    You should be able go into departures as soon as you arrive if you have your boarding card. Dont leave it to the last minute just in case there is something wrong with your boarding card printout.

    Where are you flying from?

    Smaller airports may not let you airside until 2 hours before. Larger airports won't care less - although most/all won't let you through until security actually opens for the day. At Stansted for example, they won't open 'airside' until 2 hours before the first flight.

    Edinburgh closes down overnight so there's virtually no chance of being allowed airside.

    According to sleepinginairports.net though it's OK to sleep landside
