Aer Lingus + JetBlue check-in questions

xboxdad

Hello,

I'm a bit confused about checking in for our DUB->BOS->MCO (then MCO->JFK->DUB) flight.
It involves Aer Lingus (IRL<->USA) and JetBlue (within the USA).

Online check-in is not avaliable, it says check in at the airport.

My questions are:

• Do I need to check in separately for JetBlue or will it all get handled at Dublin airport?
• Will they check me in for the return flights as well?
• Do I need to claim my bags at BOS/JFK between Aer Lingus and JetBlue?
• Do we really need to be there at the airport 3.5hrs before departure? (both ways?)

Thanks for any help!

• Will they check me in for the return flights as well? No, you have to check in for the return flight on the way back.
• Do I need to claim my bags at BOS/JFK between Aer Lingus and JetBlue? You clear customs and immigration in Dublin with AerLingus so your bags should be checked all the way through.
• Do we really need to be there at the airport 3.5hrs before departure? (both ways?)Yes, you will definitely need to be there 3.5 hours beforehand both ways.

Thanks for any help!
