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
Vnukovo airport is open 24 hours a day, so passengers with an early morning flight or those whose flight has been delayed can spend the night on the premises. Be sure to bring everything you need for an overnight stay at the airport. This may include a blanket or sleeping bag, inflatable pillow, earplugs and a sleeping mask. It is also useful to have a bottle of water and some snacks. As in any public place, it is important to exercise caution and keep your belongings safe.
Where to rest: The seats available inside the terminal have armrests. In addition, in the public area, they are made of metal and uncomfortable, while in the boarding area, they are padded. In case you have to lie down on the floor, there is a quiet area near gates 28-29. Another option (for a fee or through various memberships) is to use one of the VIP lounges, which are open 24 hours a day. Note that, in general, the maximum stay is 3 hours. Finally, there are also sleeping pods on the third floor and several nearby accommodations if you prefer more privacy and comfort.
Baggage: You can leave your bags in a luggage storage office located in the basement of the terminal.
Eating and drinking: There are no options open overnight.
Restrooms: Showers available in some of the VIP lounges only.
Wi-Fi: Free for 15 minutes.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby changing facilities.
