Airplane tickets are getting cheaper, but it's getting more expensive to bring your family to an airport lounge.
Capital One is the latest company to limit access to booming airport lounges to combat overcrowding.
Starting Feb. 1, Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders will no longer be able to automatically take a guest into lounges or bring authorized second card users.
They will instead have to pay $125 annually for each additional cardholder to keep their lounge access, $45 per adult guest per visit and $25 per guest 17 or younger. The $125 fee also includes second cardholder access to a network of Priority Pass lounges.
"As airport lounges continue to grow in popularity across the industry, we've seen our customers increasingly encounter wait times to enter them,"
