After a nice weekend in Curitiba with my girlfriend, time to get back. Told her I had to take some time at the airport, just for fun. – Filipe
Airport Overview
Curitiba Afonso Pena International Airport (code: CWB) has a relatively small terminal serving mainly domestic flights, along with some international connections. Travellers will find cafes, restaurants, shops, free WiFi and airport lounges. Some food outlets are open 24 hours.
The terminal building is open 24 hours. Airside is open according to the flight schedule.
Sleeping in Curitiba Airport
Although the terminal is reportedly open 24 hours, sleeping here may be difficult. In a July 2025 review, one traveller described being repeatedly prevented from sleeping by airport staff and security. They also reported cold temperatures and difficulty finding seats without armrests. While the airport was clean and organized, they found it impossible to get any rest.
For a more comfortable option, Aero Sleep offers small sleeping cabins inside the airport, available in blocks of 3, 6, 9 or 12+ hours. Depending on the room, amenities include a private bathroom, TV, air-conditioning, power outlet and WiFi.

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.
