Rules to know

  • A carry-on bag is not included in the base fare. You pay to add one, and it costs most at the gate.
  • Gate staff use a bag sizer and enforce the limit. Bags that do not fit are charged at the gate.

A standard 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) bag is larger than the JetSMART carry-on limit.
