Spending the Night at the Airport
Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport (CPH) is known for being one of the most comfortable airports to spend the night in, especially for passengers in transit or with early flights. The terminals remain open 24 hours and offer several services, making it a convenient option to avoid additional expenses on transfers and hotels.
Where to Rest
The boarding areas are usually the most suitable for finding a quiet spot. Comfortable chairs can be found in various locations. Some of the areas recommended by travellers include:
- Near gates C70 and D1.
- The A and B concourses, which are usually quieter at night.
- Near gates C2 and C3, where sofas with dim lighting and power outlets for charging devices can be found.
- In Terminal 2, near the toilets and by gates A18-A34, seats without armrests can be found.
- Near gate C10 in Terminal 3, where there are comfortable armchairs.
To secure a good spot, it is recommended to arrive before midnight. Bringing a blanket and an eye mask is advisable, as the airport can get chilly at night and some areas may remain lit.
