Overnight stay at the airport

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

Overnight Hours

Rio Branco Airport remains open 24 hours a day, as several commercial flights arrive and depart during the early morning hours. Passengers with early morning flights may wait inside the terminal overnight.

Where to Rest

Seating throughout the public and departure halls consists of standard metal chairs with armrests, making it difficult to lie down. It is recommended to bring warm clothing, a blanket, or a sleeping bag if you plan to rest on the floor due to nighttime air conditioning.

Luggage

There are no left-luggage or locker facilities, meaning you must keep your bags with you until airline check-in opens.

Nighttime Food and Drinks

The cafeteria closes at night. During overnight hours, only automatic vending machines with coffee, cold drinks, and snacks are accessible.

Security and Wi-Fi

The terminal has 24-hour security personnel on site, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi access 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.

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 RBR.
  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 RBR (25 km to Rio Branco), and check which services run at night.
