So, i got stuck here because i'm dumb and was late, so i was bumped back, and got stuck overnight in Charlotte-Douglas International. I had to come out of the secure area, pick up my baggage, and chill here, i'm young, so why spend money on a hotel when i'd end up staying up all night online, and i only have 8.5 hours anyway.
So i walked around, then found this website. A review earlier said something of a place under the escalators... so i searched.. Near Zone B, downstairs at baggage claim... under the escalotor, is this large open area, completely secluded. the door was open to a maintenance storage area, filthy place really, but there is power just inside the door.
So i had free wi-fi, a totally private secluded spot, and the hum of the escalator put me right to sleep. if you dont mind sleeping in the floor... Find this spot. I never even saw security while there.
I also walked around and made a short video of the experience.. and made friends with the barista at the 24hr starbucks. Fun times.

"My husband and I had an awful experience staying overnight at this airport. Charlotte Airport is beautiful and I love flying in and out of it several times a year. On this trip however I was very disappointed. Our flight was cancelled so we were stuck until 6 AM the next morning. We thought why get a hotel. We can just hang out in the computer center and nap in the comfy chairs or the many rocking chairs. WRONG! About 1AM security told us we had to leave the terminal area and go out past the security entrance. So we did. It was nasty out there. The chairs were hard. It was freezing. The floor was dirty and disgusting. I was disappointed and mad. We were back at 4AM as that is when they reopened. It seemed silly to kick us out for 3 hours."
