JetBlue (JBLU) is now accepting Venmo (PYPL) as a payment option for flights booked on its website, making it the first airline to do so, the company announced on Tuesday.

JetBlue has become the first airline to accept Venmo for flight bookings, offering travelers a seamless payment option via the JetBlue app.

JetBlue has been updating its services recently, including adding features to its app like a boarding countdown and gate information, CNN reported. It is also bringing back nonstop flights between Pittsburgh and New York City after cutting several unprofitable routes last year.

Venmo is an easy way to pay, but credit card holders might not receive extra bonus points for the transaction.

Venmo payment options are available on JetBlue website, and will roll out on carrier's mobile app in coming months.

JetBlue marks the latest in a growing number of companies, including online merchants like Amazon and eBay and brick-and-mortar stores like CVS, that have started accepting Venmo as a payment method.

JetBlue has announced it is the first airline to accept Venmo as a payment option when you book online. Whether you’re using your Venmo balance, a linked bank account, or even a credit card, paying for your flight just got a whole lot easier.

"The added ability to pay with Venmo for flights on JetBlue and manage travel costs during the trip through Groups helps solve the pain points of shared expenses from the time of booking to returning home," PayPal's John Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of consumer, said in a statement.
