Inflation is in the air for 2024. Alaska Airlines will raise its baggage fees as of Jan. 2.
For passengers flying in coach who don’t have mileage status, the fee will go from $30 to $35. A second checked bag will go from $40 to $45. Bags in excess of that will be charged the same as they are now — $150.
Certain items, such as strollers, car seats, and mobility aids, are exempt from fees. Fees are also waived for Alaska Airlines credit card holders, Elite level Mileage Plan members, and US military personnel.
