Less than two months after JetBlue raised fees on checked bags, travelers must now pay even more to check a bag if they fly during a peak travel date.

If you check a bag more than 24 hours before departure, you will pay $35 for the first bag and $50 for the second bag, according to JetBlue’s Bag Info website. However, if you fly on a peak travel date, you will pay $40 for the first bag and $60 for the second bag.
