Capital One is on a quest to make a more seamless travel experience, so it’s launching a new all-in-one travel app as part of its plan “to build a fully integrated travel franchise, bringing the technology, talent, and supplier relationships underpinning Capital One Travel in-house,” according to a statement.<\/p>\n
The goal, says Capital One’s head of travel, Sarah Kaplan Moore, “is to build a fully integrated travel ecosystem that provides a seamless, end-to-end journey for our customers \u2014 from initial planning and rewards redemption to airport experiences and stays.”<\/p>\n
How does the new Capital One Travel app work?<\/h2>\n
Now available for iOS and Android users, Capital One touts the following features in the new app:<\/p>\n
\n
Seamless booking and rewards<\/strong>: Planning and booking flights, stays, cars and activities while earning and redeeming rewards and getting access to relevant offers.<\/li>\n
Live Lounge Locator<\/strong>: The first-of-its-kind Live Lounge Locator shows capacity and estimated wait times, as well as allows eligible travelers to join digital waitlists for Capital One’s award-winning Lounges and Landings.<\/li>\n
Personalized profiles<\/strong>: Set preferences for home airports, loyalty numbers and favorite hotel chains for a tailored, one-click experience.<\/li>\n
Real-time trip intelligence<\/strong>: Receive live updates like flight alerts, gate changes and nearby lounges.<\/li>\n
Easy trip management<\/strong>: Enjoy access to digital self-service tools and quick rebooking options that help manage trip details and adjust plans in one click and without repeated sign-ins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Playing around with the new app, we have to give Capital One props for a beautifully designed app with some out-of-the-gate features that will be helpful for users.<\/p>\n
On the home screen, users can easily see what rewards they have available to spend; toggle between booking hotels, flights, cars, vacations and full vacation packages; continue recent searches; and see limited-time travel offers, like $50 off your first hotel, vacation rental or car booking of $200 or more until April 15.<\/p>\n
When searching for a flight or hotel, a handy color-coded calendar shows you fares or rates based on a system of dollar signs ($ to $$$) and matching colors for a visual representation of price.<\/p>\n\n

Digging deeper into flight bookings, users can set up alerts to be notified as fares change, get a visual guide to what each fare type includes (for example, a green circle indicates one carry-on bag is included, but a money sign indicates a fee for checked bags) and view detailed information pages as they continue through the booking pages. The latter highlight the exact itinerary (including layover times) and offer one more look at what’s included and what’s extra in the booking.<\/p>\n
Through multiple click-through pages, users are also offered add-ons, such as flight disruption assistance, before being guided through traveler information, seat selection and purchase, and the addition of rewards and credits to the final total.<\/p>\n
