Jaipur Airport (Code: JAI) is a small, but clean and modern international airport, consisting of an international terminal and a new domestic terminal. The terminal is furnished with local artwork and has a few little shops and food concessions. The pre-immigration area (located upstairs) offers a variety of shops (closed at night), 24-hour dining options, a drinking water fountain, clean restrooms, and power outlets throughout. Economy class passengers can pay to enter the airport’s first class lounge. See our Airport Lounges section for locations and rates.

Sleeping in Jaipur Airport

Although reviewers did not mention a specific sleeping spot or how they slept (floor or in a chair?), they report having slept successfully for a few hours in the pre-immigration area. For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
