• 9,000 square feet and two floors bring an NYC apartment–style aesthetic to JFK Terminal 5 with Art Deco design, curated local art and playful nods to JetBlue’s history.
• Local flavor infused through fresh bites curated by Union Square Events and beverages from NYC partners Joe Coffee, The Greats of Craft and Please Don’t Tell.
• High-speed Wi-Fi, ample power outlets, a game room, open seating and quiet areas give space to the different needs of travelers looking to socialize, work and relax before flying.
• Complimentary access is available to Mosaic 4 members ¹, JetBlue Premier Cardmembers ¹ and transatlantic Mint customers.

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.

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.
