SHV 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 Shreveport Regional Airport.
What to Expect

After this restaurant/bar/gift shop chain closes for the night, vending machines provide the only drink and snack options. WiFi is available and there are plenty of outlets for charging mobile devices. There are no private lounges at this airport.
Sleeping in Shreveport Airport
Security checkpoints reportedly close for the night, which means all passengers are restricted to the landside areas and must re-clear security the next day when the checkpoints re-open. One traveller reported successful sleeping in the “WiFi Lounge,” which had comfortable chairs and tables upon which to put one’s feet up. Another traveller noted that the landslide seating wasn’t comfortable, which suggest that if you plan to spend the night at this airport you should consider bringing a travel mat and or sleeping bag for additional comfort.
