John Lennon Airport remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with early morning flights or overnight layovers to stay inside the terminal. However, it is important to note that there are no rest facilities specifically designed for sleeping (such as cabins or pods), so the experience may be limited in terms of comfort.
Where to rest
Common areas: Most seating in the public (landside) and boarding (airside) areas is metallic and fitted with armrests, which makes lying down difficult. Travellers usually find greater comfort on the upper floor of the boarding area, near the food outlets, where there are some benches with light padding.
Environmental conditions: The terminal is usually quite cold at night and maintains bright lighting, in addition to constant public address announcements. Travelling with blankets, earplugs and an eye mask is recommended. If you are looking for uninterrupted rest, the most viable option is the Hampton by Hilton hotel, located directly opposite the terminal.
Lounges: The Aspire Lounge offers a much more comfortable environment, but it closes overnight, so it is not an option for staying the night.
Food and 24-hour services
Unlike most commercial outlets that close after the last flight, there is usually a convenience shop in the arrivals area (ground floor) that operates 24 hours a day, allowing passengers to purchase basic snacks and drinks during the early hours. Vending machines are also available in various parts of the terminal.
Luggage and Wi-Fi
- Luggage: Please note that the airport does not provide left luggage facilities or baggage storage offices for security reasons. You must remain with your belongings at all times.
- Wi-Fi: The internet connection service is free for 4 hours, making it easier to stay entertained or work during the overnight wait.
Other available services
Cash machines, baby care rooms and the prayer room remain accessible throughout the night for passengers staying in the terminal.
