United Airlines and JetBlue Airways have announced a new partnership and it includes some big benefits for those heading to the skies.
The deal was announced Thursday and still needs federal approval. It will allow passengers to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles across both airlines and book flights on each other's websites. United’s MileagePlus and JetBlue’s TrueBlue members will gain access to each other’s loyalty perks, including priority boarding, free checked bags, preferred seating, extra legroom and same-day changes when flying on either carrier.
