Show Notes

United Airlines raises checked bag fees, with a $10 increase for first and second bags on flights to U.S., Mexico, Canada, and Latin America. The new rates apply to tickets bought on or after April 3rd, while exemptions remain for certain passengers. JetBlue also recently increased bag fees, citing rising operating costs. Fuel prices, driven by Iran war tensions, are causing airlines to pass on higher expenses, leading to increased fares. Travelers should monitor their budgets as airlines adapt to these pressures.
