JetBlue is stepping up its game by offering new premium services.
The New York-based airline, known for its affordability, is now adding airport lounges to its list of perks. Expecting to launch in late 2025, JetBlue is set to open its first set of lounges in two major airports: New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). While these lounges are designed to elevate customer experiences, bringing JetBlue into closer competition with other airlines such as United, Delta, and American, here’s what you can expect from the premium offering.
For starters, JetBlue’s lounges will be stylish, incorporating regional artwork. Opening first in Terminal 5, the JFK lounge is expected to be roughly 8,000 square feet, where customers will be able to work, relax, or hang out before their flight. On the other hand, the Boston lounge will be located in Terminal C, with an open 11,000 square-foot area. However, both lounges will offer a range of amenities, including complimentary food and beverages, charging stations, complimentary wi-fi, and private workspaces.
Similar to other airport lounges, the private area will not be open to the general public and will only be available for certain passengers. However, there are ways to gain access:
- The airline’s premium business cabin, JetBlue’s Mint class, will get you access to the lounges if you’re traveling on a transatlantic flight. Unfortunately, if you’re flying cross-country, you won’t get the same privileges.
- JetBlue’s Mosaic loyalty program members, specifically the individuals who have reached Tier 4, can gain complimentary lounge access for themselves and a companion. To achieve Tier 4, members must earn 250 tiles by spending on JetBlue flights, vacation packages, and even making JetBlue credit card purchases.
- In addition to the set of offerings, JetBlue has also announced a new premium co-branded credit card. The card includes complimentary lounge access for the cardholder and a guest.
- If you don’t meet the qualifications for the complimentary access, JetBlue offers paid options, including an annual membership as well as day passes. While the prices have yet to be confirmed, the fee may mimic other airlines and cost around $650 annually.
Nonetheless, JetBlue’s premium offerings are expected to add a more luxurious appeal to the airline and give customers an opportunity to experience comfort and exclusivity during their travels.
