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.
Overnight stay inside the airport
Since Chongqing airport terminals are open 24 hours a day, you can stay inside at night. Staying overnight in an airport may not be the most comfortable experience, but sometimes it may be necessary due to long layovers, delayed flights or a tight budget. With proper planning, you can do this safely and relatively comfortably.
Where to rest: Once inside the terminal, find the most comfortable seats and take them. You can put together several of those without armrests to lie down. Otherwise, you will have to lie on the floor, in which case it is advisable to have a pillow or blanket for comfort. There are also some VIP lounges with better facilities, but these are closed at night. Finally, there is a hotel a few metres from the site for a longer rest.
Eating and drinking: Shops close at night, so it's best to have snacks and drinks prepared in advance.
Baggage: Left-luggage facilities are available in terminals 2 and 3, but are only open from 6:30 am to 11:00 pm.
Showers: Only available in some of the VIP lounges.
Wi-Fi: Free unlimited access.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby care facilities, changing rooms.
