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
Pudong airport is generally not very comfortable for an overnight stay. Have a coat ready and something for the noise, such as headphones or earplugs.
Where to rest: Most of the benches are made of metal and have armrests. Also, in the public area they are quite scarce. There are several VIP lounges with more amenities on the premises, but none are open at night. Near the terminals, on the other hand, you can find several hotels.
Baggage: There is a left-luggage service in both terminals, but only between 6:00 am and 0:00 am.
Eating and drinking: The only options available during the night are in Terminal 2.
Restrooms: Showers inside the VIP lounges.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available 24 hours a day: ATMs, currency exchange bureaux, children's entertainment area.
