Pet Policy Overview
JetBlue allows cats in the cabin on domestic US flights and select Caribbean and Latin American routes. The airline stands out for its generous 20-pound (9 kg) cabin weight limit — higher than most competitors — and reasonable $125 flat fee. JetBlue does not offer any cargo or checked baggage pet service. The airline's network covers the US East Coast extensively, plus routes to the Caribbean, Central America, and London (though UK flights require cargo-only pet import).

Pro Tip
JetBlue requires advance booking for cabin pets — add your pet during the booking process online or call customer service. Only one pet per customer and one animal per carrier. JetBlue allows both hard-sided and soft-sided carriers with different size allowances. The 20-lb weight limit gives you more room than the typical 8 kg EU standard, which is helpful for larger domestic shorthairs or the carrier weight. JetBlue's extra legroom seats (Even More Space) are permitted for pet passengers, which helps with carrier space.
Restrictions
No cargo or checked baggage options. US domestic and select international routes only. One pet per passenger, one animal per carrier. Pets must remain in the carrier for the entire flight. Not available on transatlantic routes to London Gatwick (UK requires cargo import). Cats must be at least 8 weeks old.
