Flying as a lap infant, your child will not have an assigned seat, and will not have any checked baggage allowance, however a stroller and car seat may be checked-in free of charge. You will be allowed to bring a diaper bag into the cabin in addition to your regular carry-on allowance when flying with a lap infant.
A maximum of 1 lap infant is allowed per adult - if exeeding this, your other children will need to fly in their own assigned seat with a purchased ticket.
Proof of age will be required for a lap infant. They must be a minimum of 3 days old, and up to a maximum of 2 years old. If your baby is younger than 14 days old, you will need a doctor's approval for your baby to travel.

Babies and Infants Under 2 Fly Free on Jetblue International Flights

This fee depends on the origin of the flight, and is charged only on the portion of the flight flying into the US.
All passengers, including lap infants, are required to have a valid passport for international travel. You may need to provide a notarized letter of authorization if flying internationally with only one parent.
Children older than 2 years old must fly in their own assigned seat, and cannot fly as a Lap Infant after their 2nd birthday.
