JetBlue online check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes shortly before your flight - check in early to confirm your seat and get your mobile boarding pass. The app is the fastest way to do it.

When can you check in for a JetBlue flight?

Check-in opens 24 hours before scheduled departure and typically closes about 40 minutes before a domestic flight (longer for international, where it is usually at least 60 minutes). Have bags to check? Get to the airport early, because bag-drop cutoffs are earlier than the general boarding time. Check the exact cutoff for your airport and route.

How to check in for JetBlue (step by step)

  • Open the JetBlue app or go to Check In on jetblue.com.
  • Enter your confirmation code with your last name (or sign in to your TrueBlue account).
  • Confirm or change your seat and add any bags.
  • Get your mobile boarding pass, or print one if you prefer.

Running into trouble checking in for JetBlue or need to add a bag first? Call FlyOfinder at +1-878-223-0710 and our reservations team will handle it with you over the phone.

Seats, bags, and Mint

At check-in you can confirm your assigned seat or move to another available one; Even More Space and Mint (JetBlue's premium cabin) seats may carry a charge if not already on your fare. Add checked bags during check-in to save time at the airport - and remember Blue Basic fares have the most restrictions, so confirm what yours includes.

Tips for a smooth JetBlue check-in

  • Check in right at the 24-hour mark if your flight is busy.
  • Use the app for the quickest access to your boarding pass and gate updates.
  • Flying internationally? Have your passport details ready to enter.
  • Need a hand with seats or bags? Call us and we will set it up.
