JetBlue announced that BlueHouse, the airline’s first-ever airport lounge, will officially open its doors at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 5 (T5) on December 18, 2025.

As our first lounge, it represents an exciting milestone in our JetForward journey as we focus on bringing affordable, premium experiences from the aircraft to the airport.”

Home Away from Home, In Our Hometown
Spanning 9,000 square feet across two floors, BlueHouse blends the charm of New York’s iconic Art Deco architecture with the warmth of a classic city apartment. Decorative molding, brass accents and a lobby-style entry set the scene for a residential-inspired space that feels warm, personal and unmistakably JetBlue.
“We wanted customers to feel like they’re stepping into a warm and stylish New York City apartment filled with character, where layers of JetBlue history and New York iconography can be discovered with every visit,” said Stephanie Evans Greene, senior vice president, marketing and brand, JetBlue. “Just as New Yorkers bring their own personality into a new space, we infused the space with JetBlue’s signature style to feel homey and comfortable when staying in our House.”
The lounge weaves together JetBlue’s history as New York’s Hometown Airline® with the Empire State’s spirit through art locally curated by Statement Of, and a mural designed by Artists for Humanity that features constellations of JetBlue destinations in the style of Grand Central Terminal’s iconic ceiling.
Prepared daily and curated by Union Square Events, BlueHouse offers guests fresh grab-and-go bites inspired by New York’s food scene like bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches with New York cheddar in the morning, and pastrami on rye or chicken Caesar wraps later in the day.
The beverage program celebrates the city’s craft culture, with draft and local beers, signature cocktails, and artisan wines curated by NYC hotspots The Greats of Craft and Please Don’t Tell, and some of NYC’s top sommeliers. Barista-made espresso drinks come courtesy of Greenwich Village founded Joe Coffee, alongside specialty chai and matcha from Brooklyn’s Dona and teas from Steven Smith Teamaker. Customers can also request travel-friendly amenities to make their journey even more comfortable.
BlueHouse combines open, social areas with cozy, quiet spaces designed for every kind of traveler. High-speed Wi-Fi and power outlets at nearly every seat keep travelers connected, while dedicated quiet zones provide a peaceful reset before takeoff.
For play, customers can visit the game room stocked with JetBlue-branded cards, chess, checkers and children’s toys. Customers can also take home a photo memento from a custom photo booth.
BlueHouse at JFK Terminal 5 is just the beginning. The lounge debuts as JetBlue continues a multi-year refresh of Terminal 5, bringing more than 40 new retailers and amenities for a more elevated airport experience. JetBlue’
