We transport all types of personal wheelchairs including folding, collapsible or non-folding manual wheelchairs, battery-powered wheelchairs and scooters, and other assistive devices. JetBlue will accept battery-powered wheelchairs (unless it is a folding model) and mobility aids as checked baggage only. Battery-powered wheelchair batteries are not permitted in the cabin.

JetBlue Airways accepts both spillable and non-spillable batteries in wheelchairs and mobility aids. However, respirators and ventilators are required to have non-spillable batteries only. Batteries used for assistive devices require labeling: the outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY” or "SPILLABLE BATTERY" so that crewmembers can exercise proper handling procedures for the different battery types.

In addition to collapsible assistive devices which can safely fit in an overhead compartment or under a customer's seat, one folding, collapsible or break-down wheelchair per flight may be stowed onboard the cabin. This is determined on a first-come, first-served basis at time of check in.

Alternatively, JetBlue will accept such items as checked baggage at the ticket counter and/or gate. Checking and returning of personal wheelchairs at the gate area upon arrival can be arranged. Detachable items such as seat cushions and foot rests may be carried onboard.

We have wheelchairs available for use at each of our airports. At your destination airport, we can provide deplaning assistance and have your personal wheelchair available at the gate or baggage claim area, whichever is preferred. If you choose to have your wheelchair delivered at the baggage claim, we will provide wheelchair service to that area.

If you're booking a reservation online and need a wheelchair at the airport, please call our Reservation team so we can request the wheelchair for you in advance.

Every JetBlue aircraft and every JetBlue gate area, has available a specially-designed wheelchair for our non-ambulatory Customers to use.

These wheelchairs are referred to as "aisle chairs" because they fit the aisle of our aircraft and may be used to move about the cabin.The dimensions of the aisle chair are 27"l x 42"h x 15"w. The aisle chairs on the Airbus A320s have a weight limit of less than 300 pounds, and the aisle chairs on the EMBRAER 190s have a weight limit of less than 221 pounds. While the aisle chair provides accessibility to the entrance of the restrooms, it does not provide accessibility in the interior of the restrooms.

Our Inflight crewmembers are trained to assist customers and will provide assistance in moving to and from the aircraft lavatory. However, Inflight crewmembers are not required to carry or assist customers with personal hygiene.

We can store one folding, collapsible, or break-down wheelchair in the cabin of each aircraft.

This is provided to one customer per flight on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of check in. If the folding wheelchair is battery operated, we will remove the battery and store it in the cargo area. A wheelchair cannot be stowed in the cabin with the battery attached. Battery-powered wheelchair batteries, both spillable and non-spillable, are not permitted in the cabin.

Upon arrival in your destination city, we will need to wait until all customers have deplaned before we can bring your wheelchair to the front of the aircraft.

You also have the option of stowing your wheelchair in the forward cargo area. Should you choose to stow your wheelchair in the forward cargo area it will be one of the first items brought to the jetbridge upon arrival.

You may decide which stowage option works best for you prior to check in.

JetBlue will accept battery-powered wheelchairs/mobility aids as checked baggage only. Battery-powered wheelchair batteries are not permitted in the cabin.

JetBlue Airways accepts both spillable and non-spillable batteries in wheelchairs and mobility aids. (However, respirators and ventilators are required to have non-spillable batteries only.) Batteries used for assistive devices require labeling: the outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY” or "SPILLABLE BATTERY" so that crewmembers can exercise proper handling procedures for the different battery types.

A battery may be refused if there are obvious signs of damage.

You may bring as many spare batteries as required to operate your wheelchair. For example, if your wheelchair uses two batteries, then you may bring two spare batteries in addition to the two that are being used.

If you need to board the aircraft from your wheelchair, we offer either aircraft door level entry via a jetbridge or a wheelchair lift when a jetbridge is not available.

We have a wheelchair onboard for your use while in the aircraft.

Our Inflight crewmembers are trained to assist customers and will provide assistance in moving to and from the aircraft restroom.

Aisle chairs onboard the aircraft provide accessibility to the entrance of the restrooms, but the aisle chair cannot be taken into the restroom. The interior of each restroom is equipped with grab bars and accessible faucet handles.

Inflight crewmembers may help customers get to and from the restroom.
