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.

Confins International Airport (CNF) operates 24 hours a day and is a safe hub for staying overnight. However, it is important to know that activity decreases drastically during the early morning hours and that, unlike other large airports, comfortable free rest options are limited due to the furniture design.

Where to rest

Public Areas: Most benches in the terminal (both in the public and boarding areas) have fixed metal armrests, making it almost impossible to lie down. If you do not wish to pay for accommodation, your best option is to find a quiet spot on the carpeted floor of the boarding lounge or on the upper level (terrace); therefore, bringing a thermal blanket or sleeping bag is recommended.

Sleep Cabins (Siesta Box):
An excellent recent addition for transit passengers. These are private, soundproof cabins with a bed, TV, and air conditioning.
Location: Domestic Boarding Area (Airside).
Access: Rented by the hour. Ideal for a safe nap without leaving the restricted zone.

VIP Lounges:
Please note that VIP lounges are not open all night. Both the Ambaar and Advantage lounges usually close between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm, reopening around 4:00 am or 4:30 am. Do not rely on them for overnight stays.

Luggage

If you need to store your bags to move freely or rest, use the digital locker service.
Service: Cliquelocker (Automated lockers).
Location: Central outdoor area of Terminal 1 (Ground Floor), accessible from the curb.
Hours: Available 24 hours.

Food

Fortunately, Confins offers good options for eating in the early morning, which is uncommon in regional airports.
Open 24 hours:
- California Coffee (Domestic Boarding, near gate 29).
- Barão Mineiro (Domestic Boarding, gates 20-21).
- Rokkon (Japanese food, Ground Floor public area).
