JetBlue tends to be a leader when it comes to starting trends to increase checked bag fees, so this will be something to keep an eye on…
Effective immediately, JetBlue has increased checked bag fees. JetBlue has a rather complicated fee structure for checked bags, with both off-peak and peak pricing, plus different pricing based on whether you pay for the bag 24 hours or more in advance. With these changes, off-peak pricing has increased by $4 per bag, while peak pricing has increased by $9 per bag.
During peak periods, a first checked bag will now cost $49 if paying more than 24 hours in advance, while it’ll cost a staggering $59 if paying within 24 hours of departure. You can find the new checked bag pricing below (this doesn’t include the $10 discount if paying more than 24 hours in advance).
