The best business travel amenities in Capital One Lounges

Capital One Travel introduced the first Capital One Lounge in November 2021, at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Now, travelers at Washington-Dulles Airport (IAD) and at Denver International Airport (DEN) can also enjoy upscale design; high-quality, all-inclusive amenities; and a luxury airport lounge experience unlike any other.

So how do you get in? Travelers with an eligible Venture X Business or Venture X card receive unlimited access to Capital One Lounges, plus complimentary access for two guests. Otherwise, it generally costs non-eligible cardholders $90 per person, per visit to enter a Capital One Lounge.

To help you plan your next travel-work day, here are some of the amenities travelers can enjoy in Capital One Lounges.

Wrap up work (comfortably)

Upon entering selected Lounges, you can drop your suitcase in a luggage locker and focus on responding to emails, taking conference calls or finishing a presentation. Plug into a USB outlet and stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi wherever you make yourself comfortable, from conference room to private phone booth or plush chair.
