Eligible members of JetBlue’s TrueBlue and United Airlines’ MileagePlus loyalty programs can now take advantage of reciprocal loyalty perks and benefits when traveling across either airlines’ networks, according to an announcement.
The integration of the airlines’ reciprocal loyalty benefits, said the announcement, follows the launch of JetBlue and United’s Blue Sky interline agreement and sales, which allows customers to earn and redeem points and book flights on either carrier’s website. Blue Sky was launched last May.
Eligible TrueBlue and MileagePlus members who include their frequent flier number on their booking can now expect the following benefits when traveling across either airline’s network:
- Priority boarding
- When traveling on JetBlue, United’s Premier Platinum and Premier 1K members will board with Group 1; Premier Gold members with Group 2; and Premier Silver members with Group 3
- When traveling on United, JetBlue’s Mosaic 2, 3 and 4 members will board with Group 1; and Mosaic 1 members will board with Group 2
- Complimentary access to extra legroom seating at check-in
- Includes EvenMore seating when traveling on JetBlue
- Includes Economy Plus seating when traveling on United
- Priority check-in and security
- Complimentary preferred seat selection after booking
- One free checked bag plus priority bag handling
- Same-day standby options
Ed Pouthier, JetBlue’s vice president of loyalty and personalization, said, “this latest enhancement to our Blue Sky collaboration offers even greater value to our brand loyal customers.”
In the future, said the announcement, customers will be able to travel on both JetBlue and United with a single connected interline ticket.
