JetBlue opens BlueHouse Boston and gives Mint and Mint Flex passengers free lounge access

JetBlue now has two airport lounges. Its second BlueHouse opened at Boston Logan's Terminal C at 5 a.m. on Thursday, August 27, 2026. It sits across from Gate C25. On the same day, JetBlue changed who gets in for free. Anyone departing on a Mint or Mint Flex fare now has access, including on domestic flights.

JetBlue shared the details in its announcement two days before opening. Here is what you need to know.

Who gets in now

Before August 27, free BlueHouse access was limited. It went to Mosaic 4 members, JetBlue Premier World Elite Mastercard holders and passengers flying Mint across the Atlantic. Someone paying for a lie-flat Mint seat from New York to Los Angeles did not get in.

That has changed. JetBlue says every customer departing on a confirmed Mint or Mint Flex fare now gets free access. This applies at both BlueHouse Boston and the original BlueHouse at JFK Terminal 5.

There is a catch. JetBlue is adding a new, cheaper fare called Mint Base. You still get the Mint seat, but Mint Base does not include BlueHouse access or free advance seat selection. You will also pay fees to change or cancel. If the lounge matters to you, book Mint or Mint Flex instead.

Day passes and the fine print

Some travelers can buy a one-time pass at the BlueHouse desk if there is space. JetBlue says this applies to Mosaic 1, 2 and 3 members and to JetBlue Plus and Business cardholders. Several travel sites report these prices:

• Mosaic 3: $59 per person
• Mosaic 1 and 2: $79 per person
• JetBlue Plus and Business cardholders: $79 per person

JetBlue has a few more rules for everyone:

• You can enter up to three hours before your flight.
• You need a same-day boarding pass on a Mint, Mint Flex, EvenMore, EvenMore Flex, Main or Main Flex fare. Blue Basic fares are not eligible.
• Entry depends on space at the time you arrive.

JetBlue says it is limiting access on purpose. The goal is to keep the lounges calm and comfortable rather than crowded.

Inside BlueHouse Boston

At 12,000 square feet, the Boston lounge is bigger than the one at JFK. That lounge is about 9,000 square feet over two levels. Boston leans hard into local themes. JetBlue says the spaces include:

• The Neighborhood Bar: the center of the lounge, with a blue wood ceiling, copper finishes and a light fixture inspired by Boston's beacon.
• The Dugout: a game room with Boston sports memorabilia.
• The Library Workspace: a quiet work area modeled on the Boston Public Library, plus private rooms for calls.
• The Candy Closet: a hidden corner stocked by Madeleine's Candy Shop, where you can fill a bag to take on board.
• A Richard Scarry mural: characters from the Boston-born illustrator's books, including a JetBlue plane.

Food is served hot and plated. The menu includes North Shore roast beef sliders and crab and shrimp rolls. Cocktails come from Jackson Cannon of the Boston bar Equal Measure. Coffee is from George Howell Coffee, and beers are from The Publick House. There is fast Wi-Fi, plenty of power outlets and quiet areas throughout.

How it fits JetBlue's Boston network

Boston is JetBlue's second-largest focus city. This summer, JetBlue says it runs more than 133 daily departures from Boston to 68 destinations. That includes nine daily nonstops to Europe and new routes to Barcelona and Milan.

The JFK BlueHouse opened in December 2025. Readers of Newsweek voted it the best airport lounge in the magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards.

If you fly JetBlue from Boston but don't qualify for BlueHouse, Terminal C has other options. Check every lounge we track at Boston Logan. You can also compare JetBlue against other airlines on our JetBlue page.

JetBlue has not said where it might open a third BlueHouse.
