How Strict Is JetSmart With Carry-On?
JetSmart is slightly strict with its carry-on size and weight.
So your bags must fit within their size limits and stay under 10 kg.
You might end paying some charges if you show up with oversized or overweight carry-ons.
What Is JetSmart Checked Baggage?
Your checked baggage cannot exceed 158 linear cm and must weigh up to 23 kg. You can carry up to a maximum of 5 checked baggage items.
The allowed dimensions, weight, and pieces for checked baggage are as follows:
- Max size: 158 linear cm / 62.2 inches linear
- Maximum weight: 23 kg / 50.7 lbs
- Max: 5 per passenger
If you want to carry checked baggage, JetSmart recommends that you pay for it online at the time of purchasing your ticket.
It will be more expensive at the airport.
If you pay for your checked baggage online, you can hand it in at the counter on the day of your flight at no additional cost.
JetSmart Checked Baggage Charges

| Checked Baggage (in the hold of the plane) | Starting at $20USD | Starting at $24USD | Starting at $50USD | Starting at $50USD |
How Strict Is JetSmart With Checked Bags?
Just like carry-on baggage JetSmart is also slightly strict with checked baggage weight and size.
If your bag is over 23 kg or above the size limit you will end up paying extra, and baggage over 32 kg is not accepted at all.
So make sure that your checked bag is within the specified size and weight.
What Is JetSmart Excess Baggage?
If your baggage is oversized and weighs more than 23 kg / 50.7 lbs up to 32 kg / 70.5 lbs, JetSmart will charge you a fixed $35 USD.
Baggage over 32 kg / 70.5 lbs is not allowed under any circumstances.
| Optional | Flights in Chile | Flights in Argentina | International Flights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excess luggage | $22.000 CLP | $1.350 ARS | $35 USD |
For flights from Argentina, prices do not include DNT (7% additional).
JetSmart Special / Oversized / Overweight Baggage
If you want to travel with large bags, sports equipment, or musical instruments, the following luggage policy applies:
The maximum weight is 23 kg / 50.7, and dimensions greater than 158 cm / 62.2 inches linear but smaller than 230 cm linear / 90.6 inches, with the exception of surfboards, which can measure up to 300 cm / 118 inches linear.
Examples of oversized luggage include bicycles, surfboards, golf club bags, fishing equipment, etc.
You can carry up to a maximum of 3 checked bags.
As stated above, it is always cheaper to pay for your baggage online rather than at the airport.
Airport fees are usually higher due to the time and resources the process requires.
When paying online, you do not need to pay any additional fees at the airport.
Final Thoughts
Taking a suitcase that is slightly above the airline size is possible on off-peak seasons.
However, on most times the airline is quite strict with carry-on size and weight, so make sure your cabin bag stays within 45 × 35 × 25 cm / 17.7 × 13.8 × 9.8 in and under 10 kg / 22 lbs
You can pack additional items like a backpack or purse.
Checked baggage allows up to 23 kg / 50.7 lbs per bag and 158 cm / 62 inches linear dimensions, with fees increasing if you pay at the airport.
Oversized or overweight luggage will cause you to pay some more charges, so keep that in mind.
I hope this helps
Happy travels
