Is Seville Airport open at night? Everything you need to know if you’re travelling in the early hours

At Apparkya we get asked this a lot — especially by people flying first thing in the morning who want to plan everything with no surprises. In these cases, the most practical option is usually to avoid complications and have your parking sorted with a service that operates 24/7, like Parking Aeropuerto de Sevilla 24Plus.

Seville Airport opening hours: when it opens and when it closes

General passenger terminal opening hours

Seville Airport (SVQ) is not open 24 hours. According to Aena’s official information, the passenger terminal is open from 4:30 am (opening) to 1:30 am (closing). On some days it may open earlier (around 3:30 am) due to operational needs.

This means there’s a period during the early hours when the terminal remains closed, roughly between 1:30 and 4:30 (except on specific days).

What time does Seville Airport open in the morning?

Under normal conditions, you can access the terminal from 4:30 am onwards.
If your flight departs very early, it’s best to check your boarding time and plan your arrival with a buffer (especially if you need to check in or want to go through security calmly).

What time do check-in desks open at Seville Airport?

There isn’t a single time for all airlines: it depends on the carrier and the flight. As a practical reference, many open 2 to 3 hours beforehand, but it’s best to confirm in your booking or with your airline’s information (because it varies depending on destination and operations).

Is Seville Airport open overnight?

Short answer: not all night. The terminal closes during the early-hours window (approx. 1:30–4:30), except for occasional exceptions.

Can you sleep at Seville Airport?

If your plan is “I arrive at midnight and stay inside until my flight”, be careful: if it coincides with the overnight closure, you may not be able to remain inside during those hours. In some cases, when the terminal reopens they may allow access by showing your boarding pass when entry is enabled.

What to do if your flight leaves very early or you arrive during the night?

You have several options, but not all of them fit well with “early-hours” flights:

• Public transport: it doesn’t run 24 hours, so if your flight is very early it’s common for the first service not to match the time you need to be at the airport (especially if you need to check in or you’re short on time). Plus, it usually means longer travel time and more variables (waiting, stops, frequency…).
• Taxi or similar: it’s convenient, yes — but at those times it can be expensive (we’ll explain below).
• 24h parking: it’s usually the most reliable option when you want to leave when it suits you without depending on anyone.

How to book your space at Parking 24Plus and start your trip stress-free

Our recommendation is to book your parking in advance: you secure a space and have one less thing to worry about — especially when you’re travelling at “odd” times (early morning, public holidays, peak demand). That way, on travel day you focus on what matters: arriving and flying.

Public transport timetable

Sevilla–Airport and Airport–Sevilla bus timetable

The key point here is simple: the bus doesn’t operate 24 hours, and on the earliest flights it’s common for the first service not to match the time you should be at the airport (especially if you need to check in or you’re short on time).

Also, with stops and waiting times, it’s usually a system that requires leaving much earlier than if you go by car.

Bus stops and frequency

Frequency varies depending on the time slot — and precisely during the “difficult” hours (very early or very late) is when you tend to have the least room to manoeuvre.

Other transport options to get to the airport during the night

Taxi or similar at night

If you’re leaving in the early hours, these services can be convenient, but there are two things worth keeping in mind:

• By taxi, there are specific airport fares with a fixed price depending on the time slot (for example, airport fares around €25.72 and €28.67 in published fare tables). Check the current fare, as prices can be updated.
• At night, the price can vary due to supply/demand, and the applicable time bands and conditions may increase the cost of the trip.

Put simply: for an early flight, relying on a ride at that time can get quite expensive.

If you go in your own car, you control the parking cost and remove the uncertainty of the fare at that moment (especially if you’re travelling as a couple, with family, or with lots of luggage).

Driving your own car and parking in a 24-hour car park near the airport

When your flight is very early, driving is often the most convenient option for flexibility. And if you combine it with a 24h operational car park like Parking Aeropuerto de Sevilla 24Plus, you’ve got a solid plan:

• You leave when it suits you.
• You park without depending on schedules.
• And you get to the terminal with the transfer, without dealing with access routes or waiting.
