I was woken up by a security guard asking if I was sick since i was sleeping there. I said “no, I’m just tired” and he ordered me to stand up and move away from the area. -elsebeth
BEG 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 Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
What to Expect
Belgrade Airport (code: BEG) consists of two terminals connected by a walkway. The terminals contain several bars and restaurants and almost a dozen shops. WiFi and mobile charging stations are available. For additional comfort, economy-class passengers can pay to access one of the airport’s private lounges, one of which offers showers. Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Belgrade Airport
Travellers report that airport staff and security are accommodating to overnight sleepers and that plenty of spots are conducive to sleeping, especially on the airside, where you will find carpet floors and armrest-free chairs and benches. The restaurant area on the landside is equipped with several armless sofas perfect for night sleepers. A few reviewers mentioned cold temperatures and noise, particularly in the landside area. You may want to pack a warm sweater/blanket and earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones. Otherwise, the terminals are described as clean, safe and quiet at night. For uninterrupted sleep, there are several hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below or read traveller airport reviews for more tips.
Good to Know
Along with showers in the Air Serbia Premium lounge, the airport reportedly has new public showers that can be accessed by asking personnel in the office near Gate C2 for the key.
