JetBlue’s newest airport lounge, BlueHouse, has recently opened at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). In order to avoid overcrowding, the airline has implemented strict entry rules for the lounge. Only top-tier elite status members, premium credit card holders, and passengers flying to Europe in lie-flat seats are currently allowed to access BlueHouse.
However, starting this week, JetBlue will begin offering one-time access to the lounge for some of its other customers. This option is not available for passengers flying on short flights within the US, and is limited to lower-level elite members, lower-tier credit card holders, and passengers flying in Mint seats on shorter flights.
Here’s what you need to know about accessing JetBlue’s BlueHouse lounge.
Who can enter the lounge?
To gain access to BlueHouse, passengers must fall into one of the following categories:
– Top-tier Mosaic 4 elite status members
– TrueBlue members who carry the JetBlue Premier Card with a $499 annual fee
– Passengers flying to Europe in the airline’s Mint cabin
It’s important to note that passengers traveling on JetBlue’s Blue Basic (basic economy) fares are not allowed to enter BlueHouse. This means that Mosaic 4 and Premier Card holders should consider purchasing a higher fare if they want access to the lounge.
JetBlue lounge day passes
Starting this week, JetBlue is offering one-time access passes to BlueHouse for other customers.
– Mosaic 3 elite members: $59 per person
– Mosaic 1 and 2 elite members: $79 per person
– Non-transatlantic Mint passengers: $59 per person
– Non-Mint passengers: $79 per person
Guest policy
As previously reported, the guest policy for BlueHouse varies depending on the customer’s status:
– Mosaic 4 and Premier Card holders are allowed one free guest, with subsequent guests costing $39 per person. – Transatlantic Mint passengers are required to pay $39 per eligible guest.
It’s important to note that guests must also have a same-day boarding pass for a confirmed JetBlue flight.
In comparison to other US airlines, JetBlue’s lounge policies are quite strict, especially when it comes to basic economy fares. Delta Air Lines has a similar policy in place.
