Sleeping in an airport, for a night, before a flight is common among travelers who are attempting to save a few dollars on hotel costs. Websites like The Guide to Sleeping in Airports have been developed around the concept.

Over the past few months, a Japanese man has taken it to a new level by moving into Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport. As of the new year, Mr. Nohara has finally found a new residence–in an apartment.

    It’s Mexico City! You can get away with anything. Especially when you’re Japanese. ;)

    Not a bad idea. Not sure about three months, but for a few days…why not?

    Thanks for the comments.

    @John P
    Three months sounds like a lifetime to live in an airport!

    @AnnaE
    From the news, lately, it sounds like Mexico has become the wild, wild west.

    Wow, Mexico’s wild? I never thought they’d allow someone to “live” in the airport and that guy being Japanese too, not a Mexican. Or maybe they’re too hospitable… :)

    Gennaro,
    Mexico (City) has always been wild! I remember it being totally off its rocker even 10 years ago. Ah, the good old days!

    I’ve never visit Mexico yet… so I dont know how it would be to sleep in the airport…it must be a dangerous situation especially if you are alone…
