A really nice airport! They had nice long benches on which to sleep, the place was secure yet no security ever bothered me or any of the scattering of other people getting there heads down even when i got my sleeping bag and roll mat out. There was a 24 hour bar/cafe in the main terminal that sold, all be it at vast cost, sandwiches and beer and the staff were really sound and didn't mind me nursing a pint or 2 hours.
My only gripes are that it was a tad cold so be prepared to wrap up warm and their are a ridiculous amount of stupid announcements telling all these sleeping people that they are not allowed to smoke inside that always seemed to blare out just as i was nodding off!
Other than this it was a great airport

"I arrived at this airport at 1am, in order to make a flight at 7:30am to Prague. The early train was not early enough unfortunately so I was forced to travel at night.
Sleeping here was impossible. The seats are comfortable enough, however there are annoying automated announcements every 10 minutes. Also silly buggy things with bleeping sirens kept rattling past every few minutes. Noise was quite horrendous. Still sticks in my craw 2 years later."
