Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at PKX Airport

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

Beijing Daxing Airport remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with long stopovers or early morning flights to spend the night within its facilities. The airport offers a wide range of amenities to make waiting more comfortable, including a yoga room, indoor gardens, spas, restaurants and a varied selection of shops.

Where to rest

Although the standard terminal seating includes armrests (making it difficult to lie down completely), there are some more comfortable alternatives within the airport:

• Padded benches: In front of Gate E80 you will find long padded benches, ideal for stretching out.
• Reclining chairs: Reclining chairs are distributed throughout the terminal, although in limited numbers.
• Quiet areas: It is recommended to look for enclosed areas or side corridors away from the main bustle in order to reduce ambient noise.

Useful recommendations: Bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones, a light blanket (air conditioning temperatures may feel cold) and a travel pillow for greater comfort. Some travellers choose to lie on the carpeted floor using an insulating mat, although this is less common.

More comfortable alternatives

If your budget allows, there are more comfortable options for overnight rest:

• NapHubs (private cabins): Located in the international arrivals hall on the first floor. These are soundproof cabins equipped with a bed, adjustable lighting and charging ports, ideal for a few hours of sleep.
• Meichen Hotel Beijing Daxing International Airport: Directly connected to the terminal (a 5-minute walk away). It offers rooms by the hour (day-use stays) as well as overnight rates.
• Mumian Beijing Daxing International Airport: Just 300 metres from the airport. In many cases, it also offers hourly booking options.
• Lounges: Some lounges, such as the BCS International Lounge or the East Pacific Passenger Lounge, provide more comfortable seating and showers, although most lounges close during the early hours of the morning. Access is restricted to programme members or available through paid entry.

Food and Drink

You will not go hungry or thirsty during the night. On Levels 2, 3 and 5 of the terminal you will find multiple dining options open 24 hours a day, including restaurants, cafés and fast-food outlets.

Baggage

The airport provides a left-luggage service operating 24 hours a day in the eastern area of the domestic arrivals hall (second floor). There are also automated smart lockers in the domestic departures area on the second floor (available until the last flight).

Showers

Showers are not available in the airport’s general public areas. They can only be accessed if you are using a lounge that provides this service (such as the China Eastern V5 Lounge or East Pacific Passenger Lounge) or if you book a room at the Meichen Hotel or one of the NapHubs cabins.

Free Wi-Fi

Enjoy free, unlimited and high-speed (5G) Wi-Fi access throughout the terminal. To connect, you must register with your mobile phone number in order to receive a verification code by SMS. If you do not have international roaming, you may use one of the self-service kiosks located throughout the airport that issue temporary access codes.

Other 24-hour services available

In addition to the services mentioned above, the following also operate continuously overnight:

• Cash machines
• Currency exchange offices
• Children's entertainment areas (selected zones)
• Yoga room
• Convenience stores (various locations)
• Duty-free shops (international area)
• Information desks (limited overnight assistance, but still operational)

Important: Although the airport is safe and well lit, spending the night in public areas involves a certain level of noise (public announcements, overnight cleaning, passenger movement). It is recommended to bring an eye mask and hearing protection for better-quality rest. Always check your departure flight schedule to avoid oversleeping.

This variety ensures that both passengers on short stopovers and those with longer stays can find an option suited to their needs.
