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.\n\nJetBlue shared the details in [its announcement](https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2026/08/jetblue-to-open-second-bluehouse-lounge/) two days before opening. Here is what you need to know.\n\n## Who gets in now\n\nBefore August 27, free BlueHouse access was limited. It went to Mosaic 4 members, JetBlue [Premier World Elite Mastercard](https://www.loungefrog.com/cards/hsbc-premier-world-elite) 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.\n\nThat 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](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/bos-bluehouse) and the original [BlueHouse at JFK Terminal 5](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/jfk-bluehouse). Mosaic 4 members and [JetBlue Premier](https://www.loungefrog.com/programs/jetblue-premier) cardholders keep their access too.\n\nThere 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. Marty St. George, JetBlue's president, put it this way in the release: \"we want to give them more ways to shape that experience around what matters to them.\"\n\n## Day passes and the fine print\n\nSome 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. Our BlueHouse Boston listing records these prices:\n\n* **Mosaic 3:** $59 per person\n* **Mosaic 1 and 2:** $79 per person\n* **JetBlue Plus and Business cardholders:** $79 per person\n\nGuests cost money too. Our listing says Mosaic 4 members and Premier cardholders get one guest free and pay $39 for each extra guest. Mint passengers pay $39 per guest.\n\nJetBlue has a few more rules for everyone:\n\n* You can enter up to three hours before your flight.\n* 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.\n* Entry depends on space at the time you arrive.\n\nJetBlue describes BlueHouse as a signature benefit for its most loyal customers and premium travelers. Mosaic tiers come from the [TrueBlue](https://www.loungefrog.com/programs/jetblue-trueblue) program. The lounge is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.\n\n## Inside BlueHouse Boston\n\nAt 12,000 square feet, the Boston lounge is bigger than the one at [JFK](https://www.loungefrog.com/airports/jfk). That lounge is about 9,000 square feet over two levels. Our records put Boston's capacity at about 204 seats against 150 at JFK. One thing Boston lacks: JFK has two showers, and our Boston listing shows none.\n\nBoston leans hard into local themes. JetBlue says the entrance is modeled on a classic Boston home, and the spaces include:\n\n* **The Neighborhood Bar:** the center of the lounge, with a \"Nantucket Blue\" wood-slat ceiling, copper finishes and a light fixture inspired by Boston's beacon.\n* **The Dugout:** a game room with Boston sports memorabilia from local partners.\n* **The Library Workspace:** a quiet work area with tables and lamps modeled on the Boston Public Library, plus private rooms for calls and video meetings.\n* **The Candy Closet:** a hidden corner stocked by Madeleine's Candy Shop, where you can fill a bag to take on board.\n* **A Richard Scarry mural:** characters from the Boston-born illustrator's Busy World books, including a JetBlue plane.\n\nFood 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. JetBlue says patterns and finishes around the lounge draw on Beacon Hill, downtown Boston and New England neighborhoods.\n\n## How it fits JetBlue's Boston network\n\nBoston is JetBlue's second-largest focus city. This summer, JetBlue says it runs more than 133 daily departures from Boston to 68 destinations, 25 of them international. That includes nine daily nonstops to Europe and new routes to Barcelona and Milan. The lounge is part of what the airline calls its JetForward strategy, which leans on more premium products.\n\nThe JFK BlueHouse opened in December 2025. Readers of Newsweek voted it the best airport lounge in the magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards. Our readers rate JFK 4.6 out of 5 and Boston 4.4 so far.\n\nIf you fly JetBlue from Boston but don't qualify for BlueHouse, Logan has other options. [Priority Pass](https://www.loungefrog.com/programs/priority-pass) holders can use the [Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/bos-chase-sapphire-lounge-by-the-club), which rates 4.6 and has two showers, or [The Lounge at Boston Logan](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/bos-the-lounge-at-boston-logan), rated 3.9. I'd check the terminal before you go. See every lounge we track at [Boston Logan](https://www.loungefrog.com/airports/bos).
