Overnight stay at the airport

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

Operating Hours & Overnight Stays

The main terminal building is open 24 hours a day. However, when the TSA security checkpoint closes for the night (around 9:00 pm), all passengers must wait in the public landside area. Airside concourses reopen with the morning TSA checkpoint at 3:45 am.

Resting Areas

The airport does not have dedicated sleep lounges or cots. In the public landside hall, there are armrest-free bench seats where travelers can lie down. The terminal can become cold overnight, so bringing a travel blanket or sleeping bag is advisable.

Food & 24-Hour Services

Dining concessions close between 8:00 pm and 4:00 am. Overnight services are limited to vending machines in the Ground Transportation Center, public restrooms, and an ATM.

Security & Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi runs uninterrupted 24/7, and the terminal is continuously monitored by airport security staff and local police patrol officers.

Luggage Storage

No luggage storage or locker facilities are available on airport grounds.

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 United States 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 ISP.
  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 ISP (11 km to Islip), and check which services run at night.
