JetBlue rolls back luggage fee for the holidays

In October, JetBlue began charging a

penalty fee

for bags over 50 pounds. Now it's rolling that fee back—but just for the holidays.

The airline is

waiving

the baggage fee ($20) for bags weighing up to 60 pounds. The waived fee applies to customers checking bags through January 3.
