Capital One Landing LGA Review: The BEST Credit Card Lounge at LaGuardia (2026)

In addition to its traditional airport lounges, Capital One recently introduced a new lounge concept called “Capital One Landing”. The Landings operate like standard lounges in that your credit card gets you in and everything is included, but it differs in that it is set up like a restaurant with all table seating and waitstaff serving guests. Our first visit to a Capital One Landing came in June 2026, at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, and we were quite impressed. This post reviews our experience at the Capital One Landing.

The quick facts: the Capital One Landing at LGA is in Terminal B, past security on the bridge to gates 11–31, and is open daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Entry is free for Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders (physical card required), and guests can be added for a fee. You can reserve ahead through the Capital One Travel app or just walk in.

WHERE IS THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

The LGA Capital One Landing is located inside LGA Terminal B, past security on the bridge to gates 11–31, which puts it right in the middle of Terminal B. The Capital One Landing is easy to find, although it’s not near the other credit card lounges in the terminal (which are side by side closer to the 40s and 50s gates).

The Capital One Landing at LGA is open 7 days a week from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. And, fun fact, you can make a reservation for the lounge via the Capital One Travel app (through the “Lounges” tab)! That being said, you can also walk in, and a reservation was not necessary when we visited. If you plan to make a reservation, the reservation is free, but you cannot make same-day reservations, and there is only a 15-minute grace period. This makes a reliable reservation difficult.

ACCESS TO THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

Like traditional Capital One lounges, access to Capital One Landings is exclusively via Capital One credit cards. Capital One Venture X and Capital One Venture X Business cardholders receive complimentary access. Dan and I both have a Capital One Venture X card, which is how we accessed the LGA Capital One Landing. Cardholders can bring in up to 2 guests at a cost of $45 per visit ($25 for children, free under 2). There are some additional entry rules for guests, which are detailed at the end of this article.

We entered the Landing by simply presenting our cards with our boarding passes. Note: you must have the physical card to enter the Landing (virtual cards are not currently accepted).

THE LGA CAPITAL ONE LANDING SPACE

Ok, the LGA Capital One Landing is a gorgeous space, despite its somewhat lackluster entrance.

The Landing is rather large and split into two main rooms. The first room, where one enters the Landing, is set up like a fancy indoor restaurant. Its anchor is a beautiful, large bar, offering cold prepared foods and dessert, as well as all the drinks. The remainder of the space is filled with tables and swanky booths for lounge guests. The color scheme is luxurious, and the space is decorated with ceiling installations and art throughout.

The books are all actually pretty interesting.

The second room, unlike the first, is more open air and offers floor-to-ceiling windows with some plane views. There are green trees in this space, and I felt like it was just a lighter and brighter area for a meal. Behind the seating in this space is another bar and food area. We were not asked where we wanted to sit, but it seems that this space is the nicer of the two.

THE FOOD AT THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

I think Capital One lounges do food really, really well, and the Landing at LGA is no exception. The LGA Landing’s food is prepared in connection with chef José Andrés, and all of the food is done in traditional Spanish style. It is probably the best food in Terminal B (and possibly the entire airport).

Both hot and cold food are offered, and everything is included with entry.

Hot Food

Capital One Landing offers a small hot food menu, which was unfortunately not available when we visited due to a technical issue. Staff apologized and told us about the issue before we checked in. We still thought the Landing experience was well worth it even without the hot menu. I have included photos of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, which show both the hot and cold foods offered.

Cold Food

As no hot food was available, we sampled a lot of the cold foods. Cold foods are set up in a buffet style behind glass cases. It was well done. Staff members provide you with whatever you want. Dishes are continuously replaced, and you can take as many as you want. When we visited, a selection of Spanish cheeses, Spanish charcuterie, Spanish anchovies in olive oil, chips, sandwiches, salads, as well as a few other dishes were offered. Everything was done in true Spanish style, and everything that we tried was absolutely delicious. We did not feel that we missed out without hot food.

Dessert

Dessert is offered in the same manner as the cold foods. I only sampled the Basque cheesecake, but it was so, so good and served on the most beautiful plate.

THE DRINKS AT THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

There are two bars in the Capital One Landing serving the same menu. The first is located in the main dining room, and the second is located in the lighter dining room where we sat. All alcoholic beverages are prepared by the bartender and delivered to your table by staff after being ordered from a QR code on the table. During my recent visit, I had the Landing G&T and the Sangria Roja. Both were really great.

A decent selection of beer and wine is also offered via QR code ordering. In June 2026, the wine and beer taps were decked out with soccer players to celebrate the World Cup!

On the non-alcoholic side, we were immediately brought a carafe of water when we sat down. This was a nice touch. There are also a few self-serve stations serving coffee, soft drinks, and boxed water.

OTHER AMENITIES AT THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

WFH-quality Wi-Fi is offered in the lounge. There are also outlets at every table, as promised.

The Capital One Landing has a luggage storage area to place bulky luggage during your visit. I always appreciate this feature.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE CAPITAL ONE LANDING AT LGA

After our visit, we LOVED the Capital One Landing at LGA and cannot wait to return in September. The space was beautifully decorated and truly felt like we were in a restaurant instead of the airport. The Spanish theme was done very well, and the food and drinks were delicious. I also appreciated the table waitstaff. If you can get into the Capital One Landing, go straight here and forget about the other terminal lounges. Yes, even if your gate is in the 40s, the walk is worth it.

OTHER CREDIT CARD LOUNGES IN LGA TERMINAL B

There are both Chase Sapphire Reserve and American Express Centurion lounges in LGA Terminal B. They are next door to each other, about a 7-minute walk from the Capital One Landing on the way to the 40s and 50s Gates. We have visited both of these lounges and find the Capital One Landing to be a much, much better lounge experience. We have not yet reviewed the LGA locations, but you can read our review of the Chase Sapphire Lounge at JFK and the American Express Centurion Lounge at JFK.

STEAL OUR LOUNGE

New York City (LGA) Capital One Landing: Located in Terminal B post-security, on the bridge to gates 11–31, which puts it in the middle of the terminal. Open 7 days a week from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. You can make a reservation for the lounge via the Capital One Travel app, but you can also walk in (assuming space is available).

Additional cardholders (authorized users) can be given the same lounge access for $125 per year, per user, for up to four users. Primary cardholders that spend at least $75,000 on their Venture X account per calendar year can bring 2 guests into Capital One Lounges for free (at Capital One Landings, the same benefit covers 1 free guest).

Venture X cardholders can further purchase Capital One Landing guest passes at $45 per visit for guests 18 and older, and $25 per visit per guest 17 and under. Children under two are free. The pass is purchased at the point of entry (not in advance). I just did this for a colleague. The charge posted on my Capital One Venture X card as “Capital One $45.”
