JetBlue Airways is jumping 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). In 2026, a lounge at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is expected to follow. Airline officials have said they are also weighing 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 has unveiled its first-ever lounge 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. That means the upcoming lounge in Boston — expected to open in the second half of 2026 and span 11,000 square feet — will likely have its own unique localized design.
Here's what each location will have in common: three distinct areas, focused on play, work and lounging.
The play area will include a full-service bar with mixologists who will serve up complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. The work zone will feature private work areas with free Wi-Fi, plenty of outlets and free coffee drinks made by a barista. Finally, the lounge area will have complimentary food and drink options with seating areas for both solo and group travelers.
Who can access JetBlue lounges?
To avoid overcrowding, JetBlue is prioritizing lounge access for its most loyal flyers and those who hold its premium credit card.
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 traveling on a transatlantic flight.
- JetBlue Premier Card holders. One guest allowed.
To bring in additional guests beyond your allowance, you'll need to pay $39 per person. 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.
Starting in February 2026, JetBlue will also sell limited access passes if availability allows. To purchase a pass, you must be a Mosaic 1-3 elite, hold an eligible JetBlue credit card or be flying in non-transatlantic Mint business class. Customers will also be able to purchase an annual membership, although JetBlue hasn't released any additional details regarding that program.
