Can you spend the night at the airport?
The terminals remain open 24 hours a day, so passengers with connections or canceled flights may choose to stay at the airport and save extra expenses on hotels and transfers. However, most services cease operations at midnight.Where to rest?
Although there are more comfortable benches in Terminal 2, unfortunately most seats have armrests, which makes it almost mandatory to sleep on the floor. For that, it is good to have a sleeping bag and a blanket, since the air conditioning tends to be quite strong. Another option for more comfort is to access one of the VIP lounges, a couple of which are open 24 hours (although with a maximum stay of 4–5 hours). For uninterrupted rest, there are some hotels near the airport, and if you book in advance you can arrange your transfer directly with them.Is luggage storage available 24 hours?
