JetBlue has quite a few airline partners, most of which consist of interline and codeshare agreements, which allow you to seamlessly book travel and connect on two airlines. Notably, they partner with Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar, and don't participate in the same smear campaign that the big three US carriers do. However, as of now,…

This is great news-- it would be great to see Icelandair cooperate with more partners. I'd love to fly them soon. I wonder if they have any plans to expand their route network?
This could be pretty interesting for me. Do points earned on Icelandair qualify for Mosaic status?
As a Saga Gold member, I am happy that this now works the other way round too, and you can now credit Jet Blue flights to Icelandair - not only will you get award points, but also tier points for those flights, with the 20% executive bonus applying too.
Miles earned don't come close to what you can get with Alaska, and sadly this partnership does not cover lounge access like there is with Alaska.
A couple of days ago, I booked a flight KEF-JFK-AUS for October during one of Icelandair's flash sales (ex-KEF, that they only advertise in Icelandic), so I definitely welcome this.
Lucky, Im starting to think of investing hardcore on JetBlue (regarding flying more with them and accumulating points), and if I need a route they dont offer, then resulting to AA. Im tired of UA and its crappy service & Ive never flown nor have the desire to fly Delta.
Im rooting for JetBlue, think their Mint product is fantastic, their prices are friendly...what do you think? And then ill be able to redeem their TrueBlue points towards Emirates correct?
I traveled IcelandAir to KEF in September. I purchased my ticket from IcelandAir and entered my TruBlue # on the IcelandAir website. Since that time I have not been credited for travel to/from KEF on IcelandAir. When I enquired with JetBlue about my earning points for travel on IcelandAir they told me that "We do not have a frequent flyer partnership with IcelandAir, we do have a code share agreement".
Has something changed with JetBlue/IcelandAir since this article's posting?
Good luck getting your True Blue points for your travel on Icelandair. I've been trying since September 2019 (four months) to get my points for four round trip Icelandair flights, flown in August 2019, that I specifically booked through that airline because of their agreement with Jet Blue. Big mistake. I've called Jet Blue multiple times and been told "it takes a while". Really? That seems to be the best they can do. I have very little hope, after all this time and hassle, that I will ever see the points I'm owed.
