JetBlue and Etihad enhance partnership with added loyalty rewards

JetBlue and Etihad are taking their partnership to new heights, offering travelers more opportunities to earn and redeem loyalty points across both airlines. Starting May 8, loyalists of both carriers will be able to use their TrueBlue points to book flights on Etihad, and vice versa. This expansion of their partnership marks a significant milestone in their nearly decade-long relationship.

Previously, the partnership between JetBlue and Etihad was limited to codeshare arrangements, allowing for seamless connections between the two carriers. However, with this new development, travelers can now fully leverage the benefits of both loyalty programs when flying on either airline.

JetBlue’s Vice President of Loyalty and Partnerships, Christopher Buckner, expressed excitement about the extended partnership, stating that it will provide more ways for members to earn and redeem points while exploring a wider range of global destinations.

For elite status members, such as JetBlue’s Mosaic members, the partnership extension may bring additional perks and benefits when traveling on Etihad. While specific details on these perks have not been released yet, the news is sure to excite frequent flyers looking to maximize their rewards.

With this enhanced partnership, travelers can look forward to more flexibility and opportunities for redemptions, whether they have a stash of TrueBlue points or credit card rewards that can be transferred to JetBlue or Etihad. This collaboration opens up a world of possibilities for those seeking to make the most of their loyalty points and enjoy a seamless travel experience across both airlines.
