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

 
Please note that published services and schedules may change. If you plan to spend the night in the public area, have a plan B in case the airport only allows passengers with an upcoming flight to stay inside.
 

Overnight Stays and Operating Hours

Trelew Airport is not set up for overnight stays or extended sleepovers. While air traffic control remains operational 24 hours, the terminal building opens primarily around scheduled commercial flight windows. It does not offer comfortable rest zones, as the public seating has armrests and terminal lighting stays on.

Available Overnight Services

During late-night and early-morning hours, dining facilities, shops, and rental car desks are closed. Only airport security staff (PSA), the ATM, and complimentary Wi-Fi remain accessible. If you have an overnight layover or an early flight, booking a hotel in downtown Trelew or Puerto Madryn is advised.
