Overnight stay at the airport

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

Spending the night at Bergamo Airport is possible, as it operates 24 hours a day. However, it is important to take some considerations into account to ensure the most comfortable experience possible, especially if you decide to stay overnight outside the restricted-access areas.

Accommodation and Comfort

  • Rest Areas: Although the airport is open 24 hours, you must remain in the public area once the security checks close at night. Most seats are metal and not very comfortable, so it is advisable to have a travel mat or blanket if you plan to sleep on the floor.
  • Temperature: The air conditioning is usually set to a low temperature, so it is recommended to bring warm clothing or a blanket to avoid the cold during the night.
  • Interruptions: Airport staff may carry out rounds and may try to wake you up, especially in the early hours of the morning (after 3:00 am).

Paid options:

  • VIP Lounges: Although they close at night, they are an excellent option for resting and enjoying greater comfort and privacy during their operating hours.
  • ZZZleepandGo Private Cabins: Located inside the terminal, these cabins offer a private and quiet space to rest for short periods or overnight.
  • Nearby Hotels: NH Orio al Serio is located opposite the airport grounds, and there are other hotels in the surrounding area offering accommodation.

Luggage Management

The luggage storage service operates with limited hours, from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. This means that if you arrive or depart outside these hours, you will have to stay with your luggage until you can check it in or collect it.

Food and Drinks

There are not many food or drink options open 24 hours in the public area. It is recommended to bring snacks, drinks and any other necessary food prepared in advance if you plan to stay overnight.

Connectivity

The airport offers free and unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the terminal, making it easy to stay connected during your wait.

Other 24-Hour Services

Cash machines are available 24 hours a day, providing access to banking services at any time.

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 Italy 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 BGY.
  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 BGY (3.7 km to Bergamo), and check which services run at night.
