JetBlue is raising checked baggage fees for the third time in less than a year, as soaring fuel and operating costs put pressure on airline profits. Beginning with the latest fee changes, economy passengers will pay $50 for a first checked bag when booked more than 24 hours before departure during nonpeak periods, up from $45. The fee rises to $60 when paid within 24 hours of departure. During peak travel periods, including summer and holidays, the first checked bag will cost $55 in advance and as much as $70 when purchased within 24 hours of departure.
