I was rudely awakened from a deep sleep by the tapping (striking?!) of a baton on my shoulder by one of these guys, shouting at me in Swedish. – Eric
GOT 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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport (code: GOT).
What to Expect
Landvetter Airport’s two separate terminals were joined in 2014 with a main-floor check-in area and upper-level international and domestic departure areas on either side. There are several shops, cafes and a restaurant accessible to all passengers in the transfer area between the old terminals and some shops, cafes and services landside. The airport offers free WiFi, which helps pass the time. Economy-class passengers can pay to use one of the first-class airport lounges.
Sleeping in Landvetter Airport
The airside closes at night, so you need to sleep in the public side of the terminal. Airport staff and security are described as accommodating to overnight sleepers. Most travellers suggest the domestic departures area is more conducive to sleep due to fewer people at night and more comfortable seating, including comfortable benches. Comfy and roomy couches were also spotted on the airside. Noise and cold temperatures were cited as the biggest sleep disturbers, so earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones and a sweater or travel blanket are recommended. For uninterrupted sleep, there is a hotel onsite. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info.

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.
