Keep in mind, lounge access is on a first come, first serve basis and depends on the space available upon entry. Cardholders must show or use their eligible Capital One card to qualify for complimentary or discounted access and your account must be in good standing. See below for additional details.

To use your Capital One Venture card (the standard $95 annual fee version) for airport lounge access in 2026, you generally need to pay a discounted fee per visit. Unlike the "Venture X," which offers unlimited complimentary access, the standard Venture card provides discounted entry of $45 per person to Capital One Lounges (located in DFW, DEN, IAD, and JFK). To use this benefit, simply present your physical credit card and a same-day boarding pass at the lounge reception. If you have the Venture X, you must first enroll in Priority Pass through the "Benefits" section of the Capital One mobile app to access over 1,300 participating partner lounges worldwide. Once enrolled, you will receive a digital membership card in the Priority Pass app, which you scan at the lounge entrance. The Capital One app also features a "Lounges" section that allows you to check real-time capacity and even join a digital waitlist before you arrive at the terminal.
