Take to the Skies for America’s 250th Birthday with JetBlue | WeSalute Spotlight
Now that the nation has commemorated its historic 250th birthday, the festivities are extending far beyond backyard barbecues and local parades. Airlines are taking the celebration directly to the skies, and our longtime partner JetBlue is leading the charge with an inspiring, high-flying tribute to our nation's legacy and the service members who protected it.
At WeSalute, our mission is built on delivering A Real Thank YouⓇ to those who serve our country and communities. We take immense pride in aligning with partner brands that share this core dedication, which is why we are shining a light on JetBlue's spectacular new aircraft tribute alongside the premier flight rewards available to our members this summer.
What is the JetBlue 'Vets in Blue' Special Addition for America's 250th?
JetBlue is commemorating this summer's historic milestone by introducing a special, limited-edition update to its iconic "Vets in Blue" aircraft livery. This specialized plane acts as a striking, flying tribute to 250 years of American independence.
The custom design is a direct nod to the veterans, active-duty service members, and military families whose unwavering dedication and sacrifice continue to inspire the nation. Whether it is taxiing down the runway or cruising at 35,000 feet, this aircraft stands as a visible reminder of gratitude across JetBlue's entire flight network.

Where Can You Find JetBlue Military Discounts and Travel Perks?
If you are planning a trip to see the major historical celebrations along the East Coast, or simply flying home to be with family, you can bypass standard retail airfare rates. We help you navigate JetBlue's primary travel channels to ensure you maximize your savings, baggage allowances, and comfort across their extensive network of over 100 destinations.
- JetBlue Active-Duty Leisure Travel: To make sure our serving members never miss a perk, we proudly highlight JetBlue's direct military travel program. This channel allows U.S. active-duty military personnel, National Guard, reserve members, and their immediate family dependents to receive a 5% discount on base fares for leisure travel. When traveling for fun, the service member and dependents on the same reservation each receive two complimentary checked bags (up to 50 lbs. each). If your summer travel happens to be on official duty orders, JetBlue expands this benefit significantly, allowing you and your traveling dependents to bring up to five free checked bags (up to 99 lbs. each) at no charge.
- JetBlue Benefits with WeSalute+: Built exclusively for veterans, retired military, and their family members enrolled in WeSalute+, this premium benefit delivers a 5% everyday discount on base fares with absolutely zero blackout dates. The discount even extends to JetBlue’s luxurious coast-to-coast Mint® suites, featuring premium flat-bed seats. To maximize your vacation budget, this perk includes two free checked bags per passenger — saving a family up to $200 on a standard round-trip flight. Because these savings must be redeemed through a live agent, JetBlue completely waives its standard $25 phone reservation booking fee for verified members.
