BGI 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 Bridgetown Grantley Adams International Airport.
What to Expect
Bridgetown Airport (code: BGI) consists of two terminals joined via a “membrane tent,” making it appear as one building. The terminals contain 22 gates and almost two dozen eateries and shops split between the airside and landside. WiFi is available, and additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to the airport’s first-class lounge. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Bridgetown Airport
One traveller found a decent sleep spot upstairs between the two terminals. Benches can be found downstairs. Lights stay on in both locations overnight, so pack eyeshades. As there are no flights between 11 PM and 6 AM, the terminal should be reasonably quiet. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.
