- JetBlue's Boston BlueHouse opens at BOS Terminal C at 5 a.m. Eastern on August 27, 2026, and JetBlue Premier Cardmembers get complimentary access with one complimentary guest.
- JetBlue Plus and JetBlue Business Cardmembers do not get free access, but they can buy a one-time pass for $79 per person when space is available.

What changed
JetBlue says its second BlueHouse airport lounge will open at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) Terminal C at 5 a.m. Eastern on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The Boston opening matters for cardholders because JetBlue also published the access table that separates free Premier Card access from paid Plus and Business Card access.
For JetBlue Premier Cardmembers, BlueHouse remains a high-value card benefit: complimentary entry plus one complimentary guest, with additional guests listed at $39 each. JetBlue Plus and JetBlue Business Cardmembers are in a different bucket. They may buy a one-time pass in person for $79 per person, but only when the lounge has space.
JetBlue is also expanding complimentary access to eligible Mint and Mint Flex travelers on August 27. JetBlue says a new lower Mint Base fare is coming, but Mint Base will not include BlueHouse access or complimentary advance seat selection.

Who should care
This is most important for JetBlue Premier Cardmembers who fly from Boston or New York. Lounge access is one of the Premier Card's clearest travel perks, and the Boston opening makes the benefit more useful for BOS-based travelers.
JetBlue Plus and Business Cardmembers should not read this as a free lounge upgrade. The useful decision is whether a $79 walk-up pass is worth it on a specific trip, especially because access is space-available.
Mint travelers also need to watch the fare name. Starting August 27, Mint and Mint Flex include BlueHouse access, but JetBlue says Mint Base will not. If lounge access matters, the cheaper Mint Base fare may not be the right comparison.
What to do next
- Premier Cardmembers should add Boston BlueHouse and JFK BlueHouse to their lounge-access tracker.
- Plus and Business Cardmembers should track this as paid optional access, not a free card benefit.
- Mint travelers should check whether the fare is Mint, Mint Flex, or Mint Base before assuming lounge access.
- Save the JetBlue access table or terms before travel, because access is space-available and tied to same-day eligible JetBlue travel.
- If you use Perkmon or a spreadsheet, separate complimentary access, paid access, guest fees, and fare exclusions.
