The terminal closes its doors overnight after the arrival of the day's final scheduled flight (around 22:30) and reopens in the morning (around 06:30 or 07:00) ahead of early departures. For security reasons enforced by Airport Security Police (PSA), passengers are not permitted to stay overnight inside the building when flights are not operating.
Advice for early morning flights
If you have an early morning departure, the recommended approach is to book overnight accommodation in downtown Bariloche or nearby Dina Huapi, heading to the airport about two hours before departure when the terminal and check-in desks reopen.
Overnight facilities
There are no restaurants, shops, pharmacies, or lounges operating overnight inside the terminal. During regular daytime operating hours, travelers can make use of ATMs, dining options, and free terminal Wi-Fi.
