( CNN ) -- Want to combine your frequent flier points with friends and family to earn free flights faster ? JetBlue Airways will now allow members of its TrueBlue loyalty program to register as a family to share loyalty points within a designated group . `` It 's a GREAT way for family and friends to combine points so they can earn a free ticket a lot easier and quicker , '' aviation blogger Johnny `` Jet '' DiScala wrote in an e-mail . `` I wish the other airlines would do the same . '' Adult TrueBlue members can sign up for family pooling , including one other grownup and up to five children who are also members . Each family member can decide what percentage of their points to contribute to the family account . From there , the chosen `` head of household '' can monitor the family 's account and redeem points at JetBlue . Members can join only one JetBlue `` family . '' JetBlue executives may be trying to strengthen a loyalty program that does n't have as many airline partner options as traditional carriers . JetBlue lists American Airlines , Hawaiian Airlines , Aer Lingus and Emirates among its loyalty partners . In contrast , United Airlines lists 28 worldwide Star Alliance airline partners in its MileagePlus program . Delta Air Lines SkyMiles Award Travel program lists 26 worldwide partner airlines . TrueBlue allows members to use points for any seat on any JetBlue operated flight with no blackout dates , and its points do n't expire . And while other airlines allow loyalty program members to transfer miles , they often charge a fee for the service . JetBlue 's upgrades have n't stopped there . The airline is also moving to make its cross-country service between New York City and its West Coast cities San Francisco and Los Angeles more attractive for business class travelers . It announced its new premium `` Mint '' seating last month . Starting next summer and fall , certain flights between New York and the two West Coast cities will start offering fully flat beds , private suites , dual power outlets with USB ports , amenity kits and a tapas menu .
JetBlue is now allowing family members to earn their points . The company already has no blackout or set dates for redeeming points . Air ##line advocates applauded the move to make points easier to earn .
