Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best option for a 6-hour layover?

For 6 hours, we recommend booking a premium lounge pass (€35-50). You'll get unlimited food and drinks, shower access, comfortable seating, and WiFi — all included. It's better value than paying separately for food, drinks, and showers.

Can I book a sleep pod for just a few hours?

Yes! YOTEL sleep pods have a 3-hour minimum booking, perfect for short naps. You can extend in 1-hour increments if needed. Book in advance online for guaranteed availability, especially during peak travel times.

Do I need to leave the secure area to access hotels?

No! YOTEL sleep pods are located airside (after security), so you can rest and return to your gate without going through security again. The on-airport hotel is also connected directly to the terminal.

Are lounges only for business class passengers?

No! While lounges are complimentary for business/first class passengers and certain frequent flyers, anyone can purchase a lounge pass regardless of ticket class. It's one of the best-kept airport secrets for budget travelers.

Where are the shower facilities located?

Shower facilities are located near the premium lounges in both Terminal A and Terminal B, after security. Look for signs saying 'Shower Service' or ask at information desks. They're open 24/7.

Can I store luggage while using facilities?

Yes! YOTEL sleep pods include secure luggage storage. Lounges have dedicated luggage areas. Separate left luggage services are available throughout the airport (€8 per bag per day).
