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

Where to rest: There are not many comfortable spots inside the terminal, so it’s advisable to have a sleeping bag or blankets if you plan to sleep on the floor.

Eating and drinking: Food outlets close at night.
