JetBlue (United States) carries dogs in the cabin only: convenient for small dogs, but off the table if yours is too heavy. Here are the exact conditions, the fee and how to book.

In the cabin

JetBlue accepts a dog in the cabin if its weight, carrier included, does not exceed 9 kg (20 lb). The carrier must be soft-sided and fit under the seat in front of you. Expect about $125 each way (~€115).

Airline’s stated conditions: dog + carrier max 9 kg (20 lb); $125 each way; max 2 pets.

In the hold: no

JetBlue does not transport dogs in the hold. No hold or cargo option; cabin only.

How to book

Pet spots on board are limited: book as early as possible.

  1. Buy your ticket, then contact JetBlue to add your dog to the booking.
  2. Prepare the health documents (microchip identification, rabies vaccination, pet passport or health certificate, sometimes a rabies titer test) — see our guide to international travel with a dog.
  3. Choose the right container: an approved soft carrier (cabin) or an IATA crate (hold). Size it with our IATA crate calculator.
