Visiting Newfoundland, Canada? If you're arriving by plane, most likely you will be landing at St. John's International Airport YYT which is located in the capital city of St. John's. If it's you're first time to Newfoundland, it's important to keep in mind that the weather here can change on the drop of a dime. Some days in Newfoundland you can experience all the seasons in a 24 hour period. This means St. John's International Airport often has cancelations and delays. Rest assured, though, if you get stranded at YYT, be it airside or ground-side, your experience will be great.
Although St. John's International Airport recently went through expansion, it's still a small airport, and at night, it's ULTRA quiet. Finding a bench or a stretch of carpet that's in a quiet corner is easy, especially at night, so if you need to get that little bit of extra shut-eye, take advantage of this quiet airport. Services shut down at night on the airside, so expect this to be the quietest area of the airport from midnight to 5 am. Newfoundland locals are pretty accommodating, so if you've chosen to take up accommodations in St. John's Airport for the evening because of a delayed flight, nobody will judge you. There's also a number of St. John's boutique hotels in the area, including one right at the airport that, above other things, also offers free parking for up to 14 days, making it a great choice if you have an early flight and want to leave your car at the airport. If you're on the fence about slumming it at the St. John's International Airport YYT because of a delayed flight or splurging on accommodations in St. John's, consider the boutique hotel option since many are small enough to take pity on you and offer free pick-up and drop-off at the airport, and most have smashing deals in the off-seasons when their beds aren't full, so if your delay is extended, treating yourself to some lux just outside the airport may be the best way to spend your downtime.
