JetBlue is the first airline to accept payments from the peer-to-peer payment app, which is owned by PayPal. Like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal itself, Venmo lets you complete a transaction without having to dig out your credit card or input your financial details into the website.

JetBlue announced this week that it will now accept Venmo payments, a first for the airline industry. The new arrangement has many advantages but also a few uncertainties, especially for travelers who live for their credit card’s bonus points.

Venmo payment options are the latest announcement in a broader effort from JetBlue to enhance its services and boost profits. The struggling low-cost carrier has searched for new revenue streams as larger airlines introduce their own budget options, increasing competition for those flyers.

Venmo payment options are available on JetBlue website, and will roll out on carrier's mobile app in coming months.

JetBlue has announced it is the first airline to accept Venmo as a payment option when you book online. Whether you’re using your Venmo balance, a linked bank account, or even a credit card, paying for your flight just got a whole lot easier.

JetBlue now allows U.S. customers to pay for flights using Venmo, providing a seamless option through jetblue.com, with mobile app integration coming soon. This move aims to enhance convenience for travelers, according to the airline.

"We're continually looking for ways to make it easier to book a JetBlue flight on our website and mobile app."
