"One piece of advice: vodka, and lots of it, or you won't get any sleep." (CB)
"Horrible nights sleep, but did manage to sleep until half 8 the following morning, woken up by the sound of Italians laughing at us." (brendy_éire)

I had a flight around 10 pm from Charleroi to Pisa, but my flight was cancelled and I was boarded in the next flight at 7 am of next day.
So I decided to sleep in airport (it was too late to get a taxi and looking for a free room, and in the morning the flight will land too early) with other cancelled flight's passengers.
It was not so bad, I could sleep on a benches, just near a big window. The cleaners was polite, noisy, but not so much.
At the early morning (around 6 o'clock) many people arrive at the airport make a lot of noise
The only bad stuff was that from windows a lot of cold air flow, and the heating was turned off in the middle of the night, so it was very cold...

"This is not a good airport. Get delayed here at your peril! I was delayed here for six hours in Nov 2001 and had no choice but to go back into town for a few extra strength brews!!!. The airport is almost solely used by Ryan Air so delays can be expected .The worst point about this airport is that their are no money changes or withdrawal facilities what-so-ever! Switch or Visa is not accepted and there is no ATM or exchange facilities so those arriving without currency should beware. The bar/cafe is overpriced and terrible. There is supposedly a restaurant doing decent food and booze but it was closed when I was there for no apparent reason. The airport is tiny and has no benches to sleep on although you can sleep on the cold tiled floor behind the unused kiosk booths. It's a shocker!"
