Seat selection on JetBlue

Is seat selection done only upon check-in, either online (24 hours before the flight), or at the airport (i.e., not when you book your flight)? Looking at JetBlue for IAD-LGB non-stop vs. Southwest for IAD-LAX (with a stop at MDW). We'd then drive to the Upland/Ontario area. Offhand, JetBlue looks better in this case. Flying directly to ONT on Southwest would cost more.

No. You select your seats when you purchase the tickets.

If you go through the booking process on jetblue.com you will be given a screen to select a seat after you pick a flight and enter traveler details (but before you enter payment information).

Have you looked for Southwest BWI-LAX? May be cheaper. Virgin America/United tend to also have good deals on IAD-LAX.

Thanks! Yes, I checked Southwest, out of both Dulles and BWI, but total price about the same, times not quite as good, it would not be non-stop, and landing at Long Beach would be a little more convenient. Also, interestingly, it would work out for rental cars: we want to leave the car at BUR 3 days later, and Budget has the best price, but while they would allow picking up a car at LGB and leaving it at BUR, they would not allow picking up at LAX and leaving it at BUR.
