NEW Capital One Lounge at IAD: Better Than Centurion?! Washington Dulles International Airport

[@jm4020]

One thing we should not worry about is overcrowding at C1 lounges with how few people they approve. 😂✈️

[@anthonyc8499]

Serious question. Is the Venture X hard to get or something?

[@dusscode]

Doesn't seem like it, as the DFW location is rammed 24/7.

[@julioc4978]

The DFW lounge was crowded when I was there in Huly

[@loth6088]

@@anthonyc8499 Yes and No. Capital One is super weird about who they approve for the Venture X. It’s kind of a hit or miss.. you could have an 850 credit score, few credit cards, and a long credit history and still get denied while someone with a 700 credit score and 14 credit cards would get approved. You kind of just have to test your luck when it comes to the Capital One Venture X.

[@loth6088]

@@anthonyc8499 to put it into perspective, you’d have a much better chance of getting the Amex Platinum with a 650 credit score and $50k/yr income.

[@ToaAsum]

✈ only if C1 approved more people with thicker reports

[@JeremiahBelocura]

I still don’t understand how I got approved so easily for the VX, while I had to practically beg WF for the BILT.

[@kristophe1667]

✈️...Get preview vid of the Cap1 lounge @ IAD Sebby. It's beautiful & luv the decor. Can't wait 2 visit, especially since it's in my area. It'd give me a good reason to use that airport now lol..Thanks

[@WadersInAlaska]

I only hope that the lounges in the US start taking note of Capital One lounges' offerings. The US is so far behind many foreign lounge offerings. But maybe, just maybe, they will be forced to up their game and improve....I hope so. Thanks for a great video!! Cheers from Alaska!!

[@kerryh2096]

✈Thanks for reviewing this!!! I saw they're doing one in LGA (LaGuardia) here in NYC.

[@KwasiBoateng]

Thanks for the thorough review! Great way to mix up the content, and it's super insightful. Looking forward to the Denver review!

[@AskSebby]

Much appreciated! :)

[@derricktyler3577]

✈️The lounge looks great! Perfect if you have late checkout and you have a flight leaving in the evening. Get that last bit of exploration in in the morning, check out at 2PM, get to the airport @ 3, get through security and chill in the lounge until boarding.

[@Kristin_Soul]

✈️ This space looks sooo cool and I’m so glad it’s open now! These lounges are only getting better and better and now I need an excuse to go through IAD with my Venture X haha. I have family in Denver so I’ve been itching for them to complete the Denver lounge, it’s been such a long wait. Great video!

[@AskSebby]

Excited for the Denver lounge to open!

[@clausellray3949]

✈️Great video thanks for sharing I am going to get to the DFW airport first then this one looks sooo nice I can’t wait. Keep that great content coming sir.

[@coveloper]

Do you know what Terminal in DEN? AA and Centurion are in C@@AskSebby

[@prettyflytraveler]

This looks better than the new AMEX lounge in FLL.

[@SkulShurtugalTCG]

✈️ Excellent video. I'm looking forward to the one opening up in Denver later this month!

[@tislife550]

So glad it is open now! IAD is our home airport so it is really a good benefit for us VX holders!

[@AskSebby]

Nice!

[@DugrozReports]

Looks really nice, looking forward to the Denver One!!!! (Was just there and missed having it!) - Thanks so much for coming to the Creator Meetup in Vegas last weekend!!!! Great meeting you!

[@nickram81]

I live about 10 minutes away from IAD "I can hear a plane right now", it is always interesting to see people I subscribe to come by here.

[@jeannine1991]

I’ll be in Denver at the end of the month, and was hoping that one would be open. Thanks for the great preview! It looks beautiful.✈️

[@jpknowledge8852]

✈️ This lounge looks really nice. Grab n go is a good feature. Sometimes, I just want a quick bite and then to bounce, or to take something small on the plane. Thanks for the tour.

[@AskSebby]

Agree! More lounges should have Grab and Go options to help with overcrowding. Sometimes I just want a bottle of water.

[@Polostar79]

Hopefully Amex is taking notes.

[@daviddickerson495]

Glad C1 is getting more lounges ready. We haven't been to the DFW Centurion since the C1 lounge opened there. Really looking forward to the Denver lounge.

[@mattdarling9450]

🛫 Been waiting 2 years for DEN to open, I can't wait to see what they have to offer!

[@BK-el8nw]

Cap Venture X is high on my list to replace my Amex Plat and IAD is my Home airport. This may be what pushes me over

[@jaredsharethealoha]

✈️ Aloha Sebastian, thank you for all your great videos. Kinda of the reason why I got the venture X. If you come to Hawaii I bartend at Kahala hotel. Thank you

[@rjshron]

more lounges need a grab and go section!!!

[@AskSebby]

Agree!

[@darkstorme37]

Looks really good. Flying from IAD to Dublin in a couple of weeks so hoping the lounge might be open for general admission by then. Just got my Venture X card a few weeks back and loving all the perks. Seems to be a really good card for my level of travel.

[@AskSebby]

Enjoy! :)

[@LoopyChew]

Man, I’m glad my P2 already has a card that’ll get us in here. Will have to try it if we go to DC.

[@tomastaz]

Sebby you’re gonna make me want to fly to DC just for this lounge. I loved the DFW one! ✈️

[@AskSebby]

It's a good excuse to visit! :P

[@castro1223]

Whoa! I saw the announced and BAM Seb with the video! Thanks man! IAD is my home airport. After watching the video, looks kind of small. I'm expecting a lonnngg waitlist. ✈

[@seantyler7140]

Cap One’s HQ is down the street.. you would think that they would have a bigger one..

[@castro1223]

@@seantyler7140 yeah, how would I waitlist even work there? There’s no where to go since you’re still in main terminal

[@AskSebby]

Enjoy! Hopefully people utilize the Grab and Go section to help with crowding.

[@paulstein916]

✈️ Looks like a really nice lounge. Thanks for the preview. I like the design, lockers, grab n go and the ambiance. I hope C1 opens more lounges like this one. Your gear produces excellent professional quality video.

[@AskSebby]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeremycain2491]

✈️ Great review, thanks! Makes me want to get the Venture X card.

[@eddielee88]

🛩️ looks great! Planning to visit later this year

[@pointsofview6346]

It took forever for Capital One to get another lounge opened after the one in Dallas. I have never been to IAD airport but this Cap One lounge looks really nice. Hope to get to try it out at somepoint.

[@slappers123]

I’ll be at the DFW lounge Friday, can’t wait!! Super excited to experience the IAD one. The C1 lounges really seem to take the U.S. lounge game to the next level. I hope they open DEN soon and hope they announce that more are coming!! I remember hearing they brought a unit in LV?? We’ll see… Probably unpopular opinion, but I’d be happy paying more on the AF if they had a bigger lounge footprint.

[@PattyASMR]

So unlucky that I just moved from Northern Virginia! This looks awesome

[@lautrufend]

✈️ Fantastic review, can’t wait to experience this myself soon. Also, nice Whoop band!

[@tonicz770]

✈ would love if they kept the showers for IAD and future airports. the showers just make sense at an international airport especially one as busy as IAD (DCA and IAD are my airports). the showers were one of the main things i was looking forward to for the C1 lounge at IAD.

[@spartan3514]

YYYEESSSS!!!! I was waiting for this!!!!! This is my home airport!!!

[@AskSebby]

Yay!!

[@AdamBA380]

The main feature I’d like to see added to future lounges is for them to be open 😆

[@AskSebby]

Ha!

[@Henlarious]

As a frequent flyer and someone who uses the American Express lounges at several airports, I can say right now that this lounge does not have enough seating capacity. It needs at least triple the seating capacity that is currently existing. Just wait.

[@Al3xTrucho20]

Yes!!!! IAD is my home hub and been waiting for this ever since I got the card at launch. I will be taking my next trip near end of Sept or early October. Hopefully I'll be able to get in. Thanks for this, it looks great and I'm hyped.

[@kevinManhattan]

first top 10! Sebby, I saw you in Max Miles's video filming!! Awesome Lounge!

[@AskSebby]

Awesome! Thank you!

Of course it opens just a few weeks after flying internationally out of Dulles! Still waiting on the Denver one to open as that's my home airport, hoping it's coming soon will be interesting to compare

[@AskSebby]

I'm excited for the Denver one. IMO that's one of the worst / busiest Centurion Lounges (based off my travels during ski season).

[@jandroeff9249]

slowly been becoming more and more a fan of capital one. thanks for this video, just one more reason i like capital one ✈️✈️✈️

[@jjoyshii]

Might be a dumb question, but is all the food and alcoholic drinks in the lounge free or do you have to pay separately for cocktails? Venture X cardholder here! And if it's free, what's the customary amount you should tip the bartender/barista? TIA :)

[@AskSebby]

Yes, all free except for the upgraded selection. Up to you on what to tip :)

[@08710909]

Seb, you have convinced me to go for the Capital One Venture X card. I just downgraded my CSR to CSP.

[@BIGMEGA77]

Great lounge review but we’re the drinks included or at a cost? Thank you

[@AskSebby]

All included, except the premium selections like top shelf stuff.

[@drive2siva]

✈️ hope to c u on a similar tour of the Denver lounge ..can't wait for that given centurion lounge is crowded as hell

I have only been to the new DCA lounge but I must say I think CapOne is blowing AMEX out of the water on the lounge game. Both in quality and exclusivity for the premium card holders.

Officially opens tomorrow, Sept 7!

[@bigjimmy428]

Hope they have more restrooms than DFW! Been there a lot and there is always a line.

Nice review. The lounge looks nice….how will this lounge hold up after significant use? Is it geared for it?

[@AskSebby]

I think CO has done a great job maintaining lounges based on the DFW one.

[@MC-nn4ur]

Does a Venture One cardholder have access to the Lounge as well?

[@JeremiahBelocura]

✈️ Can’t wait to visit this sometime, though not sure when that’ll happen when I’m based out of PHL. With Amex raising AUs, I’m jumping off the Platinum ship, so I need C1 to hurry up with more lounges since I really love the DFW one.

[@AskSebby]

I’ve been impressed with the C1 lounges so far!

[@Polostar79]

Hopefully they add one here in Vegas🤞🏾

[@AskSebby]

Hopefully!

Nice review! ✈

[@rbhattara1492]

Thank you for the food review

[@takeoffoptions]

They’re smart for where they placed the lounge, because it takes a day and a half to get to your gate in IAD, so less people in the lounge hopefully

[@Scott-td4fd]

Not to look too far into the future, but I wonder where they will add lounges after Denver. Focus on more key hubs in the U.S., starting with... ?

Hopefully RDU and CLT.

✈ Thanks for the tour! I'm hoping to take a trip to that area sometime soon and would likely be flying out of that airport as well. Do you know the expected/max capacity? I'm wondering if this will actually get full like a lot of other lounges or if it will actually be comfortable.

[@kevinManhattan]

first top 10! I think I prefer DWF location but this is very cool lounge also!

[@tylerjump2409]

So excited to try it out! Any idea if Venture X card holders get higher priority over Venture? Similar to the Sapphire lounge in Boston giving higher priority to the reserve over priority pass. Also, is it available for people whose final destination is IAD, and just heading out of the airport?

[@AskSebby]

Equal priority as far as I know.

[@suvommitro2172]

Great video as always, but with the food, please say what each item is. Less important is your review over what the good item is. I am just hearing this is good and you move on to the next item. I have no idea what food items are available. Just what they look like.

[@ItsMeCJ]

Let’s go ✈️ !! I’m still claiming FIRST even though the order of comments would “suggest” otherwise 😊. Excellent walkthrough! This kind of excited me even though this airport isn’t in my path of travel 😂. This lounge looks really nice and sleek and I honestly think fitness equipment would’ve been a bit overkill. I love working out, but I couldn’t imagine the need to do so in-between flights. ✈️ ✈️
