TRD 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 Trondheim Airport.
What to Expect
Trondheim Airport (code: TRD) comprises two small terminals: Terminal A handles domestic flights, and Terminal B handles European routes. Terminal A amenities include five eateries and four shops. In Terminal B, there is one restaurant and a duty-free shop. For late-night snacks, 7-Eleven in the Arrivals Hall is open until midnight most nights (except Saturdays). WiFi is free in two-hour sessions, but you can log in repeatedly.
Sleeping in Trondheim Airport
The airport does close nightly, but you should have no problem staying in the landside area overnight if you arrive before closing time. Bunk down at the lie-flat benches and sofas in the check-in area, or bring a sleeping bag or travel mat to sleep on the floor. Airport noise starts up by 5:00 AM. For uninterrupted sleep, a hotel is adjacent to the main terminal. Other hotels are nearby. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info, or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
