(NewsNation) — JetBlue recently announced it has become the first airline to allow travelers to pay through Venmo.
The feature is currently available on the company’s website and will soon be available on the JetBlue mobile app.
U.S. customers can purchase flights using their Venmo balance or linked bank accounts, debit cards or credit cards when booking flights, according to the company.

“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 at PayPal, in a press release. “The added ability to pay with Venmo for flights on JetBlue and manage travel costs during the trip through Groups helps solve the pain points of shared expenses from the time of booking to returning home.”
Venmo was founded in 2009 and has been owned by PayPal since 2013.
JetBlue offers flights to more than 100 destinations throughout the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada and Europe.
