Overnight stay at the airport

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

Bengaluru Airport is a modern facility that operates 24 hours a day. However, the overnight experience varies considerably between its terminals: while Terminal 2 offers a more spacious, attractive and quieter environment, Terminal 1 is often noisy and crowded due to the high volume of domestic flights. Bringing warm clothing is recommended, as the air-conditioning system generally maintains low temperatures during the early hours of the morning.

Rest Areas and Comfort

In the public areas of both terminals, most seats are fitted with fixed armrests, making it difficult to lie down. Thanks to its "garden terminal" design, Terminal 2 offers quieter corners and a more relaxed atmosphere for passengers looking for a place to sit and rest. For a higher level of comfort, the recommended options are the 080 Transit Hotel, located in the departure areas of both terminals, or access to the 080 Lounges, which feature dedicated relaxation areas and operate around the clock.

Baggage Management

To rest more comfortably, the airport provides left-luggage facilities operating 24 hours a day. These are located in the arrivals area of Terminal 1 and on Level 0 of Terminal 2, allowing passengers to store their luggage securely before check-in.

Services Available Overnight

  • Food and drink: Several cafés and fast-food outlets remain open 24 hours a day in the departures and arrivals areas of both terminals.
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi is free for the first 2 hours. Extended use requires the BLR Pulse app.
  • Showers: There are no public shower facilities within the terminals; this service is available exclusively inside selected airport lounges.
  • Other services: Cash machines, prayer rooms, baby care facilities and Duty Free shops remain accessible throughout the night.

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 India 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 BLR.
  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 BLR (35 km to Bengaluru), and check which services run at night.
