Meet the Capital One Travel App

Capital One today announced a strategic evolution of its travel business and award-winning travel portal, as well as the launch of the Capital One Travel App. Capital One is taking a step forward in its goal to build a fully integrated travel franchise, bringing the technology, talent, and supplier relationships underpinning Capital One Travel in-house. The Capital One Travel App is the ultimate expression of this evolution-a unified ecosystem that leverages award-winning technology to help cardholders travel smarter and with greater confidence.

Since debuting in 2021, Capital One Travel has become a core growth engine for the company, with booking volumes increasing more than tenfold.

"Our vision is to build a fully integrated travel ecosystem that provides a seamless, end-to-end journey for our customers-from initial planning and rewards redemption to airport experiences and stays," said Sarah Kaplan Moore, Head of Capital One Travel. "The launch of our dedicated travel app is a major milestone in this journey, applying the frictionless innovation we are known for to every stage of the traveler's experience."

The New Capital One Travel App
Available on iOS and Android beginning today, the new dedicated app brings Capital One's award-winning platform directly to cardholders' fingertips. Powered by the same Capital One Travel experience cardholders know and love, the app is built specifically for the modern traveler and serves as a comprehensive hub for:

  • Seamless Booking & Rewards: Planning and booking flights, stays, cars, and activities while earning and redeeming rewards, and getting access to relevant offers.

  • Live Lounge Locator: A first of its kind Live Lounge Locator shows capacity, estimated wait times, and allows eligible travelers to join digital waitlists for Capital One's award-winning Lounges and Landings.

  • Personalized Profiles: Set preferences for home airports, loyalty numbers, and favorite hotel chains for a tailored, one-click experience.

  • Real-Time Trip Intelligence: Receive live updates like flight alerts, gate changes, nearby lounges, and more.

  • Easy Trip Management: Digital self-service tools and quick rebooking options that help manage trip details and adjust plans in one click and without repeated sign-ins.


"We are delivering a more connected, intuitive experience that meets the needs of the modern traveler." said Matt Knise, Senior Vice President, Premium Products and Experiences at Capital One. "Travel is so core to our brand, so we're thrilled to give our customers a platform that is able to showcase our innovative features as customers explore, book and service their travel."

Evolving The Travel Business
Capital One is applying the same innovation that transformed modern banking to Capital One Travel. With this transition, Capital One can take end-to-end control of the cardholder journey, and more rapidly deliver new features on behalf of our customers. This builds on recent program expansions, including:

  • Award-Winning Airport Experiences: Capital One's growing network of airport experiences-designed to make travel more comfortable-has become a defining part of the journey for many cardholders. From the flagship JFK Lounge, recently named 'Best New Credit Card Lounge' by The Points Guy, to the February debut of Capital One Landing at LaGuardia in partnership with José Andrés Group, Capital One is setting a new benchmark for airport dining and hospitality.

  • Expanded Home and Hotel Collections: Capital One has continued to invest in expanding the Premier and Lifestyle Collection, Capital One's luxury hotel program, adding customers' favorite brands and properties to the platform. This growth, coupled with the recent addition of 500,000 vacation rentals, has contributed to a 50% year-over-year increase in booking volume for FY 2025.

  • Business Travel Innovation: In October 2025, Capital One expanded access to Capital One Business Travel, an all-in-one platform that integrates booking with automated expense management for business cardholders.
