JetBlue and United Airlines are reportedly close to some form of partnership that would at least include frequent-flyer reciprocity.

JetBlue is reportedly discussing a potential partnership with United Airlines after its planned Northeast Alliance with American Airlines failed. The Department of Justice sued to block the alliance between the two airlines in 2021, characterizing it as anti-competitive.

With news that JetBlue is expected to announce its next major airline partnership in the coming months, speculation over which airline that will be — and what it will mean for frequent flyers — is swirling.
