Just a bit of rumoring to start your saturday...

In september jetBlue is launching a new tier to the status program, and the bar is apparently pretty low. My impression was in the 30 flight range, and it didn't sound like segments.

The big perks are 9 points per dollar instead of 6, and EMS, both for TSA and early boarding. EML was not a perk.

However, EML seats will soon be bookable on points, rather than only dollars on award flights.

And perhaps best of all, when United vacates terminal C in boston in 2013, jetBlue will be operating their first lounge out of the old location.
