Capital One Venture X Plaza Premium Lounge Access

It also depends where the Centurion Studio lounge is and if that is at airports that align with your travels. One of my top airports is BDL, and I probably visit the Escape Lounge/Centurion Studio more frequently than I visit the actual Centurion at my home airport (DFW).

I accessed the plaza premium lounge at Heathrow just after this program was announced. It was a step above and much roomier than the Priority Pass lounge there, close in quality though smaller than the British Airways business class lounges, and has a nice view. The food was actually good, and it was great to be there when our BA flight was delayed a couple of hours and we weren’t flying business class. You do need to get there right when it opens, it fills up super fast.

Lots of recent reports of VS lounges in the US turning away non-VS passengers in the evenings when their own passengers are expected to fill up the lounge. Also, there have been reports of the IAD location providing a downgraded food offering on days there is no VS flight.

For BOS, I think you mean Terminal E instead of "5"? It's listed as Terminal 5 in the plaza premium website, which is where it was pasted from.

Does Cap One have a site for all lounges accessible by the Venture X? Similar to Americanexpress.com/findalounge?

I didn't know they had Virgin Atlantic lounges also, that's great. I should have checkout out the JFK one when I had the chance last time

@ TJ -- Fixed, thanks! 🙂

@ Nick -- Capital One doesn't have a site quite like Amex when it comes to lounges. However, you can find Plaza Premium locations here:

Then you can find Priority Pass locations on the Priority Pass website or app.

Lucky, you forgot the most important / most used lounge benefit of the Amex Platinum - Delta SkyClub access.

The LoungeBuddy app is great at figuring out how to get access to which lounges. Just make sure to select that you have the Capital One Venture X, and it’ll track that through when searching airports.

Anyone know if you can access with an Apple Wallet version of the Cap One, or do you need the physical card?

Sounds like a commercial for the credit card that you are talking about.

The vast majority of my lounge visits are in airline lounges. There is the odd circumstance of an airport with no airline lounge and I'll use an Amex lounge. But, it's been years since I've been in a true third-party lounge, such as one under the Priority Pass umbrella. I have to scratch my head when I hear others express fascination over them.

Not at all. It is a good hint about the card and it looks indeed it is the best card for lounges.

Lucky wrote: "You need a same day boarding pass and ID to access a lounge, though there’s no requirement that you be within a certain number of hours of a departing flight; so lounges can be used hours prior to departure, or even upon arrival."

Did I read that correctly? One can access the lounges on arrival???

I have to scratch my head when you say "the odd circumstance of an airport with no airline lounge and I'll use an Amex lounge".

I can't think of any airport with no airline lounge but a Centurion lounge. Unless of course if you mean SkyClub as an airline lounge or Escape Lounge as an Amex lounge.

And you should travel to Asia before you go bald from scratching your head.

Note that Venture X/Priority Pass has NO LOUNGES with access at either LAX or PHX. This is a big downside if you often fly from these airports.

I was just at LHR Terminal 4 & they wouldn't let me in using my VentureX card. I had to call CO & get them to speak to the Plaza Premium Lounge to get them to let me in. Anybody else experienced this? BTW once I did get in the lounge I wasn't very impressed with its quality.

Yes, I used the Plaza Premium Lounge in Jakarta Airport's Terminal 3, access with Venture X card. It was certainly a very nice lounge.

Hi, is it possible to access the Plaza Premium lounges by presenting the card through Google Wallet?

Virgin Atlantic in JFK selectively denies access to Venture X cardholders (e.g when full or even when they anticipate being full). The only time (in three tries) that I’ve been able to get in was at 6am durning one trip.

You can use this site to fine which lounges Capital One lets you get into
