Show Notes
Alaska Airlines increases checked bag fees, starting April 10, 2026. First bag jumps to $45, second to $55, and third or more to $200. Other airlines like Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, and United also raise fees. Travelers, especially families, may feel the pinch. Experts attribute the increase to soaring fuel costs due to the Iran conflict. These fees are expected to remain through summer peak travel seasons.
