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 Košice Airport.
What to Expect

Facilities include three landside eateries (one is open 24 hours), two airside bars, and a few shops. WiFi is available inside the airport lounge, which economy class passengers may access. See Airport Lounges in the airport guide below for location and access information.

Overnight campers likely will have to stay landside. Spread out on a few bean bag chairs and couches, located in or near a cafe that closes for the night. Power outlets are nearby. For uninterrupted sleep, hotels are nearby. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info.
