Although the terminal closes one hour after the last flight (approximately 11:00 pm) and reopens two hours before the first flight, if you arrive before closing time and show your flight reservation stating that you have an early morning flight, the authorities will let you spend the night on the premises. This way, passengers on a budget can avoid extra costs for transfers and hotels.
