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 together 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, as well. The airport offers free WiFi, which helps pass the time. Economy class passengers can pay to use one of the first-class airport lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Landvetter Airport
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. 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 within walking distance. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
