Now, JetBlue is expanding that partnership in a big way: TrueBlue members can finally redeem points for award flights on Icelandair.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick look at the award rates JetBlue is charging for Icelandair flights \u2014 and at some of the destinations you can explore using points.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"New_Redeem_JetBlue_TrueBlue_Points_for_Icelandair_Flights\">New: Redeem JetBlue TrueBlue Points for Icelandair Flights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to redeem <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/jetblue-trueblue\/\" rel=\"noopener\">JetBlue TrueBlue<\/a> points is for partner travel, so it\u2019s especially exciting that you can now use points for Icelandair award flights. As of this morning, we're seeing availability to fly to (and through) Icelandair\u2019s hub at Keflav\u00edk International Airport using TrueBlue points.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to save on a trip to Iceland or beyond, this is a pretty big deal. Redemptions from the U.S. East Coast (plus Minneapolis and Chicago) to Iceland start at just 17,000 JetBlue points in economy plus $102.10 in taxes\/fees \u2014 or 69,600 points in Saga business class. Redemptions from the West Coast cost roughly twice as many points.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_203945\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/312\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-203945 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF.png\" alt=\"JetBlue award on Icelandair -- JFK to KEF\" width=\"750\" height=\"312\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF.png 1902w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF-1024x425.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF-768x319.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ICE_JFKKEF-1536x638.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: JetBlue<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204226\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/369\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-204226 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Icelandair-JFK-KEF-17k-JetBlue-redemption-checkout-300x148.png\" alt=\"Screenshot showing JetBlue TrueBlue redemption from New York to Iceland on Icelandair\" width=\"750\" height=\"369\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Icelandair-JFK-KEF-17k-JetBlue-redemption-checkout-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Icelandair-JFK-KEF-17k-JetBlue-redemption-checkout-1024x504.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Icelandair-JFK-KEF-17k-JetBlue-redemption-checkout-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Icelandair-JFK-KEF-17k-JetBlue-redemption-checkout.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: JetBlue<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>You can also add a connection to several European destinations \u2014 like Dublin, Paris, or Amsterdam \u2014 for a fairly reasonable additional number of miles.
