How we score#
Scores are editorial, set by the Lounge Frog team on a 1 to 5 scale across up to 15 measures; our methodology explains each one. For the full ranking see the top 100 lounges.
Putting this into practice#
The names I'd check against the actual boarding pass include Capital One Lounge. I would start with the terminal and the time available after security. That turns a directory into a realistic shortlist. A lounge can be excellent and still be a poor choice for this departure if reaching it uses most of the waiting time. The location notes above should do as much work as the overall score.
The access check comes next. I'd identify the exact card, membership, status or ticket being used and read the conditions for that route into the lounge. A lounge appearing on a card's map is a starting point for that check. It is not a reason to assume every fare, guest or departure will qualify in the same way.
I would decide what I want from the stop before comparing amenities. For a meal, the food available during the actual visit matters. For work, I'd look for a suitable seat and power. For a short connection, simply finding a comfortable place near the gate may be the better result. There is little value in an amenity I cannot use.
The trade-offs I would check#
Traveling with someone else changes the calculation. I'd check the party's eligibility together, including any guest charge, rather than discover at reception that only one person is covered. A paid visit needs to make sense for the whole group and the time left. I would compare that total with a meal or a quieter seat elsewhere in the terminal.
