- From 2 February 2027, Jetstar plans to stop routinely weighing cabin bags at check-in and boarding and replace the 7-kilogram limit with size restrictions.
- Every fare includes one bag measuring up to 40 × 30 × 20 centimetres, while passengers must buy Priority Carry-on for a bag up to 56 × 36 × 23 centimetres, with priority boarding included.
- Priority Carry-on starts at $25 one-way on selected flights, with prices varying by route and Club Jetstar members receiving 20 percent off baggage fees.
- Priority Carry-on is expected to be included at no charge for Qantas Classic Flight Rewards bookings on Jetstar and existing bookings for travel after 2 February 2027.
We know that weighing carry-on bags at the gate can be frustrating for our customers and for our crew. To make packing easier, we’ve decided to remove the 7kg weight limit, so from February, the main thing customers will need to think about is the size of their carry-on.— Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully; quoted in a Point Hacks article describing the carry-on rule changes
