JetBlue has formed a partnership with Virgin Atlantic that will allow customers to fly on both airlines with a single ticket.
The company announced that travelers on JetBlue will be able to connect through Boston, New York, Washington to catch flights to London Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic. JetBlue customers connecting in Orlando will be able to fly to London’s Gatwick airport, Manchester, England and Glasgow, Scotland.
Travelers can connect from London, Glasgow and Manchester on Virgin Atlantic onward to JetBlue’s domestic services serving destinations such as Baltimore, Md.; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; San Diego; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Tampa, Fla.
"With its focus on cultivating a distinctive brand and creating a customer experience that travelers prefer, Virgin Atlantic shares a similar philosophy with JetBlue,” said Scott Resnick, JetBlue’s director of airline partnerships.
“This partnership will offer Virgin Atlantic passengers a streamlined journey between our three UK airports and many cities across the US and Puerto Rico,” said Edmond Rose, director of commercial and revenue planning for Virgin Atlantic
Passengers can purchase the JetBlue-Virgin Atlantic flights beginning this week, the airline announced.
