I usually stay away from industry rumors, though here's one that I think has some potentially interesting implications, and even if it doesn't materialize, is at least an interesting concept. LoungeBuddy has a post about a rumored JetBlue lounge that may be coming to Boston's Logan Airport in the coming weeks: According to this anonymous,…

Actually, the rumor is that Emirates is going to be moving departures from Terminal E to Terminal C, not only due to increasing congestion in Terminal E, but also to make connections easier for passengers interlining from Jetblue. Is it possible this is actually going to be an Emirates lounge, and not a Jetblue lounge? Not sure what Jetblue would do with such a lounge in Boston, being that they don't have Mint service from there and lounge access is not a benefit for their elites.
Isnt' jetblue far and away the biggest carrier at Logan? Could it be possible there's money to be made in selling day passes? Plus getting the partner traffic? They partner with a lot of airlines that use Boston, Icelandair, Aer Lingus, BA, etc?
I've been in this lounge before. It was very small, so I can't imagine they open it up to a ton of airlines. Maybe Emirates will just open it for 4-5 hours a day. There's also talk of Air Lingus moving to terminal C because their passengers pre-clear customs in Ireland, so they could potentially share it.
EK is moving to Terminal C (no rumor), so it will be an Emirates lounge for sure! But EmiBlue would have had a nice ring 🙂
Getting a third party to open a lounge, as Airspace did in JetBlue's JFK T5, seems more likely.
As suggested above, Emirates flights from Boston are now departing from Terminal C (tho arrivals remain at Terminal E due I believe to the need for immigration and customs). The lounge mentioned has indeed opened in Terminal C and is being used by Emirates (and it did appear that Jet Blue would be using it as well). Checking in for my Emirates first class travel to Dubai in early October I was told I could only access the new lounge (and not the Virgin Clubhouse that I had been expecting and looking forward to). Other than having an middling food offering (no liquor), the small and minimally decorated lounge is far inferior to the lounges of US domestic carriers and very disappointing relative to what one would expect from Emirates. The lounge even lacked wifi service! (And neither the airport's free service nor Verizon's cell phone data service worked reliably there.) Emirates needs to make some improvements with regard to this lounge.
Just confirmed it will be an emirates lounge, agent winked when I asked if jetblue would have a partnership, but couldn't verbally confirm. Lounge is ready to go.
Just wondering if JetBlue passengers are able to use this lounge? Ben also mentioned earlier being able to access terminal E from terminal C, is this post security? if so, then the Air France lounge in Terminal E would be a possibility with priority pass. We are flying JetBlue out of C, but every thing I have read says you have to exit the secure area and clear security again.
