Advice please, possibly sleeping rough!

[Morthoseth]

Right, it wont be in this country for a start, and i have a wonderful home where i am - but i'm off to germany tonight and the hostel i was to be staying at just for one night has cancelled my reservation because i didnt show up during the day, flight isnt leaving until twenty to nine.

Basically, i want to ask - do you think they will mind if me and a mate slept in the airport on germany side? All the hotels are like £300 for one night and its hardly worth it for 6 hours sleep, so we're looking for options! Anywhere cheaper either stops checking people in past 6 or 9pm, or something similar.

Not too much of a crisis, i'm sure we'll manage but some advice would be nice should anyone have any!

Pretty sure they're used to people sleeping in airports.

I don't think they care tbh.

Have you seen the Hostel films btw?

mate, sign up on couchsurfing.com

loads safer than sleeping rough, have used it loads, me & my two mates never book accommodation anywhere now, we just use that and buy a small gift, like a wales flag (best flag ever)

-ask 3 or 4 people to make sure you get a place!

Smaller airports close at night. I know the one in Belgium closes and you cannot sleep there.

No time to do the couchsurfing thing, i'm off to the airport in quarter of an hour :<

Plus the site is down!

Looks like i'll have to chance it

COLOGNE, Germany

What you can look forward to:


* check-in: hard seats without armrests
* gates: comfortable seats with armrests
* clean
* Terminal2: behind check-in desks on the top floor
* Terminal1: benches

It's either Nuremburg for Rock Im Park or Nurburg for Rock Am Ring. Would be bad getting to one venue with a ticket for the other

Isn't Brussels airport one of the largest in Europe?
