Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (BOG)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

The airport is a modern facility that operates 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with overnight layovers or early morning flights to spend the night inside the terminal. However, due to Bogotá's high altitude, temperatures drop considerably at night, so bringing a jacket or blanket is highly recommended for a more comfortable rest.

Rest Areas and Comfort

Terminal 1 is the best option for spending the night thanks to its spacious layout and wide range of services. In the public (landside) areas, there are metal benches, although many have armrests that make lying down difficult. After passing through security (airside), particularly in the domestic boarding areas, travelers can find more padded seats without armrests.

For those seeking a higher level of comfort without leaving the airport, the following options are available:

• Wait N' Rest: Private sleep-box rooms in the international area (Concourse A, between Gates A12 and A13), available by the hour.
• Sleep Oasis: Private sleeping cabins located on the second floor of Terminal 1 (public area), ideal for short layovers.
• VIP Lounges: Lounges such as El Dorado Lounge and The Lounge Bogotá are open 24 hours a day and offer climate-controlled spaces with comfortable sofas and premium amenities.

24-Hour Services

Passengers staying overnight have access to several essential services around the clock:

• Dining: Several restaurants in the food court (third floor) and throughout the boarding concourses remain open, serving coffee, snacks, and fast food.
• Baggage Storage: Left luggage facilities in both terminals operate 24 hours a day, allowing travelers to rest without carrying their bags.
• Financial Services: Currency exchange offices and ATMs are available throughout the arrivals and departures levels.
• Medical Services: First aid stations and the airport health unit are available for medical emergencies.

Shower Facilities

The airport does not provide free public showers. Shower facilities are available exclusively to guests of the following facilities:

• VIP Lounges: El Dorado Lounge (International), LATAM VIP Lounge, and The Lounge Bogotá (International).
• Wait N' Rest: Private rooms in the international area include en-suite bathrooms with showers.

Safety and Recommendations

The airport is regularly patrolled by security personnel and police officers. During the night, passengers may be asked to present their passport and flight reservation to verify their presence in the terminal. Keep your belongings within sight at all times or use the baggage storage service for added peace of mind. If you decide to sleep on the floor, look for carpeted areas near the boarding gates, as the marble floors in the public areas become very cold overnight.

Internet Access

Unlimited internet access is available through the official "Aeropuerto_El_Dorado" Wi-Fi network. The connection is stable throughout most of Terminal 1, making it suitable for both entertainment and remote work during long waits.

Hotels

El Dorado Airport offers several accommodation options designed for both transit passengers who prefer to remain within the secure area and travelers looking for the comfort and amenities of nearby full-service hotels. Most hotels in the surrounding area provide complimentary airport shuttle service coordinated with flight schedules.
