• JetBlue and United Go Live With Reciprocal Elite Perks Under Blue Sky

  The JetBlue-United partnership just got more useful for loyalty members. As of May, elite members of either program get reciprocal perks when flying the other airline - priority check-in, a free checked bag, preferred seats, and same-day standby - on top of earning 5 points or miles per dollar across both carriers. Two catches worth knowing: no lounge access, and a handful of competitive routes are excluded from earning.

Register at flyfrontier.com before May 31, and book at least 24 hours before departure.

• JetBlue TrueBlue: Redeem Points on China Airlines Flights — Now Live

  Taiwan and beyond just got a lot more reachable on TrueBlue points. JetBlue added reciprocal award redemptions with China Airlines on April 29, 2026 — TrueBlue members can now book China Airlines flights (including Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, and more) directly on jetblue.com, and Dynasty Flyer members can book JetBlue flights in return. Availability is constrained and redemption rates run on the pricier side, so check pricing carefully before you commit.
