Cape Air Plane At Nevis Airport
Travelers exploring the Caribbean now have a new way to earn and redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points while island-hopping throughout the region. A newly expanded agreement between JetBlue and regional airline Cape Air allows passengers to collect TrueBlue points when flying on Cape Air routes across the Caribbean.
This partnership makes it easier for travelers to turn short regional flights into valuable rewards, adding even more incentive to explore multiple islands during a single trip.
How the JetBlue and Cape Air Partnership Works
The ability to earn TrueBlue points on Cape Air flights is made possible through a long-standing code-share agreement between the two airlines. To qualify for points, travelers must book Cape Air flights directly through JetBlue’s website or mobile app.
When booked this way, eligible flights earn TrueBlue points just like a standard JetBlue itinerary. Travelers can also redeem TrueBlue points for select Cape Air flights, adding flexibility when planning Caribbean travel.
Booking Requirements to Earn Points
To ensure TrueBlue points are earned correctly, travelers should keep the following in mind:
- Flights must be booked on JetBlue’s website or mobile app
- The itinerary must include Cape Air-operated segments
- The booking must be ticketed under the JetBlue code-share
Booking directly with Cape Air without using JetBlue’s platform does not qualify for earning or redeeming TrueBlue points.
A Longstanding Airline Partnership
JetBlue and Cape Air have worked together for 17 years, connecting JetBlue’s broad route network with Cape Air’s extensive Caribbean service. Cape Air was JetBlue’s first-ever codeshare partner, making the relationship one of the longest-running collaborations in JetBlue’s history.
Over the years, the partnership has helped travelers reach smaller Caribbean destinations that are not always served by larger aircraft, while maintaining a seamless booking and travel experience.
Seamless Connections to Caribbean Destinations
One of the key benefits of the expanded partnership is the ability to book a single itinerary from a JetBlue departure city directly to a Cape Air destination. Travelers can fly from JetBlue-served cities in the United States and connect smoothly onto Cape Air flights serving smaller islands.
Popular Caribbean destinations available through the codeshare include:
- Vieques
- Anguilla
- St Thomas
- Other regional Caribbean islands served by Cape Air
Another advantage of the codeshare arrangement is through-checked baggage. Luggage can be checked at the departure airport and transferred automatically to the final destination, eliminating the need to recheck bags during island connections.
Added Value for Caribbean Travelers
The expanded TrueBlue earning opportunity adds value for travelers who frequently visit the Caribbean for work, leisure, or family travel. Island-hopping often involves short flights between neighboring destinations, and these segments can now contribute toward future JetBlue rewards.
Cape Air leadership highlighted that the expanded partnership is designed to benefit people who live, work, and vacation in some of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations. By combining JetBlue’s loyalty program with Cape Air’s regional reach, travelers gain more flexibility and reward potential.
More Reasons to Explore the Caribbean
The Caribbean is known for its diversity, with each island offering its own culture, cuisine, and landscapes. The ability to earn and redeem TrueBlue points on regional flights makes it easier to explore multiple destinations in one trip while earning rewards for future travel.
For JetBlue loyalists and Caribbean travelers alike, the expanded JetBlue and Cape Air partnership creates a smoother and more rewarding way to experience island-hopping across the region.
