Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area
The enclosure has three terminals that are open 24 hours a day. Therefore, passengers with connecting flights or early morning departures have the opportunity to spend the night inside the airport. The three buildings are connected by an express bus. Terminal 1 is the smallest, Terminal 2 the largest, and Terminal 3 the most modern.
Where to rest: According to passenger experience, this is not an airport that stands out for its resting comfort. There are few areas with seats, and most of them have armrests, which does not allow for lying down. If you are in the public area, be careful with your belongings, since at night there are usually people who are not passengers walking around the premises.
Terminal 3 is the most comfortable for waiting. As the floors are usually not carpeted, it is useful to have a sleeping bag. Next to some of the restaurants in this building you will also find more comfortable armchairs that allow you to lie down. Earplugs or noise-canceling headphones are also highly recommended.
Passengers with a VIP lounge pass have the opportunity to enjoy more comfort. If you have the budget to pay for accommodation, there is a transit hotel in Terminal 3, and sleeping pods are available in Terminal 2.
Baggage: Left-luggage services are available in terminals 2 and 3, but only the former is available 24 hours a day.
Eating and drinking: All terminals have dining options that remain open throughout the night. Some of them are Casa do Pão de Queijo, Living Heineken, McDonald's, Monster, Pizza Hut, Subway.
Restrooms: Showers available in several of the VIP lounges.
Wi-Fi: Free access for 4 hours.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, currency exchange bureaus, commercial and duty-free stores, baby changing facilities.
