Some backpackers had spent the night at the 24 hour McDonalds. They had not gotten much sleep and had to buy periodic Big Macs. -unknown

Been in this airport a number of times, and I must say it is still one of the best airports to spend the night in! Chairs are comfortable to sleep over, and it feels very safe. If you want a cafe to hang out, Cafe Tori has free charging for your electronics (which is great for the free wifi!), and will even give you a nice free cuppa hot water. Really good if u want to make some hot instant noodles (since most of the airport fare is cold :/)! Avoid Go!Cafe - it's bad enough that their selection of food is limited, but they even charge 1 per cup of plain hot water!
