Answer-first summary
Carry-on allowance

One carry-on bag and one personal item are published as included on all fares, including Blue Basic, under the current JetBlue update in this dataset.

Personal item rules

The published carry-on row confirms a personal item is included, but this dataset does not publish a separate JetBlue personal-item dimensions row on this page.

Checked bag baseline

On the published U.S., Caribbean, and Central America baseline, Blue shows the first checked bag at USD 35 prepaid online and the second at USD 45 prepaid online, while Blue Plus includes the first checked bag and still lists the second at USD 45.

Notable restrictions

Blue Basic is the main restrictive fare family in the current dataset: it still includes a carry-on, but changes are not allowed and cancellations are listed at USD 100 per person on most routes and USD 200 on transatlantic itineraries.
