Wellington Airport
Traveller Comments....
" there is a pretty cosy and warm sleeping room outside at the ground car park. " (Andreas)
" the only shelter we could find was a carpark elevator." (Andy Beve)
"Well my home town airport is a bit of a let-down.... it is cold and not designed to be comfortable. " (?)

"Arrived at the airport on a very windy rainy evening. Used the customer service phone by the center of the terminal and was told it was possible to sleep in the terminal overnight. I avoided the recommended sleeping area in the early evening due to two families that had boisterous children and screaming babies that were in the area waiting for the last arrival. Instead I crashed out on the floor by the departure gates. All went quiet other than the sound of the cleaning staff after the last plane around 11PM - whereupon I moved over to the designated sleeping area by the Cook Strait Bar. There were five of us sleeping on the very cushy leather sofa that runs along the terminal windows. At 3AM the restaurant staff in the food courts get going so there is a lot of noise while they prepare to open for business at 4AM. Note that the bright lights stay on continuously in the area (but I used an eyeshade) and the area was quite cold (requiring a good jacket and hat to be worn.) You do have access to the toilets and I noticed the men's room had a free shower available for use. Airport opens to the public at 4AM."
