Expanded Partnership Connects Even More
Destinations on a Single Ticket
JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) today announced it has expanded its
existing partnership with Hawaiian Airlines through a bilateral
codeshare agreement. JetBlue is placing its ‘B6’ code on nonstop
flights operated by Hawaiian Airlines between New York (JFK) and
Honolulu (HNL). The ‘B6’ code is also available on select
connecting flights from JetBlue’s east coast network to Honolulu
via Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and Las Vegas (LAS) and
onward to Hawaiian’s neighbor island network to destinations
including Maul (OGG), Kona (KOA) and Lihue (LIH). Additionally,
Hawaiian’s ‘HA’ code, which has been on select JetBlue flights
since 2012, is expanding to additional destinations in JetBlue’s
growing network.
Customers purchasing a codeshare itinerary will benefit from
having a single ticket that includes both Hawaiian and
JetBlue-operated flights as well as conveniences on their day of
travel like one-stop check-in and baggage transfer.
“JetBlue and Hawaiian have been consistently strengthening our
relationship since we first partnered nearly four years ago so that
we can offer the best travel benefits to our customers,” said Scott
Laurence, senior vice president airline planning, JetBlue. “This
latest step makes it easier than ever to book seamless travel,
connect across our diverse networks of destinations and earn
loyalty points anywhere our airlines fly.”
Hawaiian offers flights between Hawaii and 11 U.S. mainland
airports, including JetBlue’s home at the award-winning T5 at John
F. Kennedy International Airport. Hawaiian Airlines operates the
only year-round, non-stop flight between Hawaii and JFK, offering
convenient connections within the same terminal to JetBlue flights
across the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America.
“We are pleased to expand our partnership with JetBlue to create
more choices for travelers coming to the Hawaiian Islands or those
seeking easy connections to destinations beyond our key gateways on
the Mainland,” said Peter Ingram, executive vice president and
chief commercial officer for Hawaiian Airlines.
Hawaiian and JetBlue also offer members of each carrier's
loyalty program the opportunity to earn and redeem points or miles
for travel on either carrier. JetBlue's TrueBlue members can accrue
points on Hawaiian-operated flights, while HawaiianMiles members
can earn miles on JetBlue-operated flights. Similarly, frequent
fliers can redeem their points or miles for travel on either
carrier's network, creating a long list of destinations for each
program's loyal members.
JetBlue is known for its award-winning service featuring the
most legroom in coach (a); free Fly-Fi, the fastest broadband
internet in the sky; complimentary and unlimited name-brand snacks
and soft drinks; free, live DIRECTV® programming and 100+

been embraced by travelers for its celebration of the culture,

signature service as the gold standard in leisure air travel and
the only authentic Hawai'i experience.
