JetBlue makes it easy to book travel with Paisly

JetBlue launched a new travel site Thursday (March 25) designed to allow customers who have purchased a flight on the airline to book the remainder of their trip.
The site, known as Paisly, uses customers’ flight information to make personalized suggestions on things like hotels, car rentals, or theme parks. The airline plans to add more hotels, vacation rentals and other activities in the coming months as it finds partners to match its mission.
âTravelers want the peace of mind knowing their travel provider will take care of them, which is why Paisly is 100% backed by JetBlue and a team of real people ready to help when needed. “Said Andres Barry, president of JetBlue Travel Products, in a press release. “Our handpicked partners think about customer service like we do, and work with us to make planning a trip much easier.”
The site takes its name from variations of paisley patterns, to symbolize “how Paisly’s travel suggestions are unique to each client and their needs”.
Last year, JetBlue announced a partnership with Goldman Sachs’ MarcusPay, an instant credit app that offers loans from $ 750 to $ 10,000 through streamlined and accelerated apps.
With MarcusPay, JetBlue made it possible for travelers to buy tickets now and pay for them later, expanding an earlier offering offering BNPL options for hotels and airline tickets through JetBlue Vacations.
JetBlue’s announcement comes at a time as airlines are struggling to recover from a catastrophic 2020, which has seen air travel drop 60% due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier this week, the United States Transportation Security Administration recorded 1.5 million passenger checks, the highest number of Americans traveling by air since the start of the pandemic. According to TSA figures, 1,543,115 travelers were screened on March 21, more than double the number screened on the same day in 2020 but still well below the 2.2 million passengers who flew that day in 2019 .
