Sleeping in Juneau Airport
Reviewers report that airline staff and security are generally accommodating to overnight sleepers. While most of the terminal seating consists of armrest-style benches, there are a couple of padded benches in the baggage claim area. There also may be some comfortable couches in the gate area. One reviewer noted that there is a quite nook near the commuter flight company offices that works for floor sleeping with a travel mat and sleeping bag. Due to continuous feed of public service announcements, earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones may help for a quieter sleep. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
