Before Security Smoking

Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminals and one smoking booth.

There are smoking facilities inside the terminal after security.

UPDATE: Smoking areas have reopened with maximum numbers of guests. Only one smoking area that I have seen closed is in the baggage claim area, from Kory, November 2021.

UPDATE - All smoking areas past security are still closed (as of 07 Oct 21) smoking only permitted outside the terminal, from Fritz, October 2021.
