On Thursday (October 23, 2025), JetBlue announced the launch of the first major customer benefit from their Blue Sky collaboration with United Airlines.  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.


In a joint statement on Thursday, the JetBlue and United said,


“With reciprocal earning and redemption now available, Blue Sky is officially taking flight.  We’re excited to give our loyalty members the ability to use the program of their choice when traveling across our complementary networks.”


Effective immediately, TrueBlue members can earn points and redeem them for flights across United’s global network, including United Express.  Likewise, United MileagePlus members can earn and redeem miles on most flights across JetBlue’s network of top leisure destinations. 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.

 

To earn miles, points and tiles, TrueBlue members can enter their loyalty number when booking United-operated flights on United.com. Similarly, United MileagePlus members can enter theirs when booking JetBlue-operated flights on JetBlue.com.  When redeeming points or miles, loyalty members should continue booking award travel directly through their respective airline’s website, selecting the option to search with points or miles.


Additional Blue Sky benefits will continue to rollout in 2026, including the ability to book itineraries on either airline using cash or miles/points, reciprocal benefits such as priority boarding, preferred and extra legroom seating, and same-day standby and flight changes.  Additionally, United’s MileagePlus Travel will transition to Paisly in early 2026, offering expanded options for hotels, rental cars, cruises, packages and travel insurance.  JetBlue will also support United’s JFK expansion, with access to slots for up to seven daily roundtrips from JetBlue’s new Terminal 6 beginning as early as 2027.
