Capital One operates its own branded lounges at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (review here), Denver International Airport (DEN), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). Like most lounges, these can get extremely crowded, but Capital One now makes it possible to remotely join the waitlist and know how much time you have to wait due to a capacity tracker.
Access to the Capital One Lounges is granted to Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Venture X Business primary cardholders. They can enjoy unlimited complimentary access, plus complimentary entry for two guests per visit (it costs $45 per visit for additional guests). Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Spark Miles for Business cardholders receive two complimentary visits towards their account per calendar year (additional visits can be purchased for $45) to use by December 31, 2024. Effective January 1, 2025, they will no longer offer access. All other cardholders and non-customers can enter for $65. Children under age two can enter for free with a supervising parent or guardian. Access to all amenities is included with lounge entry.
Through the Capital One app, travelers can find lounge details and add themselves to the waitlist if one exists. Once you are on the waitlist, you’ll get updates via text to let you know when it’s your turn. This is a much better option that standing in line like I’ve encountered at countless Centurion Lounges by American Express.
Anthony’s Take: I love these new features and hope that American Express and Chase adopt similar technology. Nothing is less premium than having to line up to enter a lounge.
Anthony’s Credit Card Pick: I love the lounges that the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card allows me to access. I’ve been using this card more and more this year. While it does have an annual fee of $395, it provides many travel benefits like a $300 annual credit for bookings through Capital One Travel, up to a $120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck®, and 10x miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel as well as 5x miles on flights booked through Capital One Travel.
