MFM 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 Macau International Airport.

What to Expect

The modern terminal at Macau Airport (code: MFM) is always busy with flights from across Asia. Amenities include a few shops and eateries, though none are open 24 hours, so plan ahead if you’re spending the night. Free WiFi helps pass the time. For added comfort while you wait, economy class passengers can pay to enter an airport lounge. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for location and access information.

Sleeping in Macau Airport

Historically, cold metal armrest-equipped benches and no sleeping on the floor made this airport unfriendly to overnight campers. Recent reviews suggest plenty of flat, armrest-free benches near the windows in the international departures area. One sleeping area can be found landside on the 3rd floor, to the left. It is a bit hidden and thanks to that quieter.Bring an extra layer and earplugs to combat the full-blast air conditioning and airport noise. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer free shuttle service. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations, or read traveller airport reviews for more tips.

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.
