Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area
Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board.
Spending the night at the airport
While the terminals are open 24 hours a day, passengers wishing to spend the night on the premises should remain in the public area once security closes for the night. It is recommended to have a mask, earplugs or headphones for a better night's sleep.
Where to rest: Terminal 2 does not have comfortable seats for sleeping. Terminal 3, on the other hand, has metal benches without armrests in the baggage claim area and near the ground floor restrooms, and even a VIP lounge with more amenities, although it closes at night and the maximum stay is 4 hours. There are also hotels in the surrounding area easily accessible by public transport.
Baggage: Luggage storage in the check-in area operates from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm.
Eating and drinking: You'll find several options that are available at night, plus many food and beverage vending machines.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, children's play areas, nursing room.
