JetBlue Airways Corp. will add a bag-check fee for fliers buying the cheapest tickets, ending its status as a holdout in the U.S. industry against charging extra for luggage.
Three fare classes starting in the first half of 2015 will give travelers the choice of getting the lowest price with no free bag, or paying more for fares that would have one or two pieces of luggage included, JetBlue said today in an investor presentation in New York.
