Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area
The airport remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with early morning flights or overnight connections to stay in the terminal. While it is a safe facility, it is a medium-sized airport where services are significantly reduced during the early hours of the morning.
Rest Areas and Comfort
For those looking for a place to rest, there are notable differences depending on the location:
- Airside (Boarding Area): This is the most recommended area by travellers due to the presence of more comfortable seating and a more sheltered environment. Some seats at the boarding gates do not have armrests, making it easier to lie down fully.
- Landside (Public Area): Seating is more limited and usually has metal armrests. It is recommended to look for areas near closed cafés or quieter corners on the departures level.
Note: The terminal can become quite cold during the night and the public address system may be disruptive. It is advisable to have travel blankets, warm clothing and earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones.
Services Available Overnight
Food and Drink: Most dining outlets and convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven or Pressbyrån) close between midnight and 4:30 am. During this period, the only available options for food and beverages are the vending machines located throughout the terminal.
Baggage: There is no luggage storage or lockers available inside the terminal. Travellers must keep their belongings with them at all times.
Connectivity: Free Wi-Fi is available for up to 3 hours or 100 MB. If you plan to stay overnight, be aware that you may need to reconnect or use your own data once the initial limit has been reached.
Accommodation Alternatives
If you prefer an uninterrupted night’s rest, the Scandic Landvetter and the Landvetter Airport Hotel are located less than 200 metres from the terminal. Both offer higher levels of comfort and are accessible on foot within a few minutes, eliminating the need for overnight transfers.
