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
Auckland Airport has two terminals, but only the International Terminal remains open 24 hours a day. To minimise noise disturbances, it is advisable to bring headphones or earplugs. Temperatures can drop significantly, so a sleeping bag or blankets are recommended.
Where to rest: There are a few benches without armrests, but these are limited. The best spots are on the second floor of the International Terminal and near Gates 34–50, which offer quieter and more sheltered areas. Several VIP lounges are available, but they close overnight. Additionally, there are two hotels located next to the International Terminal.
Baggage: Storage services are available from 4:30 am to 11:00 pm. Lockers can be found on the ground floor of car park R.
Eating and drinking: Three outlets are open 24/7, but only in the International Terminal.
Restrooms: Showers in the Arrivals Halls and the VIP lounges.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby care rooms.
