A few tables with bench seating. Once you get that spot, don’t leave, someone else will come by and get it. The rest of the seating was chairs at tables. Not comfortable, but seemed perfectly safe. – HRies

CCS 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 Caracas Simon Bolivar International Airport.

What to Expect

Caracas Airport (code: CCS) consists of two terminals (International and Domestic) connected by a short walkway. The Domestic Terminal contains over 30 eateries and the International Terminal offers over 40, though almost all close by 10:00 PM at the latest, so plan accordingly if you are staying overnight. WiFi is available, but outlets for charging mobile devices are reportedly hard to find. Additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to one of the airport’s first-class lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.

Sleeping in Caracas Airport

We have not received any sleep-related airport reviews since 2013. At the time, someone spotted decent seating in the landslide departures area in the International terminal; however, sleeping in the public area is not recommended for safety reasons. Have a backup plan if you’re planning to spend the night. There are hotels near the airport for uninterrupted sleep. See the Airport Hotels section below for more info.

City Bus

Safety may be an issue, so you want to do more research before committing. If your load is light (or non-existent), you can travel at a fraction of the price of a taxi by taking one of the local red SITSSA buses. Purchase a rechargeable card ticket from the kiosk inside the airport terminal before boarding the bus.

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.
