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. An interesting story out of Mexico City ran recently about this phenomenon.
Mexico City Airport ® 00ucci
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. Amazing that someone could fly under the radar for such a long period of time.

How did he get away with that? Ha!
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!

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…
@AnnaE
