JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced that BlueHouse, the airline’s first-ever airport lounge, will officially open its doors at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 5 (T5) at 5 a.m. ET on December 18, 2025.
As a major element of JetBlue’s broader JetForward strategy, which includes delivering more premium, customer-centric experiences, BlueHouse sets a new benchmark for approachable hospitality in the heart of T5. Inviting, stylish, and uniquely JetBlue, the space is designed to feel like an extension of home, inspired by the energy and character of New York City. It introduces a more relaxed, seamless experience to play, work and unwind, with thoughtful design and technology that reduce long lines and make travel feel easier and less stuffy from the moment customers walk in.
“BlueHouse helps make our flagship terminal feel more like home,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “It’s warm, comfortable, and elevated in a way that’s distinctly JetBlue, with the hospitality and thoughtful amenities our customers have been asking for. As our first lounge, it represents an exciting milestone in our JetForward journey as we focus on bringing affordable, premium experiences from the aircraft to the airport.”
Key Highlights of BlueHouse at JFK Terminal 5:
- 9,000 square feet and two floors bring an NYC apartment–style aesthetic to JFK Terminal 5 with Art Deco design, curated local art and playful nods to JetBlue’s history.
- Local flavor infused through fresh bites curated by Union Square Events and beverages from NYC partners Joe Coffee, The Greats of Craft and Please Don’t Tell.
- High-speed Wi-Fi, ample power outlets, a game room, open seating and quiet areas give space to the different needs of travelers looking to socialize, work and relax before flying.
- Complimentary access is available to Mosaic 4 members 1, JetBlue Premier Cardmembers 1 and transatlantic Mint customers.
Key to the House
JetBlue is deepening the value of its TrueBlue® loyalty program by making BlueHouse a signature benefit for its most loyal customers and premium travelers. Earlier this year, JetBlue introduced the JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard®, issued by Barclays US Consumer Bank, the airline’s first premium credit card offering complimentary BlueHouse access1, accelerated points earning and priority benefits.
“BlueHouse is one of the most significant enhancements we’ve ever made to our loyalty program,” said Ed Pouthier, vice president of loyalty and personalization, JetBlue. “Our Mosaic members and Premier Cardmembers already enjoy elevated benefits every time they fly, but BlueHouse introduces a new level of recognition for those who choose to fly us again and again.”
Access to JetBlue’s lounges will be reserved primarily for Mosaic members, transatlantic Mint customers and JetBlue Premier Cardmembers to ensure a comfortable experience that avoids the overcrowding and long lines often seen in other airport lounges.
Complimentary BlueHouse access will begin at 5 a.m. ET on December 18, 2025, for the following customers:

JetBlue’s investment in premium products to meet customer demand also includes an upcoming domestic first class cabin that will roll out next year.
