JetBlue will not carry persons who require medical oxygen onboard. Due to safety reasons, we do not permit any type of oxygen to be brought on the aircraft nor do we supply medical oxygen onboard.

Refrigerators are not available for storage; however, you may carry on a small insulated cooler that meets the carry-on requirements.

There is no limit to the amount of assistive devices you can bring onboard the aircraft. Assistive devices will not be considered as part of the carry-on or checked baggage limit; however, they are subject to carry-on size and weight restrictions.

Assistive devices include (but are not limited to):

JetBlue will accept assistive devices with batteries as checked baggage as well as onboard the cabin. Assistive devices with batteries include respirators, CPAP machines, portable oxygen concentrators and ventilators. JetBlue will allow qualified individuals with a disability who are using personal respirators/ventilators to bring their equipment, including non-spillable batteries onboard the aircraft.

Batteries used for assistive devices are required to be non-spillable and the outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY.” If a battery is not labeled non-spillable, crewmembers must treat the battery as a spillable battery. Crewmembers will apply the acceptance procedures for spillable batteries as required under the FAA safety regulations.

If powered by a nonspillable battery, the following items may be used during the flight for health or medical reasons.

• Hearing aids

Due to the possiblity of a fire, all batteries for electronic devices should be packed in its original retail package and wrapped in insulating tape to prevent loose batteries from coming into contact with metal objects.

Please note: Lithium batteries should be packed in carry-on, not checked, baggage to protect the battery from getting crushed or punctured during the flight.

OPDs are assistive devices are used by Customers with disabilities in order to support themselves in such a way that the aircraft's seatbelt can be used as an effective and primary method of restraint. The use of this type of OPD is appropriate and permitted on aircraft and is not prohibited by current regulations.

OPDs are devices or supportive braces that are designed and used to help support and position a person who has:

• Significant postural asymmetries of the pelvis, trunk, and or hips that lack flexibility
• Significant hyper or hypotonia, plasticity, or mixed athetoid dysfunctions
• Absent or impaired sensation in an area of contact with a seating surface
• Past history of, or current pressure ulcer, on an area of contact with a seating surface

OPD Usage Requirements:

• The OPD must be equipped with internal restraints to position a person in the device to provide that person security and support.
• The OPD must not attach to the seat, but must be properly positioned in order to use the existing aircraft seatbelt as the primary restraint device.
• The aircraft seatbelt must secure around the person using the OPD and provide the primary method of restraint.
• An OPD may be used in any seat except an exit row, provided it does not block any Customer's exit from the aircraft.
• The OPD is not intended to be identified, sold or used as a child restraint system.

There must be a medical need for the Customer to use the OPD. This can come from observation of the Customer or credible verbal assurance from them or their attendant.

Please note: we do not have OPDs available at the airport.

An oxygen concentrator is a machine that takes normal room air and, using a series of sieves, filters, and a compressor, removes nitrogen from the air, increasing the oxygen content of the resulting air to up to 96%.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) are allowed in checked baggage and should be packed to prevent damage, due to their fragile nature -the requirements below are only if the POC is to be used onboard. 

Note: An oxygen concentrator is not to be confused with compressed oxygen which is prohibited on any JetBlue aircraft.

Specific models of oxygen concentrators are approved for onboard use as long as the customer meets the following requirements:
