KBP 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 Kyiv Boryspil International Airport.

What to Expect

Kyiv Boryspil Airport (code: KBP) consists of three terminals, with the smaller Terminals B and F primarily serving domestic and charter flights and the newest and larger Terminal D mainly handling international flights. While the terminals are connected by inter-terminal shuttle buses, Terminal D offers the most options for services, dining, shopping, and the most amenities for an extended stay. WiFi is available to help pass the time. Additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to the airport’s first-class lounges.

Sleeping in Kyiv Boryspil Airport

Travellers report that Terminal D has comfortable seating for sleeping, with plenty of armrest-free seats and benches. Airport staff and security are tolerant of overnight sleepers, though security staff may ask to check your passport. The area across from Gates D12 and D13 has been cited as a good spot for sleeping due to its low nighttime lighting and relative quiet. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See our Airport Hotels section below for locations.

Good to Know

There are no designated smoking areas, so be prepared for the smell of cigarette smoke throughout the terminals.

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.
