Capital One runs its own airport lounges, which it calls Lounges and Landings. Its lounge guide, read on September 29, 2026, lists Capital One Lounges at Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Denver (DEN), Las Vegas (LAS), New York JFK and Washington Dulles (IAD), and Capital One Landings at Washington National (DCA) and New York LaGuardia (LGA). It says a new Lounge is "scheduled for arrival" in Charlotte (CLT).
This guide covers where each one is, who gets in and what it costs, and what you'll find inside. The locations, access rules and prices come from Capital One's lounge guide, its lounge terms and its Venture X page, all read on September 29, 2026. The Dulles update comes from reporting by Upgraded Points and The Points Guy.
Lounge or Landing
Capital One describes them as different products.
A Capital One Lounge is the full lounge. Capital One calls it "a premium airport lounge experience" with "luxurious amenities and chef-inspired food," local culinary partnerships, regional flavors and craft cocktails.
A Capital One Landing is a dining space in the terminal. Capital One describes it as "elevated dining in the heart of the terminal," with "elevated tapas-style plates and beverages curated by José Andrés Group."
Where the Capital One Lounges Are
These are the locations and hours on Capital One's guide:
- Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW): Terminal D near Gate D22. Open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Denver (DEN): Concourse A near Gate 34 on the mezzanine level. Open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Who Gets in, and What It Costs
Capital One's lounge terms set access by card. They were last updated July 8, 2026.
Venture X and Venture X Business primary cardholders get complimentary access to Capital One Lounges and Landings.
Authorized users and other additional cardholders don't get complimentary access. The primary cardholder can buy it for them for an annual lounge access fee of $125 per additional cardholder, which renews each year unless canceled.
Guests of a Venture X or Venture X Business cardholder pay discounted rates: $45 per visit per guest 18 and older, and $25 per visit per guest 17 and under. Children under two are free.
Complimentary guests come with spending. If the Venture X or Venture X Business account reaches at least $75,000 in purchases in a calendar year, the primary cardholder can bring up to 2 complimentary guests to Capital One Lounges and 1 complimentary guest to Capital One Landings per visit. The terms say this lasts for the calendar year you reach the spend, the following calendar year, and until January 31 of the year after that. It doesn't apply at Priority Pass lounges.
Venture, Venture Business and Spark Miles cardholders can buy passes for themselves and each guest at the same discounted rates: $45 per visit for 18 and older and $25 for 17 and under.
Everyone else can buy a pass at the standard rate of $90 per guest per visit. The terms add one exception: at DFW, pass purchases are restricted to Capital One credit cardholders.
Priority Pass Through Venture X
Venture X primary cardholders can also use participating Priority Pass lounges, after enrolling. Capital One's lounge guide puts that network at "more than 1,300 participating partner lounges worldwide."
The guest rules differ by card:
- Venture X: guests at Priority Pass lounges cost $35 per visit per guest.
- Venture X Business: the primary cardholder can bring up to 2 complimentary guests per visit, then $35 per visit for each additional guest.
Getting Through the Door
The entry rules in Capital One's terms are strict, and they're the part most likely to catch you out.
- A same-day boarding pass with a confirmed seat. Every visitor needs one for a departing or connecting flight that day. Standby tickets don't count.
- Up to 3 hours before departure. You can enter up to 3 hours before your departure time. If you're connecting, you can stay longer as long as you show both your arrival and departure boarding passes.
- Delays don't reset the clock. You're fine if you enter within 3 hours of the originally scheduled departure. After a rebooking, you need the new boarding pass.
- Your card or digital pass. Primary cardholders must show their physical Venture X or Venture X Business card, or the digital lounge pass in the Capital One Mobile app.
- Paying for a pass. When paying for discounted entry, you must use your eligible Capital One card. The terms say Apple Pay, Google Pay, virtual card numbers and checks aren't accepted.
- Space. Access "is not guaranteed and is subject to space availability."
What's Inside a Capital One Lounge
Capital One lists these amenities, and says they depend on the location and are subject to availability:
- Food and drink: chef-inspired small-plate bars with options for vegetarians, vegans and gluten- or dairy-free diets, full-service bars, grab-and-go food, and coffee bars with espresso and on-tap cold brew.
- Working space: outlets near every seat and high-speed Wi-Fi.
- A relaxation room: eye masks, blankets and other amenities.
- Showers: some Lounges have a shower suite.
- Luggage storage: some Lounges have storage for carry-on bags.
Dulles: Back to Full Service
Upgraded Points reported that the Dulles lounge operated with reduced service from July 9, 2026, with the full-service bar closed and food cut back to grab-and-go, while Capital One worked on infrastructure and ventilation upgrades. The Points Guy reported that full service resumed on September 18, with seating, the coffee bar, grab-and-go, the full bar and the hot and cold buffet all available again.
Is Venture X Worth It for the Lounges?
It depends on your airports and on who flies with you. The Capital One Venture X costs $395 a year, and its rewards terms list a $300 Capital One Travel credit each year and 10,000 bonus miles after each account anniversary, on top of lounge access.
If you regularly fly out of DFW, Denver, Las Vegas, JFK Terminal 4 or Dulles, or through DCA or LaGuardia for a Landing, you'll use them. If your home airport isn't on the list, Priority Pass is the part of the benefit you'd actually use.
Guests and authorized users matter as much as the airports. Until the account reaches $75,000 in purchases in a calendar year, every guest 2 and older pays $45 or $25 at Capital One Lounges, and after that only up to 2 guests at Lounges and 1 at Landings get in free. Authorized users need the $125 annual fee to get in at all.
Our look at whether the Venture X is worth it covers the rest of the card.
