Capital One has debuted their second Washington DC called the Capital One Landing at DCA. I’m a huge fan of Capital One lounges, in fact, I’d argue they are nicer than the Centurion Lounges Amex has; however, there aren’t many to choose from…unless you’re from DC which now has them at both DCA and IAD. Lucky guns. The lounge will feature epicurean creations from MICHELIN-starred Chef José Andrés.
What’s the difference between a Lounge and a Landing?
Landings aren’t full lounges, and will be at smaller airports across the country. The first one is here at DCA, another is due to open at LGA. Please, please, open one in Indianapolis 🙂
You won’t find showers, but you will have plenty of space to work, plug in a device, grab a cocktail, a snack, but…..
On-the-fly
We’ve become accustomed to taking food away with us in to-go packages from the Cap1 lounges. At this lounge, if you want to order food to-go, you’ll have to pay for it, and it’s open to anyone, not just Cap1 members. If you carry a Venture X or Venture X Business you’ll get 50% off your purchase from “on-the-fly.”
Access:
- Venture X cardholders and Venture X Business primary cardholders enjoy unlimited complimentary access for themselves and one guest per visit, plus special pricing of $45 per visit for additional guests.
- Venture and Spark Miles cardholders may enter at a discounted rate of $45 per visit. Venture and Spark Miles complimentary Lounge passes cannot be redeemed at Capital One Landings.
- Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders receive 50% off purchases from the On-the-Fly quick-service experience. All other travelers, including non-cardholders, can purchase à la carte offerings from On-the-Fly.
- Cardholder must be present for guests to receive access.
- Children under 2 can enter for free with a supervising parent or guardian.
Location:
- Located in Terminal 2 in the National Hall near Concourse D
Hours
- Everyday 6am to 9pm
- On the fly is open from 5am to 10pm
Overall
I was just at DCA this past weekend and missed the opening! This looks like an awesome concept, and while I would love to have free food to go, it’s nice to still have the tapas served in the lounge, and we will see if paying 50% the cost of the to-go food is worth it.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is great starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Chase Ink Business Cash® , Chase Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into the Sapphire Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee remains quite low at $95 a year and if you use the $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit via Chase Travel℠ you’ll wipe out that annual fee every year. It has great bonus categories and other useful statement credits to enhance your travel.
One thing that is a bummer is Chase lowered the transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3.
