  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.
 

Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport is a compact, modern, and clean facility that provides a peaceful and safe atmosphere during nighttime hours, making it a viable stopover option for early-morning travelers.

Resting Areas

Please note that once airside security checkpoints close overnight, all passengers must relocate to the public (landside) area until screening restarts early the following morning.

  • Public Departures Hall: Features several wooden benches and armrest-free seating suitable for lying down. Keep in mind that airline counter agents and early travelers begin arriving around 3:30 am, increasing noise levels.
  • Arrivals Hall: Offers dimmer lighting and a quieter environment during late hours. Most seating includes fixed armrests, meaning floor sleeping with a sleeping mat, pad, or blanket is usually the only option to stretch out.
  • Airport Lounges: Terminal lounges operate strictly during daytime hours (Air Canada Café closes at 8:00 pm) and do not provide overnight accommodations.

24-Hour Food and Beverages

Terminal restaurants and concessions shut down by 8:00 pm. However, 24-hour vending machines offering hot coffee, cold beverages, snacks, and fresh meals curated by Nourcy (Café Go) remain operational landside throughout the night.

Luggage Storage and Safety

Travelers wishing to store bags while sleeping can use the 24/7 automated storage lockers located on Level 1 in the walkway leading to the Proxi parking facility. The terminal is monitored 24/7 by airport security.

Connectivity and Restrooms

The complimentary high-speed YQB Gratuit-Free Wi-Fi remains active all night with no session time limits. Restrooms, private nursing facilities, and mobile charging outlets remain continuously accessible.
