US EditionUnited and JetBlue to Allow Frequent Flyers to Earn, Use Miles on Each Other's Airline
- On May 29, 2025, United Airlines and JetBlue Airways revealed a new partnership called Blue Sky, enabling members of their frequent flyer programs to earn and redeem miles across each other's flights.
- This partnership comes following the conclusion of JetBlue's alliance with American Airlines in 2023, which ended due to a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department during the Biden administration.
- JetBlue will provide United access to seven daily round-trip slots at JFK Airport starting as early as 2027, while the airlines will remain separate and manage flights independently.
- Frequent flyers will gain advantages such as early boarding, complimentary checked bags, and preferred seating when flying on either airline, and both carriers will list each other’s flight options and sell tickets through their respective online platforms.
- The Blue Sky deal expands loyalty options for MileagePlus and TrueBlue members and requires regulatory approval before implementation.
