The new United and JetBlue Blue Sky partnership began this morning. TPG aviation reporter Sean Cudahy wrote a story overviewing the new United-JetBlue Blue Sky partnership, including the earning rates you can expect and other upcoming changes.
But, in this article, I'll dive into what we've found while searching for United-operated award flights through JetBlue TrueBlue and for JetBlue-operated award flights through United MileagePlus. Here's what you should know.
On some — but not all — routes, you'll see awards pricing at a higher tier close to departure. For example, we found nonstop United flights between Newark and Johannesburg priced at 27,800 more points when booked within three days of departure.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
