Carry-On Dimensions: 9 x 14 x 22 inches
Personal Item Dimensions: 8 x 13 x 17 inches
A musical instrument is allowed in place of one carry-on item. “Basic Blue” fares do NOT include a free carry-on item. To carry on your instrument for free, purchase a Blue or higher fare ticket.
The standard carry-on baggage size limitations do NOT apply to musical instruments. The overhead bins can easily accommodate items up to 22″ x 14″ x 9″. Longer items, such as a guitar or tenor sax, may still fit in a bin with partial dividers. The aircraft do not have closets to stow musical instruments.
JetBlue is NOT required to give musical instruments priority over other carry-on baggage.
Damage to musical instruments will only be covered if the item is checked inside a hard-sided case designed to protect its contents, and only if permitted items are in the case. Any item checked inside a soft-sided container will be accepted, but not covered by liability.
Items exceeding 99 pounds will not be accepted as checked bags. You may be able to purchase a seat for large musical instruments that weigh up to 165 pounds.
Save $5 by adding checked bags to your ticket more than 24 hours before your flight.
