I am traveling form JFK/New York to Cancun in a few weeks and want to bring a painting with me. It is boxed and doesn't weigh more than 50 lbs. What are the sizes of boxes that
I can bring...and how do I figure it. Can I pay extra if it is over sized.
thanks

From jetBlue's help section: (http://help.jetblue.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/webisapi.dll/,/?St=76,E=0000000000015217217,K=357,Sxi=12,Case=obj (634))

Aruba, Bahamas, Bermuda and Mexico

You may bring two bags per person free of charge.
Each bag must NOT exceed 62 inches in overall dimensions (length plus width
plus height) and can NOT exceed 50 pounds.

Excess, Overweight and Oversized Baggage

Excess bags will be accepted for a fee of $80 per bag on a load availability

per the guidelines below:

Unfortunatly, it looks like you can't check boxes to Cancun - not really sure why :-/ Maybe ship it using FedEx/UPS/DHL/etc...

Did some more searching and found this, which might be another option:

Cargo on Jetblue (http://help.jetblue.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/webisapi.dll/,/?St=73,E=0000000000015217118,K=3413,Sxi=11,Case=ob j(2233))
