JetBlue now accepts Venmo payments to book flights — an airline first

JetBlue says travelers can now use Venmo to book flights, making it the first carrier to accept purchases through the payment app.

The option to pay for flights with Venmo is now available on the carrier's website and will roll out on JetBlue's mobile app in coming months, the New York-based airline announced on Tuesday. 

U.S. customers can purchase flights using their Venmo balance or linked bank accounts, debit cards or credit cards when booking travel, JetBlue stated.
