JetBlue has partnered with Blade Air Mobility Inc. to add new benefits to the airline’s TrueBlue loyalty program. Blade provides helicopter airport transfers between Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Journey times to both JFK and EWR can take as little as five minutes from Manhattan’s Midtown heliports.
“We know the JetBlue journey starts long before our customers step aboard one of our flights, which is why we are making more of the entire travel experience even easier and even more rewarding,” said, Chris Buckner, vice president of loyalty and partnerships, JetBlue. “This partnership will help us further evolve and enhance our TrueBlue program so our most loyal customers can enjoy more perks more often.”
Starting July 1, Mosaic members will receive 25 percent discount on their first-ever Blade Airport trip and TrueBlue members will receive 10 percent discount on their first trip when connecting to or from JetBlue flights.
Mosaic+ members will receive credits that are redeemable for complimentary seats on Blade airport helicopter transfers through the new collaboration, when connecting to or from JetBlue flights. Credits can also be used for a Mosaic+ member’s eligible travel companions.
“We look forward to enabling loyal JetBlue fliers to fly between the city and area airports in as little as five minutes,” said Melissa Tomkiel, Blade’s president. “Given its New York City roots JetBlue is an ideal partner as we continue to ramp up our Blade Airport service to six days a week and up to thirteen hours per day in New York City.”
JetBlue will provide TrueBlue members access to Blade through 2023.
