American and JetBlue announced the launch of a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement, effective Nov. 18, which allows members of American’s AAdvantage program and JetBlue’s TrueBlue customer loyalty program to earn AAdvantage miles or TrueBlue points, respectively, in select markets.
In addition, the commercial agreement announced in March 2010 has been expanded to include one new American international market — Budapest, Hungary — and nine new JetBlue domestic markets. Passengers will be able to connect on flights to a total of 15 of American’s international destinations departing from New York’s Kennedy International and Boston Logan, including Barcelona, Spain; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Tokyo, Japan; and 26 JetBlue domestic markets, including Portland, Maine; Rochester, N.Y.; or Richmond, Va., the carriers said in a statement.
