Airport Lounge Reviews: Every Signature Card Lounge
The short answer: The premium travel cards each come with their own network of airport lounges, and quality varies a lot from one location to the next. These are our honest, location-by-location reviews of the Capital One Lounges and Landings, the Chase Sapphire Lounges, and the Amex Centurion Lounges, so you can see whether the one nearest you is genuinely worth the detour before you pay for the card.

Frequently asked questions
Which credit card lounge network is best?
It depends on your airports. Amex Centurion has the most locations and the richest food, Capital One has the newest and most design-forward lounges, and Chase Sapphire Lounges are large and amenity-heavy but fewer in number. The right answer is whichever network has a good lounge where you actually fly.
Do you need to fly a certain airline to use these lounges?
No. Capital One, Chase Sapphire, and Amex Centurion lounges are card-based, not airline-based, so any same-day boarding pass plus the eligible card gets you in, regardless of which airline you are flying.
Are airport lounges worth it?
If you travel enough to use one several times a year, a good lounge easily justifies itself in food, drinks, and a calmer place to wait. The key is whether a quality lounge exists at the airports you actually use, which is what these reviews are for.
