Spending the night at the airport
If you have an early morning flight and plan to spend the night at Beirut Airport, it is a viable option, but there are a few important considerations to ensure your stay is safe and comfortable. Make sure to bring basic supplies like an inflatable pillow and a light blanket. Keep your belongings secure at all times and, if your flight is early, check with your airline regarding the check-in counter opening time.
