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
Tel Aviv airport is a big and busy place, so it is difficult to find resting spots, and there is also a lot of noise and bright lights. Get some earplugs and a sleeping mask, and have your ticket ready, as the security staff may ask to see it to let you stay inside the enclosure.
Where to rest: Most seats in the airport have armrests, but you can find some comfortable couches in the Departures area, next to the food court. There are a few VIP lounges inside Terminal 3, one of which is open 24 hours a day, although the maximum stay is 2 hours. As for hotels, the closest are found in the city centre.
Baggage: There are several lockers around the enclosure so you can leave your bags until checking in.
Eating and drinking: There are several options throughout the terminals, but none of them are open during the night, except for some vending machines.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, currency exchange bureaus, synagogues, baby changing room.
