DCA Airport Lounges: Centurion, Sky Club, Admirals Club

Reagan National lists five airline lounges and one American Express Centurion Lounge. Every one of them is in Terminal 2, and the airport says the entrances are in National Hall.

• American Admirals Club: C gates mezzanine, near Gate C24
• American Admirals Club: D gates mezzanine, near Gate D36 (temporarily closed for renovations)
• American Admirals Club: E gates mezzanine, near Gate E46
• Delta Sky Club: near Gates B10 to B22
• United Club: near Gates B10 to B22, across from Gate B11
• American Express Centurion Lounge: near Gates B15 to B22

The airport sends you to each operator for access rules, amenities and hours. American publishes hours for its clubs (below). The airport does not list hours for the Delta, United or Centurion lounges, so check each operator.

Terminal 1 has no airline lounge, Centurion Lounge or Capital One Landing. It has the A gates (Gates A1 to A9), used by Air Canada, Frontier and Southwest.

If you fly from Terminal 1 and hold lounge access, you have to go through security again to reach Terminal 2, then find the lounge there. Plan the extra time before you commit to it.

The Centurion Lounge is in Terminal 2. The airport places it near Gates B15 to B22. American Express describes it as on Level 2, opposite the information desk after the South Security Checkpoint. The two descriptions may refer to the same area, so follow the signs once you are past security.

The airport does not list Centurion hours, so check the Amex app for the day you fly. Amex says access is not guaranteed and depends on space. Visitors must be 18 or older unless with an adult. The lounge is non-smoking.

Capital One Landing opened in November 2024 in Terminal 2. It is a 5,500 square foot space designed with chef Jose Andres. The airport directory lists it in National Hall, after security, with hours of 6:00 am to 9:00 pm in the directory on October 15, 2026.

Capital One says Venture X primary cardholders can enter its Lounge and Landing locations, and its Venture X Business page says the same for Venture X Business primary cardholders while the account is open and in good standing. You show your physical card or the digital lounge pass in the Capital One app. Access is not guaranteed and depends on space. Capital One says additional cardholders and guests may face fees or conditions, and that benefits may differ by card role. Check the Capital One app for current guest rules and fees before you go. Capital One lists DCA as a Landing, not a full lounge.

These three belong to their airlines. American runs three Admirals Club locations, Delta runs the Sky Club and United runs the United Club. They sit in the same Terminal 2 gate areas as their airlines.

Admirals Club hours, as American lists them: the C gates club is open Sunday to Friday 4:45 am to 10:15 pm and Saturday 4:45 am to 9:15 pm. The E gates club is open Sunday to Friday 4:15 am to 10:15 pm and Saturday 4:15 am to 8:45 pm. American sells a One-Day Pass for $79 or 7,900 AAdvantage miles, online and at select locations, but says passes may be limited or unavailable when a lounge is busy. Admirals Club members, Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard primary cardmembers and qualifying First or Business class passengers can also enter.

The airport lists no day pass prices or hours for Delta or United. Check the Delta or United app, or ask at the lounge door.

As of October 15, 2026, both the airport and American list the Admirals Club on the D gates mezzanine, near Gate D36, as temporarily closed for renovations. No reopening date is published. The clubs near Gates C23 to C34 and E46 to E48 are listed as open.

The airport's lounge list shows no Priority Pass lounge at DCA. Open the Priority Pass app on the day you fly to confirm.

There is no Chase Sapphire Lounge in the airport's lounge list either. If your card gives you lounge access, the Centurion Lounge and Capital One Landing are the two card based options here, each with its own eligible cards. The Admirals Club also admits Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard primary cardmembers.

The USO Lounge is before security in Terminal 1, next to the Lost and Found office. It welcomes active duty and retired military, National Guard, reservists and their dependents. You need a military ID.

Hours are Monday to Friday 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The phone number is 703-417-8876. From Terminal 2, follow signs to Gates A1 to A9 (Terminal 1) and the lounge is on your right.

Terminal 1 has a Pepsi Lounge before security with seating and vending machines, open all day. After security in Terminal 2, National Hall has sit down restaurants and bars. See the DCA food guide for hours.

The airport offers free Wi-Fi in the main terminal and concourse areas (network name #DCA Free WiFi), so a table at a restaurant works for a long wait.
