JetBlue makes it easy for travelers to check in ahead of time, giving you more control and convenience during your travel experience. You can check in online or through the JetBlue mobile app as early as 24 hours before your scheduled flight departure. This applies to both domestic and international flights.
For domestic travel, the online check-in window closes 40 minutes before departure, while for international flights, it closes 60 minutes prior to takeoff. These timeframes are essential to keep in mind, especially if you're checking bags or need additional services at the airport.
To begin the check-in process, simply visit website or open the JetBlue mobile app. You’ll need a few key details, such as your confirmation code, e-ticket number, or your TrueBlue account login to retrieve your reservation. Once you're in, you can review and manage your booking, select or change your seat, add checked baggage, and receive a digital boarding pass that can be stored on your phone or printed out.
If you're traveling with checked luggage, arrive at the airport with enough time to drop off your bags at JetBlue’s designated bag drop counter. Note that the bag drop deadline matches the check-in cutoffs—40 minutes for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international—so plan accordingly.
However, not all passengers qualify for online or app-based check-in. If you're flying as an unaccompanied minor, require a wheelchair or special assistance, are traveling with a pet in cabin, or are on certain international itineraries, you’ll need to check in at the airport counter. These travelers should allow additional time at the airport to complete any required documentation or processes.
JetBlue’s digital check-in options are designed to help travelers streamline their pre-flight experience, reduce wait times, and bypass long lines at airport kiosks or counters. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or a first-time traveler, using online check-in helps you get to your gate faster and with less hassle.
Set a reminder on your phone for 24 hours before your flight to start the check-in process.
Review baggage policies before check-in so you know your fees and limits.
Use the JetBlue app for real-time flight updates, gate changes, and boarding reminders.
Bring a valid government-issued ID and any travel documents required for international travel.
If you miss the online window, arrive at the airport early to check in at a kiosk or service counter.
JetBlue’s check-in system is built for modern travelers—fast, mobile, and simple. Whether you're traveling for business, vacation, or a quick weekend getaway, checking in early ensures a stress-free start to your journey.
