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 announced Tuesday that it will start accepting Venmo as a payment option on its website, becoming the first airline to do so.

This week, announced it’ll begin accepting Venmo, offering a quick and easy way to pay for flights. The option is available now on jetblue.com and will be on the airline’s mobile app in the following months.
