JetBlue is adding a new benefit to their TrueBlue® loyalty program through a partnership with Blade, a company that provides helicopter transfers from Manhattan to JFK and Newark, with travel times as little as five minutes.


On Thursday (June 23, 2022), JetBlue announced the addition of all new benefits to their TrueBlue loyalty program. Through a new partnership with Blade, a company that provides helicopter airport transfers between Manhattan and both John F.

In Thursday’s announcment, JetBlue’s Vice President of Loyalty & Partnerships, Chris Buckner, said,


“We know the JetBlue journey starts long before our customers step aboard one of our flights, which is why we are making more of the entire travel experience even easier and even more rewarding. This partnership will help us further evolve and enhance our TrueBlue program so our most loyal customers can enjoy more perks more often.”
