Not possible. The terminal closes from about 11:00 pm to 4:00 am; book a hotel nearby. - _Time_: Security backups occur with Northern European and UK flights; two hours generally suffice, but don't risk tight margins if checking bags. - _Food_: Café & Tapas stays open the latest, but after 9:00 pm options dwindle to vending machines. - _Money_: TITSA buses are the cheapest airport transfers; use a Ten+ card for low fares to main destinations. - _Quiet_: Look for the charging tables near Gates B30-B34 behind Café & Tapas if you need some workspace and power outlets. - _Avoid_: Don't expect to find luggage storage; you'll need to keep bags with you or use external options. - _Local_: Sala VIP Montaña Roja accessible for a fee for those craving calm between flights on busy travel days. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
