Jetstar changes carry-on baggage rules from February

Jetstar is overhauling its carry-on baggage policy, effective February 2025. The changes appear to restrict overhead bin access unless passengers pay for a higher fare or ancillary service, moving away from the current complimentary carry-on allowance.

What it means for you

Business-class passengers should verify their cabin product's baggage entitlements before booking, as Jetstar's policy shift may affect what you can bring into the cabin without additional cost. The change likely applies across the network, so check your specific booking terms. Jetstar's low-cost model means ancillary charges are common, but this formalises a tighter approach to overhead bin space.
