You may have read a couple of weeks ago that Spirit Airlines has agreed to be acquired by JetBlue in a $3.8 billion merger. JetBlue, a Veterans Advantage exclusive partner since 2014, will become one of America’s top five airlines.

With our exclusive 5% OFF + free bags combined offer, we’ll no doubt be able to offer more for our members and at tremendous value. “With a larger footprint, the combined airline will bring JetBlue’s low fares and much-loved award-winning onboard service to more customers and communities,” JetBlue.com said in a statement at the end of July.

After closing, the combined JetBlue/Spirit airline network will offer 1700+ daily flights to 125+ destinations—and the low fares and award-winning service Veterans Advantage members have grown to love since 2014. Stay tuned for more updates!

Military & Veterans Life Scott's View: Honoring Our Sacred Anniversaries and the Legacy of Service As the days of August shorten and we look toward September, my thoughts always turn to reflection, history, and gratitude. This season is a deeply meaningful time for our country — a period marked by milestones that defined our nation's birth, secured global peace, and tested our national resolve in the modern era. Today, I want to step away from our regular platform updates to focus entirely on these critical anniversaries, honoring the generations of patriots who have kept us free.
