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
St. Louis Airport operates many domestic flights and a few international destinations, so there is usually some activity during the night. Although the terminals are open 24 hours a day, passengers staying inside the airport must spend the night in the public area once the security checkpoints close.
Where to rest: There is a limited number of seats available, so you may need to rest on the floor. Therefore, it is advisable to have a sleeping bag or blankets. There are some more comfortable benches in Concourse A and Terminal 2, but Concourse C is often preferred as it is a bit darker and quieter. In the check-in area, you can find some couches that you can arrange to form a bed. Another option is to access the airport VIP lounges, which offer more amenities, although they close at night. Additionally, there are numerous hotels nearby, some with 24-hour shuttle services.
Baggage: There are no luggage storage facilities, so you must keep your belongings with you until you can check in.
Eating and drinking: The only 24-hour options are vending machines, which can be found throughout the airport.
Wi-Fi: Free for 4 hours.
Other services open around the clock: ATMs, children's playground, baby changing facilities, pet relief areas.
