9 inches size limit. Bags exceeding these dimensions may need to be checked at the gate, potentially incurring additional fees
 
JetBlue permits one carry-on bag (max 22 x 14 x 9 inches) and one personal item (max 17 x 13 x 8 inches) per passenger. Note that Blue Basic fares exclude the carry-on bag unless added for a fee. Always check your fare details before packing.
 
I learned about JetBlue’s carry-on dimensions the hard way when I packed a slightly oversized roller for a trip to Fort Lauderdale. At the gate, the agent asked me to test it in the sizer, and while it barely squeezed in, I was lucky they let it slide. Officially, JetBlue’s carry-on should be no bigger than 22” x 14” x 9” to fit in the overhead bin, plus one personal item under the seat. Now I always double-check my bag measurements at home before heading to the airport. On one occasion, I wasn’t sure if my backpack counted as a personal item, so I called 844-734-0813 to confirm. The rep explained everything clearly and even helped me adjust my booking. Honestly, that number is the quickest way to instantly book, cancel, or modify a JetBlue flight — and to avoid surprises with bag rules.
