Online & Mobile Check-In
JetBlue allows passengers to check in online or through the JetBlue mobile app starting 24 hours before the scheduled departure of their flight. This method is fast, user-friendly, and recommended for most travelers. When checking in online or via the app, you can:

- Add checked baggage and pay fees in advance
- Access and download a digital boarding pass
- Receive real-time flight notifications and gate updates
The mobile boarding pass can be scanned at security checkpoints and boarding gates, helping you skip printing or waiting in lines at the airport.

If you prefer to check in at the airport, JetBlue provides several options to meet different needs:
1. Self-Service Kiosks

2. Ticket Counters
- Ideal for passengers needing special assistance, traveling with pets, unaccompanied minors, or those who prefer personalized service.

3. Curbside Check-In
