JetBlue Airways Baggage Fees
JetBlue Airways baggage fees vary by fare type, destination, and when you pay for your checked bags. JetBlue baggage fees start at $39 for the first checked bag on eligible domestic fares, while one carry-on bag and one personal item are included free on all fares, including Blue Basic. Travelers can save up to $10 per bag by adding their first or second checked bag at least 24 hours before departure instead of paying later.

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Checked Bags
Up to 2 checked bags can be added to a booking at any point — during booking or even at the airport.
Need to check more than 2 bags? Extra bags can be added and paid for at the airport.
If checked bags aren't included in the fare, it's cheaper to pay for them online or via the app in advance (this discount applies only to the first 2 bags).
Customers flying internationally should check separately for bag rules that apply to specific countries or regions.
