Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (KWI)

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

A fairly busy airport with limited comforts. In particular, the number of available seats is not sufficient for the passenger flow. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a jacket or sweater, as temperatures inside the airport can vary.

Where to rest: Foreign travellers are only allowed to stay inside the terminals for 3 hours, after which they must proceed to the airport's transit hotel. Local residents wishing to spend the night inside the premises will be directed to a designated area on the Departures level. There are also some 24-hour VIP lounges that offer more comfort and privacy. However, keep in mind that the maximum stay is usually 3 hours. In the city centre, you'll find a wide range of accommodation options. The nearest ones are listed below.

Baggage: There are no left-luggage offices available within the airport grounds.

Eating and drinking: 24-hour options are available in the shopping centre. Note that some outlets may close during the night.

Restrooms: Showers are only available in VIP lounges, not in public restrooms.

Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
