JetBlue and United Begin Offering Sales Across Both Airlines
JetBlue and United Airlines have announced an expansion of their Blue Sky collaboration. Beginning this week, travelers can start to purchase eligible itineraries operated by either airline directly on JetBlue.com, United.com and each airline’s mobile app.
For the first time, customers will be able to book flights on either airline using cash, points, or miles. When searching for flights on either airline’s website or mobile app, customers will start to see more options from both carriers, making it easier to plan and book travel using the booking method of their choice. The airlines expect to later add the ability to book a single itinerary that includes flights operated by both JetBlue and United in the future.
This offering follows the successful introduction of reciprocal loyalty earning and redemption in 2025, which enabled TrueBlue® and MileagePlus® members to earn and redeem rewards across both carriers.
The airlines also emphasized that more benefits remain on the horizon as the collaboration continues rolling out in phases:
- Reciprocal perks and benefits – arriving later this spring – including priority boarding, preferred and extra legroom seating, and same-day changes and standby.
- United’s MileagePlus Travel transitioning to Paisly, LLC – arriving later in 2026 – expanding booking capabilities for MileagePlus members to add hotels, vacation packages, rental cars, cruises and travel insurance through Paisly’s travel services platform.
- United’s planned growth for JFK– with JetBlue providing United access to slots for up to seven daily roundtrips at JFK’s new Terminal 6 as early as 2027.
