Can you bring a bassinet on a plane with JetBlue Airways when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a bassinet on JetBlue

 

Short answer: JetBlue generally does not provide onboard bassinets. For a safe, comfortable option for your baby, use one of these alternatives and check with the airline before travel.

  • Buy a separate seat and use an FAA‑approved car seat — the safest option for daytime travel and naps; the car seat must be certified for aircraft use.
  • Ask about bulkhead seating when booking or at check‑in — bulkheads give more room for holding or reclining the baby, but bassinets (if ever offered) are aircraft‑ and row‑specific and rare on JetBlue.
  • Gate‑check stroller and car seat for free — most parents gate‑check these items and use them in airport until boarding.
  • Call JetBlue before your flight — confirm whether your specific aircraft and route offer any bassinet option and reserve bulkhead seats if available.

If you want, tell me your flight number and date and I can help draft the questions to ask JetBlue or what to request at check‑in.
