Jet Blue baggage policy (2)

JetBlue offers affordable fares through what can be described as an a la carte model. While some airlines allow free carry-on or checked bags, Jet Blue's base fares give you the option of adding these perks for an additional fee.

Each passenger can bring one personal item on board for free; These are small bags or backpacks that can easily be placed under the front seat. If you are not a Blue, Blue Plus, Blue Extra or Moses member of the airline, fees will apply to bringing any other baggage.

Jet Blue differs from other airlines in that Blue Basic passengers bringing carry-on luggage to the gate will have to check their luggage and pay a checked baggage fee. These fees are $65 per bag for the first two bags and $180 for the third bag, unless you have booked this service in advance.

Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule.
