Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area
Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board.
Spending the night at the airport
Dhaka Airport is an old facility, and although it remains open 24 hours a day, it lacks many amenities, so having a backup plan is advisable.
Where to rest: There are limited options for sleeping inside the airport, but a waiting room in the International Departures area has slightly more comfortable seating, along with power outlets for your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet. Some VIP lounges are open around the clock, though they may have a maximum stay limit. The best option is to book a hotel, some of which also provide shuttle services.
Baggage: You will need to keep your bags with you until check-in, as there is no left-luggage service.
Eating and drinking: Shops and eateries close at night.
Restrooms: Showers are available in some VIP lounges.
Wi-Fi: The service is free of charge.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby changing facilities.
