Summary
JetBlue is planning to open its third BlueHouse lounge at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) after opening its second location at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) later this year. The airline’s president, Marty St. George, confirmed the plans on the company’s first-quarter earnings call, citing the need to find the right space within Terminal 3. JetBlue has been growing rapidly at FLL, adding 21 new nonstop routes and increasing flights on 20 existing routes. The airline also plans to introduce domestic first-class cabins on its jets that don’t have the international business-style Mint cabin.

JetBlue’s BlueHouse lounge is coming to Fort Lauderdale, because who doesn’t need a lounge in a terminal that’s already a tropical paradise? The airline’s growth at FLL is a big deal, with 21 new nonstop routes and more flights on existing routes. Meanwhile, the airline is still working on its domestic first-class cabins, because reclining seats are the new business class. And, of course, there’s the small matter of a $300 million net loss in the first quarter, but who’s counting?
