Overview

• The Blue Sky partnership is an interline agreement that lets each carrier sell the other’s flights while maintaining separate brands and flight numbers.
• United’s MileagePlus and JetBlue’s TrueBlue members will earn and redeem miles on most partner flights and receive reciprocal elite benefits like priority boarding and free checked bags.
• JetBlue will allocate seven daily JFK round-trip slots to United starting in 2027, marking United’s first scheduled service at the airport since 2022.
• United will transfer eight flight timings at Newark Liberty International Airport to JetBlue, boosting JetBlue’s capacity at its New Jersey hub.
• Aspects of the pact could take effect as early as this fall pending U.S. regulatory approval, with full rollout details to be announced later this year.
