JetBlue doesn’t belong to one of the major airline alliances, but instead, the airline has a variety of partnerships with individual airlines. Some of these are basic interline agreements, while others feature loyalty reciprocity.

I am happy about this new addition! As a German/American that travels frequently between the east coast and Germany this will give me another option to look at when looking for award flights. I had previously credited paid Condor flights to my Alaska account but since those points are somewhat hard to come by and since they don't allow any transfers in from Amex, Chase or C1 this new partnership opens up lots of options. I do wonder how this will play out in the long-term since JetBlue is looking to partner with United and United is married to Lufthansa. What do you think Ben?
Sorry to see this. I assume Condor flights booked with Alaska points will no longer be as easily available for my family. Oh well. An ever changing game.
Exactly my thought. But honestly, there is an oversupply of Alaska miles too since June, yet, I see Condor flight available for everyday of next summer with 5+ seats available in biz class, so I don't think this would be that much of an issue.
Just booked this morning—54k FRA to JFK. (A good spend down of B6 miles for me, which I've previously had a hard time getting good value from.)
That’s not true. I have ticketed 5 seats for next July and changed dates for almost 2 weeks as availability on my preferred days opened up. In all case, my reservation ticketed, I can see it on Condor website and I have already selected seats.
It's wild to me that Jetblue is more than 25 years old, but only just now getting around to making its points redeemable on longhaul partners!
Thanks for highlighting this. I had no idea and I have been sitting on about 130,000 JetBlue points for 2 years since they stopped going direct from Atlanta anywhere. I just booked business class in January on a whim coming back on Air France. Nothing better than award travel. And they had plenty of availability.
