Overnight stay at the airport

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

Nighttime Hours

Yariguíes Airport does not operate 24 hours and closes overnight. The terminal building is closed between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., meaning passengers cannot stay or sleep inside.

Sleeping Alternatives

Because no commercial or waiting facilities remain operational during the night, travelers with early morning flights should stay at nearby roadside accommodations or downtown hotels in Barrancabermeja, planning a taxi ride to arrive when the terminal reopens at 6:00 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 EJA.
  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 EJA (10 km to Barrancabermeja), and check which services run at night.
