NEW YORK, NY (WFSB) – A popular airline announced that it is the first to accept Venmo from customers.
JetBlue made the announcement on Tuesday.
It said by accepting Venmo, it now offers customers an easy and secure payment option when they book flights directly with JetBlue online.
As of Tuesday, the option was only available on jetblue.com. The airline said it would be available on its app in the coming months.
“We’re continually looking for ways to make it easier to book a JetBlue flight on our website and mobile app,” said Carol Clements, chief digital and technology officer, JetBlue. “Adding Venmo offers a seamless payment option for customers who enjoy the ease and convenience of the Venmo platform.”
Paypal, which owns Venmo, said the option will also help groups manage shared travel costs.
“Travel is not just about the destination, but the people you go with and how you share the experience,” said John Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of consumer, PayPal. “The added ability to pay with Venmo for flights on JetBlue and manage travel costs during the trip through [Venmo] Groups helps solve the pain points of shared expenses from the time of booking to returning home.”
