JetBlue was the first airline to increase baggage fees to $30 back in 2018 and other airlines quickly followed their lead. Effective immediately JetBlue will be increasing checked bag fees as follows:
- $35 for first checked bag (previously $30)
- $45 for second checked bag (previously $40)
If users pay in advance (prior to the online check in window opening) then the prices all drop by $5 (i.e stay the same). Now we wait to see what other airlines follow JetBlue’s lead here.
