Contour Airlines and JetBlue have entered into a new interline agreement that expands connectivity across the United States and the Caribbean, effective immediately. The partnership allows travelers to book a single itinerary that includes flights operated by both airlines, with coordinated ticketing and through-checked baggage to the final destination.

What the Agreement Does

Under the new arrangement, customers can combine Contour and JetBlue flights on one booking, removing the need for separate tickets or baggage recheck during connections. The agreement gives Contour passengers access to JetBlue’s network of more than 100 destinations, while JetBlue customers gain new regional and secondary-market connections through Contour’s route map.

Contour currently serves more than thirty destinations across the United States and the Caribbean, many of them smaller or underserved markets that are not always directly connected to larger airline networks.

What the Airlines Are Saying

“Contour now serves over thirty destinations throughout the United States and in the Caribbean, and this represents a meaningful step forward in providing better accessibility to both residents of these communities and travelers looking to visit one of our many great destinations,” said Ben Munson, president of Contour Airlines.

JetBlue framed the agreement as part of its broader strategy to expand connectivity through partnerships. “Our new interline agreement with Contour Airlines reflects JetBlue’s continued commitment to expanding access and connectivity for our customers,” said Dave Jehn, vice president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue. “We’re pleased to bring together complementary strengths—Contour’s regional expertise and JetBlue’s award-winning service—to enhance the travel experience for customers of both airlines.”

How to Book

Tickets that combine Contour and JetBlue flights are now available through Contour’s booking channels as well as major travel agency platforms, making the new interline options immediately accessible to consumers.

For Caribbean-bound travelers and those flying into smaller U.S. markets, the partnership opens up new one-ticket routings that were previously more complicated or required separate bookings.

In the Caribbean, Contour’s current route map includes service linking Puerto Rico and the Eastern Caribbean, with flights between San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport and Dominica’s Douglas–Charles Airport, as well as service connecting St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands with Dominica. The airline has also added flights between San Juan and Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten, expanding its Caribbean footprint through point-to-point routes that connect smaller island markets with key regional gateways.
