JetBlue no longer operates with its policy "First Bag is Always Free". JetBlue now charges for all checked bags, including the first checked bag, on its lowest priced fares.

Please note the increased baggage fees for 2023, as outlined below. JetBlue's 1st Bag Fee remains the same, but the price of a 2nd bag has jumped up from $45 to $60. There is a $5 discount for your first bag if adding it online ($10 off for the 2nd bag if adding online) more than 24 hours before your flight, otherwise you will be charged the fees below when paying at the airport or less than 24 hours before departure.
