JetBlue & Japan Airlines Partnership Ending in March
Well, that was fast. Less than a year after the launching award bookings to their partnership, JetBlue and Japan Airlines (JAL) are already calling it quits.
JetBlue’s website quietly updated with the news:
“Our loyalty partnership agreement with Japan Airlines will be coming to an end on March 31, 2026. TrueBlue members can continue to redeem points on Japan Airlines flights booked on or before that date. All existing bookings will be honored.”
This partnership allowed TrueBlue members to redeem points on JAL flights, and vice-versa. However, it appears this agreement will end before it even truly got off the ground. While no official reason has been given, these things often come down to shifting business strategies, competitive landscapes, or perhaps simply a lack of mutual benefit meeting initial expectations.
The good news is, you’ve still got a bit of time – until March 31, 2026 – to redeem TrueBlue points on Japan Airlines flights.
