BGO 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 Bergen Airport.
What to Expect
Bergen Airport (code: BGO) consists of a modern, mid-size, two-level terminal. While described as exceptionally busy, the terminal only hosts a dozen or so shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, only one of which offers 24-hour service. WiFi is available to help pass the time, and there are reportedly plenty of power outlets with which to charge mobile devices. There are no private lounges at this airport.
Sleeping in Bergen Airport
The airport reportedly has plenty of space, good chairs, is relaxing, and was described by one reviewer as a “pure pleasure.” Landside, on the ground floor (arrivals), security doesn’t allow the use of the couches in the Espresso House Café. Elsewhere, there are hard seats, some reclined, with power outlets. Airside, on the first floor, there are more hard seats where is is possible to lie down. For uninterrupted sleep, there is a hotel connected to the airport, and several others nearby. See Airport Hotels in the guide below or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
