Overnight stay at the airport

Can you spend the night at Abuja airport (ABV)? Opening hours, rest areas and services for long layovers. See also the airport guide for general information.

Spending the night at the airport

Abuja airport is a very crowded and hot place and does not have comfortable facilities for resting.

Where to rest: There are no comfortable spots inside this airport and sleeping on the floor is not recommended. On the other hand, the terminals have a few VIP lounges for passengers with a bigger budget. Some of them are even open around the clock. To find a hotel you will have to go to the city.

Baggage: The enclosure does not provide luggage storage offices.

Eating and drinking: Eateries are closed at night.

Restrooms: Shower only inside the VIP lounges, but not in the public toilets.

Services and opening hours can change. If you plan to sleep in the public area, have a plan B: some airports only let passengers with a flight stay overnight.

Tips for a long layover

  1. Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Nigeria and whether your bags are checked through.
  2. If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
  3. A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at ABV.
  4. Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
  5. Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from ABV (22 km to Abuja), and check which services run at night.
