True it is far from Paris center, but what the heck? You agree for it when you pay 1euro for a flight with Wizzair or Ryanair!” -Nicholas

BVA 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 Paris Beauvais Tille Airport.

What to Expect

Paris Beauvais Airport (code: BVA) consists of two small terminals (T1 and T2), each with a few eateries and shops on both the air and land sides. WiFi is available to pass the time, but not much else. There are no private lounges at this airport.

Sleeping in Beauvais Airport

This airport closes overnight, and sleeping is not permitted. While there are armrest-free seats, there is usually insufficient seating for the number of passengers, so stretching out would be frowned upon by fellow travellers looking for a place to sit. For a real nap, join the other travellers stretched out on the floor – a blanket or sleep mat provides much-needed cushion. You’ll have to leave the airport and head to a nearby hotel for overnight sleep.

For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

Good to Know

Despite its name, Paris Beauvais Airport is 85km (53 miles) northwest of Paris, and some reviewers warn that transportation to and from the city can be tricky. Additionally, the area hotels sometimes become fully occupied, leaving some travellers stranded without a place to stay.

Security & Safety

At the time of this update, we have no reports from travellers commenting on safety issues at Paris Beauvais Airport. However, sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s essential 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 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. Please 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 awoke 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 sharp, 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.

Pro-tip: If you sleep in the public zone, don’t be surprised if you receive an early morning wake-up call. Security is known to make the rounds, waking people up as travellers arrive for morning flights.
