TSR 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 Timișoara Traian Vuia International Airport.
What to Expect
Timisoara Airport (code: TSR) has a single terminal primarily serving low-cost carriers and seasonal routes across Europe. A terminal expansion is almost complete, with an anticipated opening in 2019. Amenities are limited to two snack bars, a few shops including duty-free, and vending machines. Free WiFi helps pass the time, but power outlets are in short supply. Economy class passengers may be able to enter two airport lounges.
Sleeping in Timisoara Airport
For those planning an overnight stay, rest assured that sleepers seem to have no problem here. There are some flat benches for resting, otherwise you’ll likely wind up on the floor. Music may play on the loudspeakers all night, so bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer shuttle service for a fee. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations.

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.
