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.
 

Staying Overnight at the Airport

Given the airport's location at the final stage of the Camino de Santiago, it is common to find passengers choosing to stay overnight in the terminal, especially those with early morning flights.

Where to Rest

The terminal is considered a relatively quiet place to spend the night. Outside the check-in area, on the ground floor, you can find darker areas with seats without armrests that may be suitable for resting. On the first floor (third floor according to the original numbering) there are also more comfortable seats. The Santiago VIP Lounge, located in the boarding area, offers greater comfort but is closed during the night.

Alternatively, several nearby hotels can be reached easily by public transport or by arranging a shuttle service with the establishment.

Baggage

The luggage storage service is located in the boarding area. Its opening hours are from 5:30 am to 9:30 pm, so it is not available throughout the night.

Food and Drink

Most of the airport's dining establishments close at night. Passengers are advised to bring their own snacks and drinks if they plan to stay overnight in the terminal.

Wi-Fi Connection

The airport offers free and unlimited Wi-Fi 24 hours a day.

Other 24-Hour Services
