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
The new Dakar airport is open 24 hours a day, so passengers with a connecting flight early in the morning or whose flight is delayed can spend the night inside the enclosure. Have earplugs and a mask handy for a better rest.
Where to rest: In the baggage reclaim area, there are a few benches, but you will probably have to sleep on the floor. The Departures area, on the other hand, has a few carpeted sectors if you are allowed inside. Inside the terminal, there are also a few VIP lounges with more amenities, and some of them are open around the clock. A few hotels in the city offer shuttle services for their guests.
Baggage: There are no left luggage services inside this airport at the moment.
Eating and drinking: Eateries in the terminal are closed at night.
Wi-Fi: Free access.
