Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at DAY Airport

  Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area

Overnight Hours

While the main terminal building remains open 24 hours a day, travelers spending the night must remain in the public landside area once the single TSA security checkpoint closes for the evening (typically around 20:00 or after the day's final scheduled departure).

Resting Areas

Baggage claim and the ground floor public concourses feature long benches and seating without armrests where passengers can lie down. Packing an extra layer or travel blanket and earplugs is recommended due to terminal lighting and public announcements.

Luggage Storage

There are no lockers or luggage storage facilities available inside the terminal.

24-Hour Food & Drinks

Airport restaurants and coffee shops close by mid-evening. During the night, food and beverage options are limited to automated vending machines located throughout the landside concourse.
