JetBlue Airlines has a reputation for excellent services and lenient policies. Often passengers feel uncomfortable traveling with JetBlue with their pet, without knowing the JetBlue Airlines pet policy. Here we will be discussing all of that policy in detail, so let's begin without wasting any more time.

Does Jetblue Airlines Allow Pets In Cabins?

Absolutely Yes, Jetblue Airlines does allow pets in their cabin.

As you are aware that your pets can not travel on their own, especially on a plane. So if you wish to travel with your pets you must book a pet reservation online or via phone and either carry them with you or get someone to accompany them.

Just because the cabin does not look like an animal farm, JetBlue Airlines allows only 4 pets to travel in-cabin or on any of their flights. So considering this, make your booking via the airline. Usually, the booking of pets is on a first-come, first-served basis, so making booking arrangements early will ensure your pet is traveling on the same plane with you. Keep note that the fourth, the last pet should be booked only at the counter and within 24 hours of departure.

What are the conditions for Travelling with Pets?

Pets are neither intelligent enough to travel alone nor a thing to be packed and stored in the luggage compartment, so airlines cracked a way in between both of these situations. So let's see what conditions you need to abide by to carry your pet on board-

  • If a pet is on board, the owner has to ensure it is carried in a carrier with enough space to breathe, but not let loose.
  • The JetBlue pet carrier must not exceed the dimensions of 17" X 12.5" X 8.5" or 43.18cm X 31.75cm X 21.59cm (Length X Width X Height respectively.)
  • The carrier is sought to be properly ventilated and should be fully waterproof. 
  • There must be only one pet in each carrier, nothing more than that.
  • If you don’t have a carrier, don’t worry, the airports have spare carriers which can be purchased for $55 at the counter while booking or Checking In.
  • To make sure the pet carrier travels on JetBlue Airlines, it must be FAA-approved.
  • You are not allowed to carry a newly born pet onboard, it must be at least 8 months old to be able to fly domestically on JetBlue airlines.


Allowed pets in the cabin

Although people have a passion for various kinds of pets, you must abide by the rules as many of the so-called-pets can cause chaos on the plane, so these are the only pets allowed on board JetBlue Airlines-

  • Small Cats and Dogs.
  • Service Dogs
  • Emotional Support Animals.


Jetblue Pet Fees

Well, making arrangements for your little friend requires time and effort, which is why the airlines cost you a small fee of $125 for a single-way trip. To make your travel with your pet convenient, the airlines make sure that the pet reaches the destination safe and sound. If you are a TrueBlue member, each JetBlue pet fee paid for traveling a pet on a single-way trip earns you 300 TrueBlue points. 

Pets in Checked Baggage

As already mentioned, pets are not lifeless things, so treating them like baggage will be very inhumane. The airline does not promote any such behavior on their flights, so unfortunately, you can not carry your pets as checked baggage on any Jetblue flight. For getting more information about this you can read about JetBlue Baggage Policy.

Emotional Support Animals

Animals or pets that are trained for services can travel on any JetBlue flight and also on every route where pets are not allowed except to/from Jamaica. JetBlue emotional support animals policy states that for every domestic, international route service animals have been granted to fly absolutely free of cost. 

Although here’s the catch, you will have to have these documents ready to be verified-

  • The U.S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Air Transportation Form
  • Provide active/retired Government issued ID cards.


The Form has to be submitted to Jetblue 48 hours prior to the departure. The passenger must accompany the service animal all the time while traveling. 

If you are planning to travel to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and international destinations with JetBlue service animals, you will have to carry additional documentation required for a smooth transition.
