Last week, JetBlue shared plans for new airport lounges at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The openings are part of the airline’s “JetForward” strategy, which aims to grow premium amenities. In the process, TrueBlue Mosaic loyalty members will gain a valuable Signature Perk. Lounge access will also be available to holders of an in-the-works premium credit card.

The JFK lounge will be located in Terminal 5 and will open in late 2025. Boston’s Terminal C lounge should open shortly after. The lounges are in response to travelers’ needs, yet with their expected popularity, they will only be available to Mosaic 4 loyalty members, Transatlantic Mint customers, and premium credit card holders. The spaces are part of JetBlue’s premium, affordable experience, whether in the air or on the ground.

The JFK lounge will comprise 8,000 square feet and the BOS lounge 11,000 square feet. Each will use the airline’s signature blue branding, along with regional and local artwork, spread through three tailored areas:

  • Lounge: Comfy seating and complimentary food and drink offer groups or solo travelers a relaxing space.
  • Play: A social area and full-service bar let travelers talk and unwind with complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
  • Work: Private workspaces allowed focused productivity, free WiFi and charging outlets, and free coffee beverages made by baristas.

Marty St. George, President of JetBlue, said: “Customers have asked for a JetBlue lounge for years, and we can’t wait to unveil our take in New York and Boston. Lounges have become an essential offering for the growing number of customers seeking premium experiences. JetBlue’s lounges will further boost the value of our TrueBlue loyalty program as we expand our portfolio of JetBlue credit cards.”

In an airline industry first, the Department of Transportation (DOT) fined JetBlue for canceled and delayed flights. Not long ago, the airline was placed under investigation for flights that were “chronically delayed” at least 145 times from June 2022 to November 2023. The financial penalty is in the millions and will be split among interested parties.
The fine follows repeated warnings from the DOT

During the DOT’s investigation, JetBlue ran four chronically delayed flights at least 145 times between June 2022 and November 2023. Every flight experienced delays for five months in a row, and in some cases, longer. As the DOT warned JetBlue about its chronically delayed flight between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Raleigh-Durham, N.C, the carrier kept scheduling three other chronically delayed flights, consisting of Fort Lauderdale to Orlando and JFK airport, and from Fort Lauderdale to Windsor Locks, CT.
