On Tuesday (February 10, 2026), JetBlue announced the rollout of the next stage of their ‘Blue Sky’ partnership with United Airlines.  Beginning this week, customers can start to purchasing eligible itineraries operated by either airline directly on either airline’s website or mobile app.  Customers will now be able to book flights on either airline using cash, points, or miles, giving travelers more freedom to shop and pay the way they prefer while accessing either network.  In the future, the airlines expect to later add the ability to book a single itinerary that includes flights operated by both JetBlue.


In Tuesday’s announcement, JetBlue’s President, Marty St. George, said,


“This is an important step forward in our Blue Sky collaboration, expanding the choice and flexibility we offer customers when they travel.  This move gives our members even more ability to earn and redeem points to exciting destinations around the world, while United customers gain access to JetBlue’s network across the Americas and Europe.  Throughout the year, we will enhance the Blue Sky collaboration by introducing reciprocal loyalty perks on flights and expanding Paisly-powered vacation offerings, including United-supported products such as hotels, cruises, rental cars and travel insurance.”


Also commenting on the rollout of the next stage of the Blue Sky collaboration, United Airlines’ EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Andrew Nocella, said,


“With cash bookings now available, Blue Sky is making it even easier for customers to plan and purchase travel across two leading networks.  This milestone is another proof point of the value Blue Sky is bringing customers – in giving them the ability to book with cash, miles or points on either network, customers now have more choice, flexibility and a better overall booking experience when traveling to their favorite destinations.”


This Blue Sky milestone 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 airlines (T&Cs apply).  With revenue booking going live, JetBlue and United are delivering on their commitment to create a more connected, flexible, and seamless travel experience.
