Capital One to Open Cuisine-Focused Airport Lounges

Capital One is opening a new "chef-driven" lounge concept in both New York's LaGuardia Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the bank holding company announced.

The Capital One Landings lounges, developed in partnership with the restaurant collection José Andrés Group, will cover 10,700 square feet in LaGuardia's new Terminal B and 5,483 square feet in National's Terminal 2. Their highlighted feature will be their food and beverage menu, for which Andrés' team is developing one centered around Spanish-style tapas, according to Capital One. The company did not give a targeted opening date.

Capital One opened its first lounge at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport last year and expects to open additional Capital One lounges at Denver and Dulles international airports in early 2023. Its lounge entry is free for Venture X cardholders along with two guests per visit, while Venture and Spark Miles cardholders get two complimentary entries per year with a discounted rate of $45 per visit after that. Other guests, including Capital One commercial cardholders, pay the full rate of $65 per visit.
