A new American Airlines and JetBlue partnership will allow the airlines to sell seats on each other’s flights and share frequent flyer benefits.

This kind of alliance is common among international carriers, which face limits on where they can fly in each other’s respective countries. It’s less common, but not unheard of, for two domestic airlines that compete against one another.
