Alaska vs JetBlue: Which Airline App is Better for Day-of Travel?

Two passenger-favorite airlines, two solid apps

Alaska and JetBlue routinely rank near the top of US passenger surveys. Their apps are equally well-regarded — but each has clear strengths.

Alaska Airlines app

• Best-in-class mileage management for Mileage Plan.
• Clean upgrade list integrated into the boarding pass screen.
• Solid bag tracking on most domestic routes.

JetBlue app

• Bright, fast, and easy to navigate.
• TrueBlue points and Mosaic perks well-surfaced.
• Strong in-flight entertainment integration; pre-order and stream from your seat.

Where both fall short

Both apps are reactive — they tell you what already happened. For predictive delay alerts that fire before either airline knows there's a problem, FlightyFlow is a useful companion.
