MCZ Airport Overview
The modern terminal at Maceio Airport (code: MCZ) primarily handles domestic flights. Amenities are surprising for a terminal of this size. You’ll find a few shops and eateries, including the LaSelva Bookstore, and three open 24 hours a day. Free WiFi helps pass the time.
Sleeping in Maceio Airport
We do not yet have any sleep-related airport reviews, but an older review says that locals suggested waiting until morning to head into the city center for safety reasons. If you do not have pre-arranged airport pick-up, this airport can be a safe place to stay until morning. Head upstairs for some peace and quiet. For uninterrupted sleep, the closest hotels are 50 minutes away. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info.

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.
