This U.S. Airline Just Raised Its Baggage Fees

JetBlue has raised its checked baggage fees to an industry high.

The airline has raised the fee for your first checked bag to $30 — a $5 increase. A second bag will cost you $40 (up from $35) and a third bag is $150 (a $50 increase).

Air Canada and WestJet have also announced an increase in baggage fees, now charging $30 for the first checked bag.

The new baggage fees surpass those charged by other major airlines; United, Delta and American still charge $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second. Southwest allows up to two free checked bags.
