About (Co-Pilot Explains)

AirportSmokers.com is a long running niche travel resource dedicated to helping passengers find smoking areas, lounges, terraces, and designated rooms in airports around the world. The site positions itself as the original global guide for "where to smoke at airports," and it has grown over more than a decade into a community driven directory with information on over a thousand airports. It highlights that many of its updates come from travellers themselves, who submit reports and photos to keep listings accurate and current.

The website organizes its information by continent and country, covering airports across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Each airport page typically notes whether smoking is allowed after security, the type of facility available, and any recent changes. The site also maintains best and worst airport rankings for smokers, offers guidance on alternatives like nicotine gum or vaping, and encourages travellers to contact airports directly when smoking areas are poorly maintained or removed. It emphasizes that smoking areas should be clean and that smokers "are not second class travellers."

AirportSmokers.com also presents itself as a kind of community hub, describing its users as people who "look out for each other" and noting that it receives visitors from more than 200 countries each month. It regularly posts update logs such as newly added airports or revised information and even awards a tongue in cheek "10/10 cigs" rating to standout airports. Despite its focus, the site includes a reminder that smoking is harmful and encourages people not to start or to quit. Overall, it blends practical travel guidance with a sense of shared experience among smokers navigating increasingly smoke free airports.
