Sleeping in Juneau Airport

juneau airport guideReviewers report that airline staff and security are generally accommodating to overnight sleepers. While most of the terminal seating consists of armrest-style benches, a few padded benches are in the baggage claim area. There also may be some comfortable couches in the gate area. One reviewer noted a quiet nook near the commuter flight company offices that works for floor sleeping with a travel mat and sleeping bag. Due to the continuous feed of public service announcements, earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones may help for a quieter sleep. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below, or read traveller airport reviews for more tips.
