I finally waved a 100 dollar bill in his face and a stamp was smacked into my passport allowing me to enter PY. He also gave me his phone number and told me to contact him if i had any problems and he would help me night or day. – Sebastian
Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Asunción Airport (ASU).
What to Expect
Asunción Airport has one terminal divided into two small concourses. Facilities include shops and eateries, including an airside cafe open 24 hours. Free WiFi helps pass the time. For added comfort, economy-class passengers can access the airport lounge with a paid membership. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for its location and rates.
Sleeping in Asuncion Airport
The airport is open 24 hours, but the secure airside closes when no flights are scheduled, so you may have to spend the night landside. All seats have armrests, making the floor your best bet for some decent rest. A travel mat, blanket, or sleeping bag will help. Security and police presence is common. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer shuttle service. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

Security & Safety
Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
