LUX 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 Luxembourg Airport.
What to Expect
Luxembourg Airport (code: LUX) has two relatively new terminals. Terminal A handles most carriers, and Terminal B primarily caters to business flights. Amenities include several shops and eateries, both landside and airside, plus free WiFi. For added comfort, a lounge is available while you wait.
Sleeping in Luxembourg Airport
The airport closes nightly from 12:00 AM until 4:00 AM, so only those with boarding passes can stay during those hours. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer complimentary shuttle service. See our Airport Hotels section below for locations.

In this guide we may refer to locations as “landside” and “airside”. Landside is the public area of the terminal located in the non-secure zone, before security. Airside is the secure area of the terminal that you must reach by going through security.
Airport Hours
The airport is open from 4:00 AM – 12:00 AM. Night access is permitted with tickets only.
Note: The airport’s official website states it opens at 4:00 AM, but one of our reviewers said it opens at 3:30 AM (August 2023).
Rest & Relaxation Zones
While there are no officially designated sleeping pods or rest zones, the airport has quiet corners airside (e.g., near gates with less foot traffic) where travellers can rest. Landside seating is limited and less comfortable overnight due to public access restrictions after hours. If this information has changed, click here to update this guide.
