Capital One is launching its new airport lounge concept, Capital One Landing, at Washington D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA). The lounge, designed with input from renowned chef José Andrés, features a unique two-part setup: a traditional lounge with assigned seating and a grab-and-go coffee shop called On the Fly. Unlike other Capital One lounges, access is more restricted, and On the Fly is open to all travelers but not free. The lounge offers a tapas menu and craft cocktails, aiming to cater to travelers with short layovers.
The new Chase Sapphire Lounge at NYC's Laguardia Airport offers a range of complimentary amenities and is open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders can access the lounge for free with a flight departing within three hours, while non-cardholders can also gain free entry by traveling with a cardholder or through a Priority Pass membership. Additional guests cost $27 per person, and those with a Priority Pass membership can enter for free once a year, with subsequent visits costing $75 or more.
