Overnight stay at the airport

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

Overnight Hours

Ribeirão Preto Airport remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers to stay overnight in the terminal for early morning flights or late arrivals.

Rest Areas

Given the airport's regional size, resting options are limited. Benches in the public and pre-boarding halls are standard and have armrests, making it difficult to lie down comfortably. There are no quiet rooms or sleeping pods. Bringing a travel blanket or warm clothing is recommended if spending the night.

Luggage Storage

The airport does not offer luggage storage or locker services, meaning you must keep your baggage with you until check-in opens.

24-Hour Food and Retail

Cafés, dining options, and Boulevard retail stores close late at night after the last flight departure and reopen before 4:30 am. Passengers staying overnight should purchase refreshments beforehand.

Security and Wi-Fi

The terminal features 24-hour private security patrol, round-the-clock public restrooms, and free Wi-Fi service available throughout the night.

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.

Hotels at and near RAO

There are no hotels or sleeping cabins located inside the passenger terminal or on airport grounds. City hotels do not provide free airport shuttle service; transportation is handled via taxis or ride-hailing apps.

Tips for a long layover

  1. Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Brazil 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 RAO.
  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 RAO (10 km to Ribeirao Preto), and check which services run at night.
