JetBlue Baggage Fees 2026: Peak vs Off-Peak Prices and Blue Basic Rules
JetBlue prices checked bags by the calendar: $45 for the first bag and $59 for the second on off-peak dates, $49 and $69 on peak dates, when you add them at least 24 hours before departure. A third bag is $200. Blue Basic fares include no checked bag.
📅 Why the price changes by date
JetBlue splits the year into off-peak and peak. Peak dates cover most of spring and summer plus the November and December holidays, so the cheapest bag price only applies on quieter dates. Check the date of your flight, not the date you booked.
| Domestic, Caribbean, Latin America, Canada | Off-peak | Peak |
|---|---|---|
| 1st checked bag | $45 | $49 |
| 2nd checked bag | $59 | $69 |
| 3rd bag and more | $200 | $200 |
| Overweight, 51 to 99 lb | $150 | $150 |
| Oversize, 63 to 80 in | $150 | $150 |
These prices include the saving for adding the bag at least 24 hours before departure. JetBlue’s fee page shows higher prices if you add the bag later or at the airport, so add it when you book or before the 24-hour mark.
🔵 Blue Basic: what is and is not included
- No checked bag is included on Blue Basic, so every bag follows the table above.
- One free carry-on bag and a personal item are included since September 6, 2024.
- Main, Main Flex and the EvenMore fares do not include a checked bag either on domestic routes, so the table applies to them too.
🆓 Who skips the fee
- Mint: first and second checked bags are included.
- Mosaic members: the first bag is included from Mosaic 2, and the second bag is included for higher Mosaic tiers.
- JetBlue cardmembers: the first checked bag is included.
Rules change by tier and fare, so open your reservation on jetblue.com to see which bags are already covered.
