American Airlines and
JetBlue have unveiled their initial plans for code-sharing and marketing cooperation on routes out of New York and Boston, a partnership they announced last summer. The two airlines didn’t have much to say about how the partnership will affect the New York-San Francisco market, which they both serve from JFK (and JetBlue also serves from Newark), except to note that customers will see “enhanced schedules” between the two cities. They offered more detail about their Los Angeles-New York plans, also served by both carriers from JFK and by JetBlue from Newark: “Customers will have the most choices 14 daily flights between the two carriers and will have access to (American’s) state-of-the art Airbus A321T aircraft or JetBlue’s A321 aircraft featuring Mint,” they said.

A lot is changing at Reagan National Airport, and one of the new additions will be an American Express Centurion passenger lounge, the first non-airline passenger lounge at the airport.
Reagan National will be the 16th U.S. airport to have a Centurion Lounge.
The 11,500-square-foot lounge will open by the end of 2022.
Use of the lounge is exclusive for American Express Platinum Card members, Centurion Members and passengers who have a Delta SkyMiles Reserve card. Centurion members can bring up to two guests in their immediate family free of charge. Delta SkyMiles Reserve card members can bring up to two guests for $50 per person.
