To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport.
What to Expect

Sleeping in Lubbock Airport
If you are staying overnight here, take note that the airside area closes until early morning. You will need to leave the secure zone and spend the night in the public area of the terminal. Good sleep spots are limited, so bring an extra layer to cope with the hard floor. For uninterrupted sleep, several hotels are located nearby. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
