Need a hotel recommendation?


JetBlue Airways, the official airline of the SFJAZZ Spring Season, recommends these helpful tips!


finding the best fare

JetBlue always quotes you the lowest fare. Advance purchase fares (7- and 14- day advance) are not always available. So planning ahead pays.

how to pack

Choose lightweight, durable, waterproof luggage. Don't overstuff your bags. Remove any old airline destination tags (when it comes to luggage, the less confusion, the better!) before checking in.

Travel light. Overhead bin space is limited. For stress-free travel, try bringing one carry-on bag that will fit underneath your seat. Keep your valuables and any medication in your carry-on luggage.

Carry on fragile items. Pack anything that might leak (nail polish, shampoo, strawberry jam) inside an airtight plastic bag. Just remember that all liquid and gels in your carry on must be in containers 3 ounces or less and must fit comfortably in a clear one quart zip-top bag.

Banish wrinkles! Instead of folding your T-shirts, try rolling them up like newspapers. Put blouses, dresses, etc., inside garment bags before folding and packing. Stuff socks inside your shoes so they don’t get squashed.

Online Check-in

Online Flight Check-in allows customers to check in for JetBlue flights from their home or office computer, so that when they arrive at the airport they can go directly to the security checkpoint and through to their gate. With Online Flight Check-in, customers can confirm, assign and change seat assignment(s) before going to the airport. Additionally, customers can check their baggage online. The Online Flight Check-in process is simple, fast and secure.
