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
Berlin Brandenburg Airport operates numerous flights and connections, so there is usually activity even during the night and early morning hours. The facilities are modern and generally well-heated. Although it's not an ideal experience, the enclosure offers amenities that allow you to rest overnight. It is important to have your passport and plane ticket at hand in case they are requested by security staff.
Where to rest: There are several seats available in the terminals, although most have armrests. You can find more comfortable benches outside the chapel, as well as in front of gate A2. Some restaurants also have cushioned benches, such as
Burger King in Terminal 1. Accessing one of the airport's VIP lounges will provide greater comfort, but keep in mind they close at night. If your budget allows, there are a couple of hotels near the terminals, and sleeping cabins are available in the airport's train station. Alternatively, many nearby hotels offer shuttle services for their guests.
