- Description: Domestic Mint finally gets you into BlueHouse starting Thursday. But watch out: JetBlue's new Mint Base fare won't include lounge access.

Starting Thursday, August 27, complimentary BlueHouse access extends to anyone departing on a confirmed Mint or Mint Flex fare, domestic or international, at both the New York-JFK and soon-to-open Boston (BOS) lounges.

Previously, free access was limited to international Mint itineraries, which excluded the transcon flyers who make up most of Mint's traffic. The change lands the same day the Boston lounge opens.

But it's not all good news. JetBlue will introduce Mint Base in the coming weeks, a (supposedly) cheaper Mint fare that doesn't include lounge access, complimentary advance seat selection, or waived change and cancellation fees. Mint and Mint Flex keep all three. Separately, [BlueFirst](https://www.pnm.now/jetblue-blue-first-domestic-first-class-rollout/) — the airline's new short-haul first-class product — doesn't get BlueHouse access.

Everything else holds. Mosaic 4 members and JetBlue Premier cardholders get in free with one guest, additional guests $39 each; Mint customers pay $39 per guest. One-time passes are $59 for Mosaic 3 and $79 for Mosaic 1-2, and for JetBlue Plus or JetBlue Business cardholders, space permitting.

Andrew's Take

Matching United, Delta, and American on transcon lounge access is the right call. The unfortunate part of this news is Mint Base, which shows JetBlue is following the industry-wide trend of cheapening the business-class experience.
