CCJ Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Calicut Kozhikode International Airport.
What to Expect
The terminal at Calicut Airport (code: CCJ) is divided into Domestic and International concourses. It seems that security processes can be slow, so arrive early for peace of mind. Facilities are limited to a few shops and food stalls, though none are open 24 hours. Free WiFi is available in designated areas including the the international check-in and SHA areas. For added comfort, economy class passengers can pay to enter an airport lounge. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for its location and access information.
Sleeping in Calicut Airport
Overnight campers report that there are a few metal benches landside, otherwise you may need to sleep on the floor. Bring a sleeping bag or sleep mat for cushion. Additional complaints include hot temperatures and noise, so dress in layers and bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones. For uninterrupted sleep, hotels are nearby. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
