JetBlue plans to introduce its first-ever airport lounges to open at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in late 2025 and Boston Logan International (BOS) shortly thereafter. This move represents the airlines’ JetForward strategy looking to meet the growing demand for premium offerings.

At New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, JetBlue’s lounge in Terminal 5 will span 8,000 total square feet and 11,000 square feet at Boston Logan International Airport’s Terminal C. 

Both lounges will feature the airline’s iconic blue brand elements weaved together with local and regional artwork, personal touches and functional amenities, designed around three unique areas:

  • Play: JetBlue brings the ‘fun’ in functionality to the lounge experience. Customers can relax as mixologists shake and stir their favorite complimentary alcoholic 1 and non-alcoholic beverages at a full-service bar.
  • Work: Stay connected and charged with private workspaces featuring fast and free Wi-Fi, an abundance of outlets and free barista-made coffee bar beverages.
  • Lounge: Enjoy complimentary food and beverage offerings and enjoy comfortable, cozy seating areas.

The lounges will also come complete with the airline’s standard of customer service delivered by hospitality-trained crewmembers.

These new lounges will allow JetBlue to offer a valuable new Signature Perk to its top level TrueBlue Mosaic members and a benefit to the new JetBlue premium credit card to be announced soon.

“Customers have asked for a JetBlue lounge for years and we can’t wait to unveil our take in New York and Boston,” said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue. “Lounges have become an essential offering for the growing numbers of customers seeking premium experiences, and JetBlue’s lounges will further boost the value of our TrueBlue loyalty program as we expand our portfolio of JetBlue credit cards.”

JetBlue will enhance the experience of its two largest focus cities as it seeks to build the East Coast’s best leisure network as part of JetForward. When the lounges open, they will provide customers a relaxed retreat to play, work, and lounge as the airline expands its affordable premium experience from the sky to the ground.

Understanding that airport lounges have grown in popularity, which has resulted in overcrowding and long lines at other airline lounges, access to JetBlue’s lounges will be reserved primarily for its most loyal customers and premium credit cardmembers. 

Complimentary access to the lounges will be available to:

  • Holders of a new premium JetBlue credit card (details soon to be announced)
  • TrueBlue Mosaic 4 members
  • Transatlantic Mint customers
  • TrueBlue Mosaic 4 members and the new premium JetBlue credit cardmembers will also receive complimentary access for an accompanying guest.
  • Day and guest passes will be available for purchase by eligible customers based on space availability. All customers will be able to purchase an annual pass, making the lounges accessible to even more travelers seeking to get the most out of their award-winning JetBlue experience.  

“Customers love the JetBlue experience, so we’re pulling through those thoughtful touches you find onboard our flights into the lounge experience,” added St. George.

As JetBlue increases the value of its award-winning TrueBlue loyalty program, Mosaic 4 members will receive complimentary access to the lounges for themselves and one accompanying guest as a new addition to Mosaic 4 Signature Perks.

In addition to lounges, Mosaic members will see additional enhancements, including an upgrade to the Move to Mint Signature Perk. Beginning in 2025, Mosaic members who have earned 250 tiles will receive two additional Move to Mint certificates for every 100 tiles they earn.
