Spending the night at the airport

If your flight is delayed, you have a long layover, or your flight departs very early in the morning, Brussels Airport remains open 24 hours a day, and some services are available throughout the night. It is advisable to have earplugs handy, as there may occasionally be delayed flight arrivals.

Where to rest: As there are not many late-night flights, it tends to be quite calm and quiet during the early hours. The boarding area is generally the best option, with several comfortable seats to stretch your legs and some sofas to lie down on. The Schengen passenger area has many cosy armchairs and charging points for electronic devices. In addition, near the car rental counters, duty-free shops, and the B connector area, there are several good spots to relax.

For a more comfortable rest, the Sheraton hotel is located right in front of the terminal, and there are other nearby hotels with shuttle service (some free of charge). Another option is to access VIP lounges by paying at the door or using various memberships. Note that most lounges close at around 9:00–10:00 pm and reopen from 5:00 am.

Baggage: Lockers are available on the ground floor, so you can store your bags until check-in.

Eating and drinking: There is a Starbucks in the boarding area that stays open overnight.

Wi-Fi: The airport offers free and unlimited Wi-Fi access.

Other services available around the clock: Emergency medical care, ATMs, children's play areas, baby changing facilities.
