The security staff will not let you sleep, they will kick you to [the] arrival area, then in two hours to [the] departure area and in another hours they keep running around you to wake u up. Horrible. Only one working electric outlet in [the] whole airport. Did I mention toilets ? Horror! You will not believe this until you check it on your own. -mandela
BGY 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 Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport (Code: BGY).
What to Expect
Bergamo Airport is a mid-size, two-level terminal with 11 departure gates and a wide selection of eateries and shops on both sides of security. WiFi is available, and there are some charging stations. For additional services and comforts, economy-class passengers can pay to access one of the airport’s private lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Bergamo Airport
Due to early morning flight departures, the airport terminal is often crowded at night. In general, Bergamo airport has not received stellar reviews from travellers who have attempted to sleep at the airport. Seating is scarce throughout the terminal, the terminal is very cold, and airport staff are known for waking sleeping travellers. Some travellers have found sleeping nooks on the landside, such as a small passageway near the tourist information desk at one end of the terminal. It would be best to come prepared to sleep or sit on the floor. A reader tells us, “The departures area is closed from 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM, and they will move everybody there to the arrivals zone, so if you are going for an early morning flight, don’t bother going past arrivals!” Explore our guide to sleeping in Bergamo Airport or read traveller reviews for more tips. For uninterrupted sleep, there are nine sleep pods in the terminal and hotels nearby. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.
