Aug 12, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- WU | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- JetBlue Airways and The Western Union Company have entered into an agreement that aims to provide customers with an easy cash payment option for purchasing flights when they book their travel reservations via JetBlue's website or 800-JetBlue and select the money transfer service.

Western Union has said that the customers can now visit any participating Western Union agent location following their booking to send a full payment of their JetBlue reservation and Western Union service fee in cash. Through a direct link to the low-fare, high-frills airline's system, Western Union can confirm a JetBlue reservation until midnight the following day.

Our relationship with Western Union is a great example of how we can provide greater flexibility and more options for new customers to choose JetBlue for their travel needs. Paying with cash has never been easier."
