JetBlue is taking a bold leap into the world of premium travel, unveiling plans to open its first-ever airport lounges. Known for its customer-friendly approach as a low-cost carrier, JetBlue is now setting its sights on a more exclusive experience. In late 2025, the airline will debut lounges at New York’s JFK Terminal 5 and Boston Logan’s Terminal C. This move marks a significant shift in JetBlue’s strategy as it caters to its growing base of top-tier customers, particularly those flying its popular Mint cabin on transatlantic routes.
JetBlue isn’t just opening standard airport lounges—they’re creating spaces with personality. The lounges will be divided into three distinct areas to meet the diverse needs of travellers:
- Play: For those looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy entertainment in a comfortable setting.
- Work: A dedicated area for travellers who need to stay productive, offering private workstations with fast, free WiFi.
- Lounge: For those who simply want to take a break and enjoy the atmosphere, this area offers quiet comfort, food, and beverages.
In keeping with its commitment to customer satisfaction, JetBlue will provide complimentary snacks, beverages, and a full-service bar. Guests can expect local touches and regional artwork, ensuring each lounge maintains a connection to its city. And for the tech-savvy traveller, plenty of charging outlets will be available throughout the spaces.
JetBlue’s new lounges are designed with exclusivity in mind, primarily catering to its most loyal customers. Those eligible for access include:
- Top-tier Mosaic members: JetBlue’s loyalty program members at the highest level will enjoy the new lounges as a perk of their status.
- Mint cabin travellers: Passengers flying in JetBlue’s premium Mint cabin, particularly on transatlantic routes, will be granted access.
- New Premium Credit Card holders: JetBlue plans to launch a new premium credit card, with lounge access as one of its key benefits.
For those who don’t fall into these categories, JetBlue will offer annual memberships and day passes, though access will be limited to prevent overcrowding. This thoughtful approach will ensure the lounges maintain a premium atmosphere, avoiding the all-too-common issue of packed spaces at many airport lounges.
JetBlue’s foray into the lounge experience is more than just a perk for frequent flyers—it’s a signal that the airline is serious about competing in the premium travel space. By combining its signature customer-first ethos with an elevated in-lounge experience, JetBlue aims to redefine what it means to fly with a low-cost carrier.
For travellers passing through JFK or Boston Logan starting in late 2025, JetBlue’s new lounges will offer a fresh take on airport comfort—where local flavour meets modern amenities. Whether you’re a loyal Mosaic member or flying in the luxurious Mint cabin, you’ll soon be able to enjoy the perks of premium travel, JetBlue-style.
