new to JetBlue, baggage interlining query
B6 seem to have a load of interline agreements but I am not sure if these are in the same manner as I understood it.
I am flying B6 EWR-MCO then AA MCO-LAX LAX-LAS these are on different PNRs for the two airlines, is there any way I can get my bags checked through from EWR-LAS across the 2 PNRs?

The good news is that JetBluea and American do have an interline agreement. The bad news is that it is unlikely to cover two separate PNRs and the JetBlue employees are quite likely not trained on how to do it since they haven't supported it historically.
I'd try, but I'd also expect it to not work.

Thanks so much, I will ask at EWR but wont hold my breath for a resultthe reason for the routing is to get sectors on AA and the Jet Blue is a positioning flight! the whole trip is LHR-EWR-MCO-LAX-LAS-MIA-MCO-PHL-EWR-LHR with PHL being the stop off point for a week but you're right ACY would have been a good alternative to PHL

I cant answer your question, but I just wanted to point out that your issue is with having two tickets not two PNR's. Anytime you you are flying on more then one airline you will have a PNR for each airline. Each airline's reservation system creates a PNR to track your reservation even when you are traveling on one ticket.
In this case the issue is that they are separate reservations. Many carriers with much more robust interline agreements will not interline bags to even their closest partners on separate reservations.

The problem isnt with JetBlue, they have a very generous carry on allowance, the largest of my entire trip at 26"x18"x12" I can actually get my checked bag on as carry on! But it does seem a bit selfish to do that though as its a flight that is going to MCO and likely to be families needing to carry on kiddy related stuff.
I am looking forward to a flight with a seat back screen, extra legroom and decent coffee as opposed to the sardine can experience on WN and US. Will write a trip report as a first time traveller incase anyone is interested
