Hawaiian/JetBlue interline/FF deal to be announced today (23 Jan 12)
Hawaiian Airlines and JetBlue will announce today a partnership for both travel and their frequent flyer programs. The deal comes on the heels of the recent announcement of new service by Hawaiian Airlines with the upcoming launch of non-stop service between New York’s JFK and Honolulu. While the Hawaiian service doesn’t start up until June, the deal will start sooner, with the carriers routing passengers via Los Angeles for one stop service on interline itineraries.
Full details are not yet known but the formal announcement is expected later today.

VERY nice, though still no real details.
Hawaiian and JetBlue have reached a preliminary agreement to allow members of each carrier's frequent flyer program to earn and redeem loyalty points or miles for travel on either carrier. Under this agreement JetBlue's TrueBlue members will soon be able to accrue points on any Hawaiian-operated flight, while HawaiianMiles members will be able to earn miles on any JetBlue-operated flights. Similarly, frequent fliers will be able to redeem their points or miles for travel on either carrier's network, bringing new, much-requested destinations to each program's loyal members.

Looks like HA 50 gets in at 06:55 AM and HA 51 departs JFK at 10:00 AM so looks like lots of connection combos are possible. The ability to earn TrueBlue points on HA and Hawaiian miles on jetBlue makes this really attractive.
According to a tweet from Dave Barger, looks like the HA A330s will pull up at either gates 12 or 14.

Nice to see the first airline partner coming online for TrueBlue. Hopefully some international partners will be added soon.

Don't think TrueBlue could possibly give me enough points to get me on an AA plane for a long haul flight...or a short haul one for that matter. As mentioned above the redemption is the key and the Hawaiian deal represents to first true airline FF partner for B6.

AA has some reciprocal earning but no reciprocal redemption and the agreement only applies on specific routes.
The HA agreement will apply to both earning and redemption and across all routes. Plus, pending government approval, HA will be putting their code on some B6 flights. The HA partnership is groundbreaking for JetBlue in many ways.

All but two of the partners are interline only. No codesharing, no FF reciprocity and no fare benefits (through flights are simply priced as OAL fare + B6 fare).

As for now, the airline partner page is nothing more than cheap advertisement for the airlines mentioned.

Any word on when the FF benefits/reciprocity are going to take effect? I see that you can book through to Hawaii on the JetBlue website, but if you choose "Points" for booking and "HNL" as a destination, you receive a message telling you that this cannot be done.
Also, there is nothing about earning points on Hawaiian Airlines yet on the website.

My understanding is that earning reciprocity is going to come before redemption reciprocity but I don't know about when for either or if the plans on that have changed since I last heard about it.
I'm hoping that it happens before the JFK-HNL inaugural on the 5th. I'd like to park those points in TrueBlue rather than orphan them in HawaiianMiles.
