• JetBlue will open its first-ever airport lounge called BlueHouse on December 18. • The two-level space is unmistakably New York with local art, food, and alcohol. • To minimize crowds, it's open only to JetBlue's most loyal and highest-paying customers.

JetBlue Airways has finally added the one premium perk it's been missing for years.

Come December 18, the low-cost carrier will open its first-ever airport lounge — a two-story, art-deco-inspired retreat called BlueHouse — at its New York-JFK Terminal 5 home base.

A lack of lounges has long been JetBlue's glaring weak spot, but BlueHouse represents JetBlue's greater push to elevate its premium offerings.

It complements Mint, the airline's flagship business class, and the new domestic first-class seat set to arrive in 2026.
