Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area
Nighttime Hours and Terminal Access
The passenger terminal remains open 24 hours a day, making it possible to spend the night inside the building if you have an early morning departure or arrive late at night.
Resting Areas
In the public landside concourse, most seating features fixed armrests, which makes lying down challenging. Once security checkpoints open early in the morning, the airside departure hall on the upper floor provides quieter, carpeted spaces with less foot traffic. It is advisable to pack warm clothing or a light blanket and earplugs, as air conditioning and lighting stay on throughout the night.
Overnight Safety and Connectivity
The building is continuously monitored by airport security staff. Free Wi-Fi connectivity and public restrooms remain accessible around the clock.
Late-Night Amenities
Dining outlets, shops, and the VIP lounge close between 23:00 and 23:30, resuming service around 04:00 or 05:00. If you require snacks or drinks overnight, it is best to purchase them before closing or use vending machines. ATMs in the public hall operate 24 hours. The airport does not have public showers or luggage storage facilities.
