Spending the night at the airport
Debrecen airport has a small terminal and fairly basic facilities, but it is open 24 hours a day, so you can spend the night indoors if you have an early morning flight or if your flight is delayed.
Where to rest: There are benches in the waiting areas where you can sit and wait for your flight, but to rest you will most likely have to lie down on the floor. Make sure you bring something to keep you comfortable, such as a pillow and blanket, and something to keep you entertained, such as a book or electronic device. If you prefer more comfort, you can look for a hotel near the airport. See below for a list of the closest hotels.
Baggage: Luggage storage is not available. This means you will have to stay with your bags until check-in.
Eating and drinking: The shops inside the terminal close at night. Have refreshments ready beforehand.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available 24 hours a day: ATMs, baby changing facilities, children's playground.

Tips for a long layover
- Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Hungary and whether your bags are checked through.
- If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
- A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at DEB.
- Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
- Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from DEB (3 km to Debrecen), and check which services run at night.
