EZE 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 Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport.
What to Expect
Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport (Code: EZE) consists of one building with three interconnected terminals (A, B and C). There are 40 gates and two dozen or so eateries and shops on both sides of security, with some open 24 hours. WiFi is available, and outlets for charging mobile devices can be found. Additional comfort can be found through fee-based access to one of the airport’s first-class lounges. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for locations and rates.
Sleeping in Ezeiza Airport
If you have an early morning connecting flight to catch, leaving the airport to get a hotel room for a few hours might not be worth your time (or your budget). The terminal is open 24 hours, so sleeping overnight at Ezeiza Airport is possible!
Travellers have reported a few areas that are best for catching some rest. If you are landside, there are large windowsills (these can get cold) and a blue carpeted area upstairs in Terminal A. Noise and cold temperatures are described as the biggest irritants, so consider bringing earplugs/noise-cancelling headphones and a travel blanket/sleeping bag.
Airside, plenty of seats are available to sleep on, but most have armrests and are uncomfortable. Some seating areas also have recliner seats, which will be a welcome sight when you need a lie-down.
Regardless of where you sleep in the airport, be prepared for cold temperatures as they blast the air conditioner, and it will get very chilly if you’re there for a long time!
For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See the Airport Hotels section below for more info. Read more traveller reviews for more tips.

Security & Safety
We have not been informed of safety issues at Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport. However, 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.
