United & JetBlue Expand Blue Sky Partnership with New Sales

United Airlines and JetBlue have reached a new milestone in their Blue Sky partnership by opening up expanded booking options that allow customers to purchase itineraries involving both carriers’ flights using either cash or miles.

 

Under the enhanced cooperation, travellers can now book combined United and JetBlue flights through either airline’s booking platform. This means passengers flying on itineraries involving segments from both carriers can choose to pay with cash or redeem loyalty miles — including United’s MileagePlus miles — for the entire journey, opening up more flexible and seamless travel options across both networks.

The collaboration reflects deeper integration between the two U.S. carriers, which have worked together in recent years to create a more competitive alternative to other transcontinental airline alliances. Passengers on Blue Sky routes benefit from coordinated schedules, reciprocal benefits, and shared service standards, helping improve connectivity between major U.S. markets.

Airline officials say the expanded booking capability enhances customer convenience, providing more choices for travel planning, better access to combined route options, and the ability to seamlessly link flights across both carriers’ systems without needing separate bookings.

The Blue Sky partnership — a commercial cooperation between United and JetBlue — continues to evolve as both airlines seek to strengthen their positions in the U.S. domestic and international markets. The expanded sales integration marks a meaningful step toward deeper customer-friendly connectivity, combining the strengths of both carriers’ networks to offer more options for travellers nationwide.
