JetBlue Airways has jumped into the airport lounge game, opening its own lounge network dubbed BlueHouse.
The first lounge location opened in December 2025 at Terminal 5 of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), followed by a second one in August 2026 at Terminal C of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). Airline officials have said they are exploring a third location at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in Florida.
The lounges are part of JetBlue’s plan to address the growing demand for premium offerings, which will also include the introduction of a domestic first class cabin in 2026.
Here’s everything you need to know about JetBlue’s lounges and how to get in.
What are JetBlue’s lounges like?
JetBlue's first-ever lounge opened in New York, where the carrier is headquartered, and it lives up to its BlueHouse name. The design is unmistakably JetBlue, with tons of blue throughout the 9,000-square-foot space inspired by a New York Art Deco residential apartment.
However, JetBlue executives said that passengers should expect BlueHouse lounges to match the city in which they're located, rather than follow a cookie-cutter approach.
The BlueHouse in Boston, which spans 12,000 square feet, pulls in elements of New England design, like wood-slatted features, and incorporates popular landmarks from the city, such as Fenway Park and the Boston Public Library.
Here's what the lounges do have in common: distinct spaces for different needs, focused on play, work and lounging.
The play area includes a full-service bar with mixologists who will serve up complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. The work zone offers private work areas with free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets (although there are outlets throughout the entire lounge). Finally, the lounge area features complimentary food and drink options with seating areas for both solo and group travelers.

Who can access JetBlue lounges?
To enter BlueHouse, you must have a same-day confirmed boarding pass for a JetBlue-operated flight. Guests must be 18 years or older unless accompanied by an adult. Travelers on Main Base or EvenMore Base fares will not be allowed in, even if they would otherwise qualify for complimentary access.
Access to the lounge is restricted to three hours prior to departure. That restriction does not apply to travelers with a layover between JetBlue-operated flights.
To avoid overcrowding, JetBlue is prioritizing lounge access for its most loyal flyers and those who hold its premium credit card.
Complimentary access
Here’s who can get into JetBlue lounges for free:
- TrueBlue Mosaic 4 members, JetBlue’s highest elite status tier. One guest allowed.
- Mint business class passengers on a standard or flex fare. No guests included.
- JetBlue Premier Card holders. One guest allowed.
To bring in additional guests beyond your allowance, you'll need to pay $39 per person.
Access via one-time passes
Passengers can also purchase a one-time pass at the BlueHouse desk if there is availability. To purchase a pass, you must be a Mosaic 1-3 elite or hold an eligible JetBlue credit card.
- Mosaic 3 members and eligible guests: $59 per person.
- Mosaic 1-2 members and eligible guests: $79 per person.
- JetBlue Plus Card and JetBlue Business Card holders: $79 per person.
The airline told NerdWallet it plans to roll out the ability to purchase digital passes online later this year, as well as annual passes.
