Show Notes
JetBlue raises checked bag fees due to soaring fuel costs from the Middle East conflict, with the first bag now costing $39 and the second $59 off-peak. The airline justifies the increase to maintain low base ticket prices. Global airlines face rising fuel prices, with jet fuel costs surging 85% since February. JetBlue offers free first bags for certain passengers and expects other carriers to follow suit in passing costs through bag fees and seat upgrades.
