Ancona Airport Guide

Sleeping in Ancona Airport

The airport operates daily roughly 6:00 AM – 12:00 AM. Outside these hours, the airport effectively closes and travellers cannot remain in the terminal overnight. One traveller described being approached by security guards at midnight and told to leave. For a proper night’s sleep, the nearby airport hotels are a short drive away.

During opening hours, the airport has armrest-free seating, although the seats may not be particularly comfortable for sleeping. No dedicated sleeping areas, quiet areas or rest zones exist, and cots are not provided to stranded travellers.

Security & Safety

Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:

• Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
• Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
• Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
• Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
