quite nice night
    by sofi (September, 2011)
Reason for Stay: Early flight departure
Where: Landside
Pros: safe
Cons: too noisy
After reading some reviews I was quite frightened, but I decide to risk it. It was quite crowded, a lot of young people waiting for their morning flights. I found some metal seats without armchairs and slept there. I had my sleep in bag so it was ok. THere were all night long people cleaning with some noisy machines, and a lot of people hanging around. In addition very frequently there were warning announcements concerning baggages safety.
Conclusion : my biggest fear was to be there alone
but finally it was something more than safe. I was very glad to hear people wake me up with their voices!
PS I dont know how it would be in some winter month without any people around...1 person found this review helpful Was this Helpful?

Where: Landside
Located upon the border of Switzerland and France - and also close to Germany - the very modern and ultra clean Basel (German) or Bale (French) "EuroAirport" has a Swiss sector and an EU sector, which are separated by full immigration / customs controls. I stayed overnight in the Swiss sector, prior to a 0700 departure on EasyJet. Slept on a relatively comfortable 4-seater chair (without armrests), in an upper level observation area. As far as I could assess, I was the only person sleeping in the airport that night, which was slightly scary and I would have felt safer if there had been a few others... There was no visible security, but perhaps it was discreet? Anyway, it worked out fine. There were the usual announcements about keeping your baggage with you at all times (every 20 minutes all night) but every airport I've stayed in has the continued >>4 people found this review helpful Was this Helpful?

(Contributed by ?) In short, DON'T DO IT !! I arrived on 14th September from London Heathrow at 2335h with my connecting flight to Alicante due at 0935h the next morning. My baggage was supposed to go direct to Alicante but ended up on the baggage carousel at Basle. Just about everything at the airport was shutting down as there are no flights through the night. I was directed to a freephone hotel booking and contact service at the airport and I tried about 20 hotels, most of which cannot be contacted after 10pm. The one hotel that could be contacted was fully booked. There was one taxi outside the airport and in a mixture of French and German, I learned that I had no chance of getting an hotel at a reasonable price that night. I went back into the airport. All the staff had gone, there was no security and no airport personnel except for continued >>Was this Helpful?

(Contributed by ?) Euroairport is an two-country airport and in consequence there is a border between the two terminals ( which is only open till 10 pm!!!!). The Swiss part is under construction and very small. So we checked in, crossed the border and decided to sleep in the French part (non- secure area): a beautiful, brand new terminal with comfortable couches and a cappuccino machine on the lower floor.
A few securities walked around and the whole building is full of cameras, so we felt pretty safe. The night was very quiet until 4am.
So I could only recommend Basle airport!!! " Added 01 JAN 041 person found this review helpful Was this Helpful?
