Traveller Comments....
"if you must I recommend to go to the departure floor and go to the end of the terminal" (David)
"Given that bag ownership is their major concern, the staff at the airport couldn't give a rat's left testicle about people sleeping, etc." (Jack McRacken)

"I arrived at Ben Gurion at 4:30am in December. My journey home after 4 months away from home didnt start well with a lady behind puking the whole way to the airport. When I arrived , I was immediutly told my flight had been delayed by 3 hours. I had stayed up all night and my brain was starting to melt away...
After secutiry, I arrived at the main departure lounge, or should I say the only departure lounge. I immediutly set about looking for a place to sleep - With absolutly no luck. The only seating availible were cold metal free standing chairs - not even benchs. Or there was a low and wide marble wall which separated the seating areas. I eventually found what I thought to be a quiet spot on the floor in front of a fire exit near the childrens play area. Unfortunaly , this proved to be less than peacful when a few minuets later a noisy group of air hostesses burst through the door in front of me, too engrossed in conversation to notice me. I got up, annoyed ( and verrrry tired) and dragged myself to the information stand, where I asked where I could sleep. I was told a flat ' nowhere .' But they did recomend the only confortable seating in the airport which were low black cusioned chairs of which there were only about 10. Every single one was taken. I had to stare at a selected occupant for 15 mins untill they finally got up , for me to grab thier chair as quickly as I could. They were very anoying. As I slumped into one , I noticed the cushion repeatedly sliding out of the chair. Many times, I had to wake up from my restless nap to push the seat cushion back into the chair. I got virtually no sleep atall. Definatly the woarst airport Ive ever been too for sleeping. Otherwise though, a clean airport."
