Spending the Night at the Airport

Milan Linate Airport operates 24 hours a day and, although it is not designed for long overnight stays, it is a safe place if you need to spend the night due to early morning flights or late connections. However, do not expect great comfort.

It is advisable to remain in the check-in area or the departures zone before going through security, as security staff may redirect passengers who stay in other areas.

Where to Rest

Comfortable resting options are limited:

  • Most seating areas consist of metal chairs with armrests, making it difficult to lie down.
  • In the arrivals area, especially near the food court (even though it closes at night), you may find some carpeted areas and more comfortable armchairs. This zone also usually has power outlets available for charging devices.
  • Some passengers have reported that the area near Gate 20 offers a relatively quieter place to settle.
  • If you plan to sleep on the floor, it is highly recommended to bring a blanket or sleeping bag for greater comfort.
  • The VIP lounges inside the terminal are not an option for overnight stays, as they close after the last flight.

For greater comfort, consider the hotel options in the vicinity of the airport.

Luggage

The luggage storage service is currently unavailable, so you will need to stay with your bags if you plan to spend the night.

Food and Drink

The dining offer is very limited during the night. There are no 24-hour food or drink establishments, so it is advisable to buy something before they close or bring your own snacks.

Wi-Fi

Free and unlimited Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal, allowing you to stay connected during your overnight stay.

Other Services Available 24 Hours

Although most services close at night, you can rely on:

  • Cash machines.
  • Baby care facilities.
  • Children’s play area (although it may not be suitable for night-time rest).
