AP – JetBlue has raised its checked baggage fees for the second time this year, making it more expensive for travelers to check luggage just as the busy holiday travel season gets underway.
The new fees for tickets purchased on or after November 3 mean most economy passengers flying within the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean will pay at least US$50 each way for their first checked bag, up from US$39 previously.
The price climbs to US$55 during peak travel periods, including Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, if passengers pay at least 24 hours before departure. Those who wait until the final 24 hours will pay US$60 during off-peak periods and US$70 during peak periods.
