Overnight stay at the airport

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

Overnight Hours and Terminal Closure

Seville Airport is not open 24 hours a day. The passenger terminal closes during the early morning hours, typically between 1:30 am and 4:30 am (opening at 3:30 am on dates with early morning flight schedules).

Sleeping in the Terminal

Once daily operations conclude and security checkpoints close, passengers are not permitted to remain airside at boarding gates. Travelers arriving on late flights or waiting for early morning departures must stay in the public landside area.

The public lobby offers armrest-free bench seating where travelers can lie down. Airport security personnel and police routinely inspect passenger boarding passes or flight reservations to authorize staying overnight during terminal closing hours.

Overnight Services and Tips

No restaurants, cafés, or pharmacies operate 24 hours inside the airport. If you plan to spend the night, make sure to purchase food and beverages beforehand. The terminal's Wi-Fi network stays on, and the building is relatively quiet, though temperatures can drop during winter months, making warm clothing advisable.

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 Spain 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 SVQ.
  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 SVQ (10 km to Seville), and check which services run at night.
