Critical Warning: Beauvais Airport Night Closure

Unlike Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Beauvais Airport is not open 24 hours a day. By prefectural security regulation, the airport terminals close completely every night between 23:30 (11:30 PM) and 06:00 (6:00 AM). Passengers are strictly prohibited from remaining or sleeping inside the airport terminals overnight.

If you have an early morning flight (such as a 06:30 departure), do not attempt to arrive the evening before to wait in the terminal. You must either book a nearby hotel in Tillé or Beauvais town, or take the earliest morning official Aérobus shuttle from Porte Maillot, which is timed to arrive at the airport 2 hours before flight departures.
