Boston Globe and Herald reports interline with Hainan and Iberia???
Hello all,
Two recent stories in Boston have Jetblue interlining with Hainan and Iberia.
Iberia makes sense since they are part of IAG with British Airways who is already interlining.
Hainan is completely logical as well. However, was this misinformation by the local media?

If/as this reveals itself as a strategy, I hope JetBlue will run with it, including reciprocal mileage. And that British Airways will emerge as a principal part of it. Because I just can't see American having a continuing interest in mileage reciprocity with JetBlue as a feeder for BOS and JFK.
ETA: I do see the flaw in my reasoning. If the arrangement is of no interest to AA, why would it be of interest to BA?

Oh, I would love this, but Seth keeps saying that, basically, "never the twain shall meet," between JetBlue and Star, or at least UA, as far as that conversation has gone.
