although no places to grab a bite to eat were open, seats were ample and cushioned, little or no activity was heard and dimmed lights around allowed us to sleep a bit more we thought we might. – ReyRico
SDQ Airport Overview
Santo Domingo Airport (code: SDQ) comprises a mid-size, modern, three-level terminal with two concourses (A and B). There are almost two dozen eateries, shops and other amenities, though many are on the landside. Eateries and shops close for the night, so plan accordingly if you intend to spend the night. WiFi is available, though working outlets to charge mobile devices are reportedly hard to find. Comfort may be found in one of the airport’s fee-based first-class lounges.
Sleeping in Santo Domingo Airport
Reviewers report that airside has more comfortable and available seating than landside because some seating areas are close and others are especially noisy. If you plan to spend the night at the airport, check in with your bags before check-in closes so that you can pass through security to the airside. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations.

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.
