Travel / Tourism Safety, 3:30AM at P+R Buillon?

Hi People,

I am a student from Germany and I have a flight from Luxembourg airport around 10 on Saturday. Since the first train from my city to Luxembourg reaches around 8:30AM to the central station, I don't want to risk being too late to the airport (German trains being German trains).

So I had an option of taking Flixbus that would drop me at P+R Buillon around 3:30 AM. Hence, I was planning to just spend 1 or 2 hours at P+R Buillon and then take bus to the Airport in the early morning. Do you think it's a good idea from the aspect of safety? Or my other option is to reach Airport before 12AM and spend the night there. Would this option be better? For context, I am a Male of Non-European descent.

Thanks in advance :-)

You can take a Uber to the airport from there, 30 bucks or something (more like 40 night time). At 4:30 a café will be open there.

Edit because people don't like my suggestion: This isn't financial advice and I'm not making any claim about the safety level of P+B Bouillon.

At 3:00 in the morning the ride to the airport will cost you more than 30 €

You're absolutely right, it will be more like 40 euros.

Edit: why did I write like ChatGPT??

But that is still cheaper than any Hostel or Hotel, and the safest way. Uber or Webtaxi sounds like the best choice. Staying at P&R Boullion is not smart, there are „dunkle Gestalten“ sleeping in this area.

My comment wasn't even for safety reason, I wouldn't stay hours NOT at the airport if I will end up at the airport anyway. Travelling takes time, if people want to relax more and can afford it, there's the option.

Even a completely safe P+B lot is not the wholesome layover place to wait in.

As opposed to standing in front of a probably closed airport terminal

It opens at 4AM luckily.
