A first-of-its-kind Capital One landing lounge has been launched at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C.
Capital One is reimagining the airport lounge experience.
Capital One Landing, a new culinary-focused concept launched in partnership with Michelin-starred chef José Andrés, is now open in Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport. The new space offers a range of options, from a quick caffeine fix to a made-to-order meal.
Capital One Landing offers a complimentary experience that doesn't require being a cardholder. CNBC Select provides details on how to access this experience and what to expect inside.

What to expect at Capital One Landing DCA
The Capital One Landing at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is situated in Terminal 2, close to Concourse D. It operates from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
Another Capital One Landing concept is planned for New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA), in addition to the first one.
Food and beverages
The Capital One Landing experience was created in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef José Andrés. The menu consists of a range of Spanish dishes, including Spanish omelets and olive oil pancakes in the morning, croquetas, gambas al ajillo, and gazpacho in the afternoon and evening. Customers can order hot items individually using QR codes, while everything else is available at a tapas bar.
The lounge will have rotating interactive carts throughout the day, offering a variety of drinks from mimosas in the morning to cheesecake in the afternoon and gin and tonics in the evening. Additionally, there is a full bar with made-to-order cocktails, espresso-based drinks, and a unique selection of wines and beers that have both Spanish and DMV origins.
On the Fly offers packaged food, snacks, and beverages for to-go purchase by Capital One cardholders and non-cardholders. Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders receive a 50% discount on their purchases at On the Fly.
Amenities
Capital One Landings are not complete lounges, as they are located at airports that primarily serve shorter-haul domestic flights. Their purpose is to provide a restaurant-quality dining experience. While they do not have rest pods or showers, they do offer essentials such as power outlets at every seat, high-speed Wi-Fi, and luggage nooks.
Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Venture X Business Credit Card holders can make advanced reservations, monitor capacity, and jump on the waitlist through the Capital One app.
