Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at OMA Airport

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

Overnight Hours and Access

Eppley Airfield remains open 24 hours a day. However, after the final flight departs each evening and the TSA checkpoints close, passengers spending the night must remain in the public landside area until screening checkpoints reopen at 4:00 am.

Resting Areas

Most seating in the public areas features fixed armrests that prevent travelers from lying down. Consequently, travelers spending the night often sleep on carpeted floor areas. Carrying a travel mat or sleeping bag, warm layers, and earplugs to block out nighttime ambient noise and public address announcements is advised.

24-Hour Food and Amenities

OMA Market self-service kiosks operate 24 hours a day, offering snacks, fresh coffee, and bottled drinks. ATMs and family restrooms remain accessible throughout the overnight hours.

Security and Wi-Fi

The terminal is monitored by Airport Police patrols around the clock, and the complimentary Wi-Fi network operates uninterrupted.

Showers and Luggage Storage

There are no public showers or luggage storage facilities available inside the terminal.
