BGR 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 Bangor International Airport.
What to Expect
Bangor Airport (code: BGR) is a small two-terminal (Domestic and International) airport with a few shops and a restaurant and cafe in the domestic terminal. However, they are known to close early in the evening. Inclement weather can lead to flight delays and/or cancellations. Free WiFi and mobile charging stations are available in the Domestic Terminal. There are no private lounges at this airport.
Sleeping in Bangor Airport
While the airport officially closes at 1:00 AM, airport staff are described as friendly and accommodating to overnight sleepers. There is reportedly a lack of armrest-free seating, so most travellers sleep on the floor. Reviewers report that loud overhead announcements and CNN broadcasting TVs continue throughout the night. With these factors in mind, consider bringing a sleeping bag, travel mat, eyeshade, and earplugs/noise-cancelling earphones. For uninterrupted sleep, a hotel is connected to the airport via a walkway, and others are within a quick shuttle ride away. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.
Good to Know
As all services close down after the last flight rolls in, travellers may want to take advantage of the within-walking-distance shops, fast food restaurants and a grocery store.

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.
