My friend and I didn't know what to do an entire night between flights.
Our first flight arrived at 9:30 pm and our flight to Cancun was at 7:25 am. This was kind of a backpack travel, so we wanted to save every single buck we could. We decided to live the adventure of sleeping in this airport.
We could not stay in Gate B, a security guy told us that was not possible. There are no flights between midnight and 6:00am and nobody can stay/sleep at the waiting gates or boarding gates. If you try, someone will come and kick you out.
We were there at the check-in counters area a little bit tired looking around trying to find a place to sleep but there is nothing, there are only metal fences wich are very uncomfortable just to sit in. We ask this guy what was the best option and told us about a food court. You can get there walking to Puerta 8 and stepping to the stairs. You'll find a Starbucks too, wich has a couple of very confortable seats, we stayed there until midnight. Then, Starbucks closed and we had to move to the food court. There are several restaurants open all night and you'll find a lot of people staying the night there (national and international travelers).
When we noticed that security guards were all over the place we decided it was time to get some sleep, we did it sitted, with our heads on the table, over a backpack because tables are too short, not the best position but it's something. There are no announcements (or at least I don't remember) in this area but the lights are too bright.
Temperature was just right, maybe a little bit cold but thats just the way Mexico City is. Bring a jacket, hoodie or something.
At 5:30 am we could enter Gate B again and waited for our flight.
We survived this airport, but a few hours more there could have been very dificult, just because of the lack of comfortable sleep.
Hope this is helpful.
