Capital One has been making big strides in the travel space the past few years. They started with the Venture X card, a credit card with a higher annual fee than you might normally expect from Capital One ($395).

Construction Pictures: Capital One Lounge At Dulles Looks Close To Being Ready
Capital One made a big splash on the lounge scene back in 2021 when it opened their first lounge at Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport (DFW). It seems every travel blogger I’ve ever heard of rushed out for a visit. Anticipation was high and it seemed the new lounge delivered.

Qantas is ramping up enforcement of a “smart casual” dress code in their airport lounges. While it’s not 100% clear what won’t be allowed, it seems that some folks are upset with their fellow traveler for dressing a bit too casual: Some frequent flyers have long complained about the tendency for some passengers to wear attire such as singlets, shorts and thongs […]
