Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at VVO Airport

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

Vladivostok Airport remains open 24 hours a day, allowing passengers with early morning flights or overnight layovers to stay inside the terminal. As a modern building inaugurated for the APEC summit, it offers a safe and clean environment, although sleeping comfort options are limited.

Where to rest

Most seating in the public and departure areas consists of metal benches with fixed armrests, which prevent passengers from fully lying down. However, on the third floor (departure area), it is possible to find some individual seats with light padding that are more comfortable. If you plan to sleep on the floor, it is strongly recommended to bring a blanket or insulating mat, as the tiled surface tends to be cold, especially in winter. The area near the Mother and Child Room is generally quieter for those travelling with children.

Factors to consider

• Climate: Given its geographical location, the terminal can become very cold at night, particularly near large windows and access doors. Appropriate warm clothing or a travel blanket is essential.
• Lighting and noise: Terminal lights remain fully on throughout the night and public address announcements are frequent. An eye mask and earplugs are recommended for better rest.
• Security: The airport is generally safe and has regular security patrols, but passengers are advised to keep personal belongings under supervision or use the luggage storage service.

24-hour services available

For those spending the night at the airport, several key services remain operational:

• Food and drink: Cafés and fast-food outlets on the first and third floors operate continuously, along with vending machines for snacks and beverages.
• Luggage storage: The left-luggage office on the first floor operates 24 hours a day, allowing passengers to rest without worrying about their bags.
• Connectivity: Free unlimited Wi-Fi is available at all times.
• Financial services: ATMs located in the main hall are accessible throughout the night.

More comfortable alternatives

If your budget allows and you are looking for proper rest, there are two options within Terminal A itself:

• Visti Stay: A transit hotel located on the third floor of the public area, offering small and functional rooms for overnight stays or short rest periods without leaving the airport.
• VIP lounges: The Laguna Lounge and Primorye Lounge are open 24 hours. Although they have a time limit (usually 3 hours), they offer a much quieter environment, comfortable seating and refreshments.
