JETBLUE AIRWAYS

JetBlue will open a second 12,000-square-foot BlueHouse lounge on August 27, 2026, in Terminal C of Boston Logan International Airport, featuring food service, a bar, workstations and a games room. The airline is expanding complimentary access to customers with Mint and Mint-Flex fares in Boston and New York; previously only Mosaic-4 members and holders of the JetBlue Premier credit card had free access. Mosaic-4 members and cardholders will continue to receive one free companion, Mint guests pay $39, and single-use passes for Mosaic 1–3 members and other cardholders cost $59–79. JetBlue also announced a new, lower-priced fare called “Mint Base,” which does not include lounge access or free seat reservations and imposes fees for changes and cancellations. » More on de.investing.com

JetBlue is restructuring its fare system and introducing four onboard products: Main (formerly Core), EvenMore, BlueFirst (new first class for domestic flights) and Mint. Within each product, customers can choose the fare options Base, Standard or Flex; Base is the cheapest option without seat selection, Standard includes seat selection and no change fees, and Flex allows refunds to the original form of payment for eligible cancellations. No Base fares will be offered for Mint. The changes are to be implemented in the coming days, and existing bookings as well as benefits for TrueBlue Mosaics and JetBlue cardholders will remain unchanged. » More on de.investing.com
