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
Cardiff airport's small terminal is open 24 hours a day, so you can spend the night inside the airport and it's fairly quiet. However, there is no on-site accommodation, so you may need to look for alternative options if you plan to stay.
Where to rest: The seats are made of metal and not very comfortable, so it is advisable to bring a sleeping bag or mat if you prefer to lie on the floor. There is a VIP lounge in the Departures Hall which offers more comfort, but it is closed at night. There are a number of nearby hotels below.
Baggage: There are no lockers or luggage storage facilities in the terminal.
Eating and drinking: The food outlets available are closed at night.
Wi-Fi: Free for 2 hours.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby changing facilities, prayer room.
