Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area
Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board.
Spending the night at the airport
Anchorage Airport is open 24 hours a day, so you can spend the night inside the enclosure if you have an early morning flight or if your flight is delayed. However, the place is small and facilities are limited. There are announcements throughout the night, so earplugs or noise-canceling headphones and a sleeping mask are recommended, especially during the summer, when the nights in Alaska are very short.
Where to rest: Concourse C has several rows of seats without armrests. On the other hand, the quietest places to rest are by gates C1 and C9 and in the check-in area. Inside the South Terminal, there are a couple of VIP lounges with greater comfort and privacy, although they are closed at night. Some accommodations near the airport operate shuttle services.
Baggage: Luggage storage offices inside the South Terminal from 4:00 am to 0:00 am.
Eating and drinking: Only vending machines are available at night.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby changing facilities, pet relief areas.
