What is Group C on JetBlue?
Group C on JetBlue is the sixth boarding group in the airline's sequence, designated for general boarding passengers.
Understanding JetBlue's Group C Boarding
When flying with JetBlue, passengers are assigned to various boarding groups to facilitate an organized boarding process. Group C represents a position in the later stages of boarding, specifically as the sixth group to be called. This group falls under the general boarding category, meaning it's primarily for customers who do not have priority boarding status.
The provided information indicates Group C's place within the general boarding sequence, highlighting its position relative to other later groups:
| Boarding Group | Boarding Order | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Group C | Sixth | General boarding. |

| Group F | Ninth | General boarding. Blue Basic (basic economy) customers. |
What "General Boarding" Means
For passengers in Group C, general boarding typically implies:
- Standard Access: You will board after passengers with higher priority, such as those with premium fare types (e.g., Mint), elite status members (e.g., Mosaic), or those requiring special assistance.
- Overhead Bin Space: As a later boarding group, the availability of overhead bin space for carry-on luggage might be more limited compared to those who board earlier.
- Seat Selection: If your fare allows for seat selection on board, fewer options may be available by the time Group C is called.
JetBlue's Boarding Group System
JetBlue utilizes a structured boarding process to ensure efficiency and order on its flights. While specific priority groups board first, the majority of passengers fall into general boarding groups like C, D, E, and F. The sequence is designed to move passengers onto the aircraft systematically, balancing various fare types and loyalty statuses. Being in Group C indicates you are among the earlier general boarding passengers, before groups like D, E, and F, which include basic economy customers.
