Capital One Financial Corp. is adding a different style of airport lounge, with new locations in New York and Washington, as the credit-card giant deepens its push into travel.
The firm will open the new locations at LaGuardia Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, said Matt Knise, managing vice president of US card, travel and experiences. Capital One intentionally chose to open the new style of lounges -- known as Capital One Landing -- at airports where travelers typically don’t arrive hours before their flights, he said.
