Is it okay to stay in NAIA Terminal 3 overnight?

Question

I am going to visit my family in the Philippines. If I arrive in NAIA terminal 3 at night around 10 pm, can I stay in the airport overnight while I wait for my next day's 1st flight at 4:15 am for Cebu? In other words, I want to stay in the airport from 10 pm at night and wait for about 5 hours till I can check-in for the first flight the next day for Cebu. Are there stores opned 24 hours in the airport? What are the stores there?

Answer 1

you'd be okay for 5 hours. it's safe. if you can sleep sitting down, do it.

Answer 2

Well... It's your choice.

NAIA Terminal 3  has food stores there like Delifrance, Dunkin Donuts, Jollibee ( our local version of McDonalds ). But i'm not quite sure if they're open 24/7.

*Wherever you came from, if there is Forex or any other foreign exchange counters there, bring money and change it into the Philippine Peso ( P )*

If the stores there aren't open in the NAIA Terminal 3, you can take a cab then go to the nearby restaurants like McDonalds ( I'm 100% sure the McDonalds there near the airport is 24 hours a day open ).

They offer the Hamdesal ( Bread shaped into a circle with Ham in it ) and Coffee. And much much more... for the early hours of the morning for those in a morning rush. like you.

Answer 3

I want to say that its okay but I'm not quite sure.

I was at NAIA 3 few weeks ago when I went to CDO, and I noticed that there were a lot of passengers staying at the airport waiting for their flight around 5AM (I think...). BTW, my flight was at 4AM so I arrived at the airport at 230AM.

For the stores, I doubt that they are open 24 hours. Those were the main complains for Cebu Pacific passengers then when they were stranded at the airport during the series of delays by the carrier. You can take a cab maybe so you can go to 24 hour places near the airport.

Hope this helps.
