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

Shreveport Airport (code: SHV) consists of a small, two-level terminal with two concourses and a “Tailwind” restaurant/bar/gift shop in each, as well as on the landside between the two. After this restaurant/bar/gift shop chain closes for the night, vending machines provide only drink and snack options. WiFi is available, and there are plenty of outlets to charge 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 successfully 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, suggesting 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. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below.

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.
