JetBlue has raised its checked bag fees for tickets bought on or after November 3, 2026. The first checked bag now costs $50 each way when prepaid off-peak (up from $39), $55 at peak times, and $60–$70 if you pay within 24 hours of departure.
The timing matters: November 19–30 is peak season, so a Thanksgiving round trip with one checked bag each way costs $110 in bag fees alone — on top of the fare.
The carry-on answer
Fees like these are why more travellers are going carry-on only. Compression is the trick: our airtight waterproof storage bags press flat by hand and fit around 10 t-shirts in a single bag, and our vacuum compression backpacks squeeze a trip's worth of clothes into cabin size. One bag, bought once, costs less than a single trip's worth of checked-bag fees — and it is reusable on every trip after.
