JetBlue and United Airlines – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – have launched the first major customer benefit from their Blue Sky collaboration: loyalty members of both airlines can now earn and redeem points or miles across each other’s networks.
This milestone delivers JetBlue and United’s shared vision to create a more rewarding travel experience by giving customers greater flexibility and choice when booking flights with their loyalty currency of choice.
When searching for flights with points or miles on JetBlue or United’s websites and mobile apps, customers will now see flight options across both airlines’ networks, making it easier than ever to turn everyday travel into meaningful rewards.
To earn miles, points and tiles, TrueBlue members can enter their loyalty number when booking United-operated flights. Similarly, United MileagePlus members can enter theirs when booking JetBlue-operated flights. To redeem points or miles, members should continue booking award travel directly through their respective airline’s website, selecting the option to search with points or miles.
“With reciprocal earning and redemption now available, Blue Sky is officially taking flight,” the airlines said in a joint statement. “We’re excited to give our loyalty members the ability to use the program of their choice when travelling across our complementary networks.”
The airlines emphasized that this is just the beginning of their collaboration. Additional customer benefits will continue rolling out in phases. Through these initiatives, Blue Sky aims to create more rewarding, connected and streamlined travel experiences for customers while opening new avenues for growth for both airlines.
