Why Can’t I Check-in Online With JetBlue?
There are several reasons why some airlines allow passengers to check-in at the airport for certain destinations.
For JetBlue, all customers traveling to and from Cuba must check-in at the JetBlue ticket counter only.
For other destinations, this may occur due to a technical issue.
KAT asked JetBlue on X (Formerly Twitter) why she wasn’t able to check-in for her flight online.
The JetBlue customer service didn’t really provide any reasons, but they advised her to try the JetBlue mobile app or check-in at the airport Kiosk.
Make sure you have your confirmation number handy, especially if you’re checking in at the airport.
Since the kiosks usually ask for that code by default, having it ready can save you time.
