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

wareontheglobe Leave a comment

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.

Updated July 3, 2026.

Dan and I flew from New York’s JFK airport to Athens, Greece in July 2025 for a 10-day summer getaway (check out our itineraries for Chania and Naxos). We arrived at the airport early in the hopes of visiting a lounge and we were super lucky – the JFK Capital One Lounge had just opened within the week! Of course, we had to visit this brand new lounge. In sum, the JFK Capital One Lounge is a fantastic lounge, currently the best of the credit card lounges at JFK. The staff was attentive and nice, the food was plentiful and tasty, and the drinks were flowing and well-prepared. The lounge also screamed New York City and was just really fun to visit. Don’t miss it on your next visit to JFK Terminal 4! And if you’re flying out of LaGuardia instead, Capital One now has you covered there too: read our review of the new Capital One Landing at LGA.

WHERE IS THE CAPITAL ONE LOUNGE AT JFK

The JFK Capital One Lounge is located inside JFK Terminal 4, past security. Once you clear security, go downstairs and take a right (with your back toward security). The Capital One Lounge is located in the midst of numerous shopping outlets toward the B Gates, generally across from Le Grand Comptoir (a decent outlet if you lack lounge access). The lounge is very easy to find, although it’s not near most of the other JFK Terminal 4 credit card lounges (which are on the first floor to the left of security).

Airport Lounge Review: Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Johannesburg (JNB)

After our lovely visit to Newark’s Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse in February, I was totally excited to visit Virgin’s Clubhouse at the Johannesburg, South Africa International Airport. In fact, it was the only thing getting me through the depression of going home, LOL.

Happy in Cape Town the day before departure.

ENTRANCE TO THE VIRGIN ATLANTIC CLUBHOUSE.

Despite a number of lounge options in Johannesburg’s international terminal between Priority Pass and our American Express Plaitnum card, we heard that the Virgin Clubhouse was the nicest and went promptly there (after a little shopping in the Out of Africa shop!). The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse is located on the second floor of the international terminal, just a bit further down from the aforementioned Out of Africa store. We took the elevator up. Checkin was quick and consisted of presenting an American Express Platinum card and boarding passes. I particularly loved the flower wall at the entrance.

Airport Lounge Review: Crown Lounge, Amman International Airport

On our departure from Amman, Jordan, Dan and I had two airport lounge options though our Priority Pass: Royal Jordanian’s Crown Lounge or the unaffiliated Petra Lounge. After googling some other reviews, we started with the Crown Lounge and it was so nice that we never left to check out the Petra Lounge! The Crown Lounge was quite luxurious – definitely an upgrade from many Priority Pass lounges!

Luxurious sofas welcome guests.

Airport Lounge Review: United Club, Terminal A, Newark International

Dan signed up for the United Airlines credit card last year to qualify for bonus points and free checked bags, and one of the perks associated with the United Airlines credit card are two United Club lounge passes for one time use give out each year. Since we love a good (or really even mediocre) airport lounge, we were pretty excited to try the United Club lounges! We also usually fly out of Newark, and Newark is home to three United Clubs! Well, not so fast. As it turns out, United is revamping all of its airport lounges and the main United lounge at Newark in Terminal C is closed for renovations and is currently not open to day passes until later in 2018…
