It's been more than a year since Capital One opened its first premium airport lounge in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). However, Capital One has big plans for 2023. In addition to the two Capital One Lounges previously announced, Capital One also plans to open two additional lounges next year.
However, these new lounges will be somewhat different compared to Capital One's existing lounge. Here's what travelers can expect from the card issuer's new “Capital One Landing” lounge concept.
What Is The Capital One Landing Lounge?
In many ways, the Capital One Landing lounges will be quite similar to other lounges. However, there is one major difference between the Landing lounge concept and other lounges. The Capital One Landing lounge will be based around a culinary experience.
This new Landing concept is part of a partnership with celebrity chef José Andrés. When describing the new partnership, Chef José Andrés says he plans to combine “the Spanish tapas way of eating” and the “bounty of American farms and traditions.” The Landing lounge concept will focus primarily on Andrés' culinary creations and expertise.
Other airport lounges have partnered with celebrity chefs. American Express continues to partner with local chefs at all of its Centurion Lounges. However, none have made these partnerships the focal point of the lounge experience.
Capital One Landing lounges will feature food and beverage menus designed by Chef José Andrés. Members will have the option to dine in at the Capital One Landing or take their meal with them as the lounge will offer premium grab-and-go options.
Aside from an overview of the concept and a general opening timeline, here's what we know so far about the two new Capital One Landing lounges:
Capital One Landing Lounge at New York-LaGuardia Airport
- Opening sometime in 2023
- This lounge will be located on one of the airport's passenger skybridges linking Terminal B to one of the two concourses.
- Capital One Landing will offer indoor and outdoor seating with sweeping views of the New York City skyline.
- The lounge will be 10,700 square feet.
Capital One Landing Lounge at Washington-National Airport
- Opening sometime in 2023
- The lounge will be located in Terminal 2 immediately after security near Concourse D with passengers traveling through Concourses B, C, D, and E having easy access to the lounge.
- The lounge will be about half the size of the Landing at LaGuardia Airport measuring just 5,483 square feet.
Capital One hasn't provided any mock-ups of the new Landing lounges yet. However, Capital One has shared some photos of the space that will eventually become the outdoor dining area at the New York-LaGuardia lounge. And the views are quite impressive:
While there remain a number of unanswered questions — including basic questions like whether or not food and drink will be complimentary — the general concept sounds quite unique. Additionally, this is great news for eligible Capital One cardholders as it means two additional lounges to which they will have access.

How Can You Access Capital One Lounges?
Capital One lounges can be accessed by all travelers. However, only eligible Capital One cardholders will receive complimentary or discounted access to these lounges.
Here's the current Capital One Lounge access policy and pricing:
| Membership | Pricing & Guest Policy |
|---|---|
| Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Venture X Business cardholders | Complimentary Access, first two guests included. Each additional guest is $45. |
| Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Spark Miles for Business cardholders | Access at no cost twice per year then $45 per visit. All guests are $45 each. |
| Other Capital One cardholders and all other travelers | $65 per individual with no guests. |
There is just one Capital One currently open to travelers. That lounge is located in Terminal E at Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport (DFW). However, there are four lounges set to open to travelers in 2023. Here's an overview of the entire Capital One lounge portfolio:
- Open Now: Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport (DFW) in Terminal E
- Denver International Airport (DEN)
- Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
- Capital One Landing at New York-LaGuardia (LGA)
- Capital One Landing at Washington-National (DCA)
- 2 miles per dollar on all eligible purchases
- 5 miles per dollar on flights when booking via Capital One Travel
- 10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars when booking via Capital One Travel
The Bottom Line
This new Landing lounge concept from Capital One should be quite a unique and premium experience for travelers. While little is known about these upcoming lounges, the views from the LaGuardia location are enough to make us excited for their opening. Additionally, thanks to a partnership with celebrity chef José Andrés, the two new Landing lounges will become a go-to for foodies on the road.
If access works like other Capital One lounges, all travelers will have the ability to access these two new lounges for $65 per person. Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card cardholders will have complimentary access with other eligible Capital One cardholders receiving discounted access after two free visits each year.
Are you excited about these two new lounges? Will you visit either of the Capital One Landing lounges when they open to travelers?
