Customers can now download JetBlue's app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch on the App Store. The updated version of JetBlue's Android handset app is available in the Google Play Store.
"Our friendly crewmembers have always made JetBlue stand out from every other airline, and we recognize that customers today want the same great experience when they interact with our technology," said Maryssa Miller, director digital commerce, JetBlue. "Our enhanced suite of mobile apps brings customers useful features they need, which also frees up our crewmembers to focus on adding the personal touch that makes the JetBlue experience so special."
