As Capital One continues to expand its airport lounge network, certain travel credit cards, like the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, are becoming even more appealing.
Capital One Lounges offer luxe amenities ranging from locally sourced food and craft cocktails to relaxation rooms, showers and high-speed Wi-Fi. There are now three Capital One Lounges open in the U.S. plus a Capital One Landing experience, with additional locations in the pipeline.
Below, CNBC Select details which credit cards provide access to Capital One Lounges and Capital One Landings.
Capital One Lounge locations
Capital One currently has three lounges open, with two more under construction.
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Terminal D near Gate D22; Open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Denver International Airport (DEN), Concourse A near Gate 34 on the Mezzanine Level; Open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.

All lounges offer complimentary premium food and beverages, grab-and-go refreshments, high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated work zones and plenty of power outlets. Some locations provide additional amenities like shower suites, a yoga room, relaxation rooms with nap pods and even Peloton bikes.
Capital One Landing
Capital One Landings are essentially airport lounge-and-restaurant hybrids with tapas-style plates, drinks and essential amenities like Wi-Fi, luggage nooks and convenient power outlets.
There is one Capital One Landing location open at D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), with a second location in the works at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
The espresso bar toward the front of the lounge offers a variety of espresso drinks, cold brew and even a selection of teas, including green tea, Chai, Jasmine and English tea.
