Wondering if you can stay overnight at Boston Logan Airport? Good news—you’re allowed to remain in the public, pre-security areas around the clock. While concourses post-security may close after the last flight, terminals A–E stay open 24/7, offering seating, restrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Here’s how to find the quietest nooks, keep your belongings safe, and make the most of your overnight airport stay.
Terminal Access & Security
- 24/7 Entry: All terminals (A–E) stay open around the clock.
- Restricted Areas: Post-security lounges and some concourses may close after the last flight; you may be directed back to landside areas.
Best Overnight Waiting Spots
- Terminal E Seating Areas: Quieter with padded benches near Gates E1–E3.
- Connector Between B & C: Less foot traffic after midnight—look for window-side seats.
- Southwest Wing of Terminal B: Rows of seating with fewer nearby shops, so crowds thin out overnight.
Comfort & Safety Tips
- Bring Essentials: Pack a travel pillow, blanket, earplugs, and an eye mask.
- Secure Valuables: Keep your phone, wallet, and passport on your person—use a zippered bag.
- Stay in Public View: Choose well-lit, populated areas near information desks or security stations.
- Set an Alarm: Give yourself extra time to pack up and clear security before morning flights.
Nearby Alternatives
- Day-Use Hotel Rooms: Book a short-stay room at Hilton Boston Logan via their day-use option for a private shower and bed.
- Airport Lounges: If you have a Priority Pass or airline status, lounges like Aspire in Terminal C offer quiet areas and sometimes reclining chairs.
