How to check-in online for your flight with JetBlue
This very simple process is done exclusively on the JetBlue website and on their mobile app.
This procedure is child’s play. From your computer or smartphone, as a passenger, you simply need to log in to your account by entering your name and booking reference (or ticket number, also known as PNR) in the login fields.
By accessing the check-in platform, you can check your reservation details for the last time before permanently registering your flight. The procedure ends with the issuance of the boarding pass in electronic form, and it is up to you to choose between leaving it on your mobile or downloading it and printing it on paper.

As for JetBlue Airways’ seat selection service
