Spending the Night at the Airport

Spending the night at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport is a viable option for many passengers, especially those with early morning connecting flights or travelling on a tight budget, as the airport remains open 24 hours a day. Although it may pose challenges such as seat comfort and the general environment, the airport offers several services available throughout the night.

Where to Rest?

The comfort for resting varies between terminals. Terminal 1 generally has fewer comfortable seats, while Terminals 2, 3, and 4 offer more bench options. Some of these, especially in the boarding areas, have no armrests, making them suitable for lying down. In Terminal 4 Satellite, near gates S48-S50, you can find reclining chairs, and near gate D62 in Terminal 4, there are a few padded benches that are more comfortable, although limited.

Resting Tips: Bear in mind that public areas lack privacy and lights usually stay on. It is advisable to bring an eye mask and earplugs. If you need to sleep on the floor, a blanket may be useful, as temperatures can drop during the night. Children’s play areas may provide slightly more comfortable spaces.

Paid Options: Inside the airport, you can opt for Air Rooms or Gettsleep sleeping cabins, which offer private rooms and individual cabins for overnight stays or hourly rest. Another alternative is to use one of the VIP lounges, some of which are open 24 hours and accessible with membership or direct payment.

Security: The airport has frequent security patrols during the night, contributing to a safe environment for overnight passengers.

Is There Left Luggage Service?

Yes, the left luggage service is available from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm in Terminals 1, 2, and 4.

Are There 24-Hour Food and Drink Options?

Yes, there is a variety of food outlets available 24 hours across the terminals, including cafés and fast-food restaurants. In addition, you will find vending machines with drinks, sandwiches, and snacks.

Are Showers Available at Madrid Airport?

Showers are available exclusively inside the VIP lounges and in the Air Rooms and sleeping cabins.
