AYT 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 Antalya International Airport.
What to Expect
Antalya Airport (code: AYT) serves its passengers via three terminals (Terminals 1 and 2 for international travel and the Domestic Terminal). The airport facilities are modern and offer passengers plenty of options for shopping and dining, with some services open 24 hours. WiFi is available to help pass the time. Economy class passengers may access one of the airport’s private lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below.
Sleeping in Antalya Airport
After security checkpoints close for the night, passengers are restricted to the landside and must re-clear security upon the concourse gate area re-opening. Overnight sleepers report feeling safe in the airport and suggest that comfortable seating can be found, with Terminal 1 and the Domestic Terminal being cited as most conducive to sleep. Sleep hindrances include noise, light and chilly temperatures, so consider earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones, eyeshades, and a sweater or travel blanket. As armrest-free padded seating may be limited, a travel mat or sleeping bag may help for floor sleeping. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

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.
