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
Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv is a large and busy place, making it difficult to find areas to rest. There is also a lot of noise and bright lights. Be sure to bring earplugs and a sleep mask, and keep your ticket handy, as security staff may ask for it to allow you to stay inside the terminal.
Where to rest: Most airport seats have armrests, but you can find some more comfortable chairs in the boarding area, near the food court. There are several VIP lounges inside Terminal 3, one of which is open 24 hours a day, although with a maximum stay of 2 hours. As for hotels, the nearest ones are in the city centre.
Baggage: There are several lockers around the terminal where you can store your bags until check-in.
Eating and drinking: There are several dining options throughout the terminals, but none remain open overnight, except for some vending machines.
Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.
Other services available around the clock: ATMs, currency exchange offices, synagogues, baby care facilities.
