Overnight stay at the airport

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

Overnight closures and staying overnight

Staying overnight inside Camilo Daza International Airport is neither permitted nor feasible. The air terminal does not run a continuous 24-hour operation and completely shuts down every night between 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and 5:00 a.m., during which the building is vacated and security checkpoints close.

Recommendations for early departures

Because retail outlets, restaurants, and lounges do not operate during nighttime hours, travelers scheduled on early-morning flights or arriving late on connections should arrange hotel accommodation in nearby properties along Avenida Camilo Daza or in downtown Cúcuta, returning to the airport when doors reopen at 5:00 a.m.

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 Colombia 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 CUC.
  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 CUC (5 km to Cucuta), and check which services run at night.
