Ok jetblue. You need to stop with this shit. Fees & squeeze on fliers JetBlue announced plans Wednesday to charge for checked bags and squeeze more seats on planes. The airline said it will create three ticket classes beginning in mid-2015, and only the top two include at least one free checked bag. It also said it will add 15 seats to its Airbus A320 planes, which will cost passengers in legroom between rows — going from 34 inches to just 33 inches. The retrofit of cabins will start in late 2016 and take two years, executives said. JetBlue’s move will leave Southwest as the only large US airline that allows all passengers to check at least one bag for free. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly has said the lack of bag fees has attracted enough additional passengers to more than offset money that would be raised by fees. The moves by JetBlue, which has been under pressure from investors to boost revenue, are expected to generate $300 million per year.
