OMA 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 Omaha Eppley Airfield.
What to Expect
Omaha Airport (code: OMA) is housed in a single, easy-to-navigate building that’s divided into three areas: the landside Main Terminal, and Concourses A and B, which branch off from the main terminal and have their own security checkpoints. The airport has a few eateries, mostly on the airside, and a cafe in the Concourse A food court is open 24 hours. A few shops plus free WiFi help travellers pass the time. No pay-to-use airport lounges are available.
Sleeping in Omaha Airport
If you’re looking for a place to rest, your best bet is probably the floor, as most seating is equipped with armrests. Overnight campers should bring along earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones to cope with frequent announcements. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer free airport shuttle service for guests.
