JetBlue is in the early stages of building an airport lounge network and has just opened the doors to its first BlueHouse lounge. This brand-new lounge is unmistakably JetBlue. If you’re eligible for access, it's well worth a visit before your flight.
Here’s everything you need to know about JetBlue’s BlueHouse airport lounges, including where they’re located, how to access them, and what you’ll find inside.

What's a JetBlue BlueHouse?
JetBlue calls its airport lounges “BlueHouses.” Each lounge is packed with amenities for eligible guests, and almost everything (including the decor) reflects the city where it’s located.
Inside, you’ll find complimentary Wi-Fi, a selection of hot and cold food items, bars with curated beverage menus, dedicated areas for work and entertainment, private restrooms, and more.
JetBlue first unveiled plans for two airport lounges in late 2024, and worked quickly to bring the first to fruition.
JetBlue BlueHouse Lounge Locations
There are two JetBlue BlueHouse lounges in the United States. The first, at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), opened on December 18, 2025. The second, at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), is under construction and expected to open by mid-2026.

New York (JFK)
The first JetBlue BlueHouse lounge opened at JFK on December 18, 2025. This two-story lounge spans roughly 9,000 square feet and is a welcome addition to Terminal 5.
The lounge is located across from Gate 526 and is open daily from 5 am to 10 pm.
On the lower level, travelers can enjoy a game room, help themselves to a selection of self-serve food options, grab a drink from the bar, or simply relax. The beverage program is one of the lounge’s best features, as JetBlue partnered with The Greats of Craft, Joe Coffee, and Please Don’t Tell to curate the menu.
Upstairs, you’ll find another bar and a large self-serve station with food, snacks, water, and coffee. The main draw of the upper level, though, is its quieter atmosphere, which makes it a better spot to work or unwind before boarding.

Coming soon: Boston (BOS)
JetBlue is in the process of bringing its BlueHouse lounge concept to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). Travelers can expect a Boston-themed BlueHouse to open its doors in Terminal C around mid-2026.
How to Access JetBlue BlueHouse Lounges
There are only three ways to access JetBlue BlueHouse lounges. And the rules are intentionally strict to prevent crowding while encouraging travelers to earn top-tier Mosaic status, fly JetBlue’s most premium cabins, or apply for its premium credit card.
Hold TrueBlue Mosaic 4 status
Access to BlueHouse lounges is complimentary for members with JetBlue’s top-tier TrueBlue elite status, Mosaic 4.
After earning 250 tiles, you’ll unlock complimentary access to BlueHouse lounges for yourself plus one eligible travel companion. Additional guests (beyond the included one guest) cost $39 per person.
Passengers traveling on JetBlue Blue Basic tickets are excluded from lounge access.

Fly transatlantic Mint business class
JetBlue offers its Mint business class on transatlantic routes, as well as select domestic flights and service to the Caribbean and South America. However, only passengers flying Mint on transatlantic routes receive access to BlueHouse lounges.
Transatlantic Mint passengers don’t receive complimentary guest access, but they can bring companions on the same itinerary for $39 per person if those companions aren’t also flying in transatlantic Mint.
From New York (JFK), JetBlue operates A321neo aircraft with Mint cabins to Dublin (DUB), Edinburgh (EDI), London (LHR), and Paris (CDG).
Passengers traveling on JetBlue Blue Basic tickets are excluded from lounge access.
Carry the JetBlue Premier Card
Only one credit card offers unlimited access to JetBlue’s BlueHouse lounges: the JetBlue Premier Card.
The JetBlue Premier Card carries a $499 annual fee and is issued by Barclays. In addition to complimentary BlueHouse access, cardholders earn 6X points on JetBlue purchases, receive a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership, get 5,000 points each year after their card account anniversary, and more.
JetBlue Premier Card cardholders can bring one guest for free, with additional guests costing $39 each.
Passengers traveling on JetBlue Blue Basic tickets are excluded from lounge access.

Future changes to BlueHouse access policies
When JetBlue unveiled its BlueHouse lounge at New York (JFK), executives teased that changes to lounge access policies could be coming in February 2026.
If space allows, JetBlue may begin offering limited access passes to lower-tier Mosaic members, non-transatlantic Mint passengers, and other JetBlue credit cardholders.

Bottom Line
After years of JetBlue flyers asking for an airport lounge, the New York-based carrier finally delivered. Travelers can now visit a New York-themed BlueHouse lounge at JFK. But it won't be the carrier's only lounge, as a second location in Boston is expected to open around mid-2026.
