JetBlue Expands Lounge Access to All Mint Flyers
WHY IT MATTERS
This change provides more flexibility for business class travelers and may encourage more passengers to choose JetBlue's Mint product.
What happened
JetBlue is opening up its BlueHouse lounges to anyone flying business class, specifically Mint passengers on domestic routes. This change reverses an earlier policy that restricted complimentary access to Mint passengers flying internationally. The airline's president, Marty St.
George, announced the expansion during a media preview of the new lounge at Boston Logan International Airport. The Boston location opens on Thursday, August 27, and the policy change is now in effect.
Mint customers can bring non-Mint guests for a fee of $39 each, while top-tier loyalty program members and credit card holders can bring one complimentary guest. Other loyalty program members can purchase access for a fee.
