Show Notes

Airlines hike checked baggage fees due to soaring jet fuel prices, with JetBlue leading the charge. United, American, Delta, and Southwest follow suit, increasing fees by $4-$9 for economy passengers. Fuel costs could add $11 billion annually, but demand for flights remains strong. Pre-paid first bag now $45, second $55, and third $200 at the airport. Elite passengers, military, premium cabin riders, and some credit card holders still enjoy free bags.
