Capital One has introduced capacity monitoring and a virtual
waitlist for its airport lounge network to better manage lounge capacity, the
company announced.
The features enable Venture X Business and Venture X
cardholders to see the capacity of the lounges within the Capital One mobile
app and join a waitlist when a lounge is at capacity. Once the lounge is
available, travelers are notified and will have 15 minutes to arrive, with the
capability within the app to let the lounge know if they are running late or
decided not to come. Travelers can still join the waitlist in person at the
lounge if they prefer.
Capital One said the features are now available to “a
majority of eligible cardholders” and will be available to the rest over
the coming weeks.
