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 airport is open 24 hours a day, so you'll be able to spend the night inside the premises without any problems. To avoid being disturbed by the lights and loud announcements, it is advisable to bring headphones, earplugs and a sleeping mask. There are security personnel and video surveillance. However, as with any airport, it is always important to keep an eye on your belongings and take basic security precautions.
Where to rest: Most seats inside the terminal have armrests. However, you can find some benches with movable armrests in the boarding area, as well as more comfortable armchairs next to some food outlets. Another option (for a fee or through different memberships) is to enter one of the VIP lounges, which have greater comfort and privacy and are open 24 hours a day, although with a maximum stay of 3 hours. On the other hand, there are private rest cabins in the International Departures Hall, as well as a hotel just a few minutes away and a variety of accommodations nearby.

Eating and drinking: Available options inside the terminal close at night.
