Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at LED Airport

  Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area

Pulkovo Airport is a modern and functional terminal that remains open 24 hours a day. It is considered a safe and relatively comfortable place to spend the night, especially for travellers with connecting flights or early morning departures.

Where to Rest

Although most seating in the boarding areas is metallic and fitted with armrests, travellers usually find greater comfort on Level 2, where there are cushioned benches and quieter areas away from the main passenger flow. The terminal is spacious, making it possible to find corners with less foot traffic, although it is recommended to bring warm clothing or a blanket, as temperatures tend to drop during the early hours and the air conditioning can be quite strong.

For higher-quality rest without leaving the building, the Aerosleep Capsule Hotel on the second floor offers private cabins that can be rented by the hour. If you prefer a conventional hotel experience, the Cosmos Saint-Petersburg Pulkovo Airport Hotel can be accessed directly via a covered walkway from the terminal.

Luggage

To rest more comfortably, the luggage storage service located on the ground floor operates 24 hours a day. This allows you to leave checked or carry-on baggage in a secure place until it is time to check in or board your flight.

Dining and 24-hour Services

You will have no trouble finding food or drinks during the night. Several cafés, fast-food outlets and convenience shops in the departures and arrivals areas remain open continuously. In addition, cash machines, currency exchange offices and the luggage wrapping service are also available 24 hours a day.

Toilets and Showers

The terminal’s toilets are modern and well distributed. It is important to note that shower facilities are available exclusively within the Business Lounges, which operate 24 hours a day but require payment of an access fee or a compatible membership.

Connectivity

The airport provides free and unlimited Wi-Fi. However, keep in mind that accessing the network usually requires completing an authentication process that may involve receiving a code via SMS on an active phone number.

 Hotels

The airport offers accommodation options integrated within its facilities as well as a varied range of hotels in the surrounding area, making it easier for passengers in transit or with late-night flights to rest comfortably.
