How travelling with a pet on JetBlue generally works
General guidance. Pet travel has strict, route-specific rules — always confirm the details for your exact trip.
JetBlue is known for its in-cabin pet program for small cats and dogs that fit in an approved carrier under the seat. Rules on size, routes and destinations apply, so confirm your specific trip.
Pet spaces per flight are limited and can't be added last-minute. Arrange it as early as possible — well before you get to the airport.
Your carrier must meet size, ventilation and security rules and your pet must fit and turn comfortably inside. The wrong carrier can mean being turned away.
Destinations often require vaccination records, health certificates and sometimes import permits. These take time to obtain, so start early.
Trained service animals follow separate rules from pets. Tell us your situation and we'll route it correctly.
Pet fees, accepted animals, carrier limits and country entry rules vary widely by route and change often — we never guess them. Call us with your trip and pet details and we'll confirm what's possible and book the space.
