JetBlue and TAM interline?
I saw an announcement a year or so ago that JB and TAM agreed to an interline arrangement where you could ticket between the lines, for example, JetBlue to Orlando, TAM to GRU.
When I tried a couple of options, most came up empty - the only one that showed was actually on AA metal out of jfk, not JB.
I actually was hoping for RIC-MCO-GRU, as JB services RIC-MCO, but that doesn't work when input on the JB web site.
Am I missing something? Is there any actual alliance at all? (And why wouldn't the alliance, if any, be with Brazil's Azul airline, founded by JB's founder?)

On matrix.itasoftware.com, I was able to put together itineraries for BOS-MCO/JFK-GRU on a B6/JJ ticket but was unable to do so on www.tam.com.br
I couldn't get a connection made on ITA's site even though it looks like you should be able to make one on the trip to GRU. Going home would require 14 hour layover in MCO. You may want to call a travel agent!
Heading to Sao Paolo
RIC-MCO
7:45 AM-9:43 AM
MCO-GRU
10:55am-8:30pm or 9:15PM-6:45AM
Return
GRU-MCO
1:20AM - 9:10AM or 11:10AM-7:10PM
MCO-RIC
9:41 AM -11:36 AM
Azul airlines is a domestic Brazilian airline. They do not fly to anywhere JetBlue flies right now.
