JetBlue recently unveiled plans for lounges at both Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
These two lounges will be the first for the New York-based carrier, which has steadily worked to upgrade its premium-cabin offering over the last few years, including with the launch of its Mint business-class service.
The JFK lounge will open in late 2025, while the Boston lounge will open soon after, according to a release from JetBlue. Eligibility for each lounge will be extended to loyalty members of the TrueBlue program (at the Mosaic 4 level), passengers flying transatlantic in the Mint cabin, as well as cardholders of a soon-to-be-announced JetBlue credit card.
The JFK lounge will be 8,000 square feet, and the Boston space will span 11,000 square feet.
Both locations will feature traditional amenities such as a full-bar, private workspaces, and more.
“Lounges have become an essential offering for the growing number 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 President Marty St. George said in the release.
JetBlue also revealed additional upgrades on the horizon for frequent fliers on their airline, including more flexibility with award benefits such as the Move to Mint certificates.
Airline lounges have been opening at a steady pace, with both carriers and banks debuting lounges to amplify the customer experience.

The project, costing north of $1 billion, will welcome international flights from around the world — a stark contrast to the facilities at the current airport, Douglas-Charles Airport, which mainly handles domestic flights and around 60,000 passengers per year through the three gates. Dominica International Airport has been in the planning stages for several years. The new airport is being built on a 500-acre site. On completion, the runways will facilitate planes from local Caribbean airports and the US and Europe.
