Ain't *that* a bitch?? I went through LAX a short time ago, and headed for the smoking area. The door was locked. It's just an unused area now. No logical reason for it. I heard a few lame excuses for the gate attendants, but nothing believable.

PHX used to allow smoking in the concourse bars, but that's gone now.

You know what, I was in Copenhagen about a year and a half ago, in the SAS Club they had a nice glassed off area for smoking with good ventilation.
I just visited a few times last week and guess what? No more smoking, the room is still there but is designated a "quite space", cannot understand the smoking Nazi mentality!

I was SO pissed when I got into CPH and found it was non smoking! I was in uniform flying as a passenger back home to Chicago ORD and they wouldnt even let me smoke in the employee areas! Explains all the Snus being sold I suppose!

You can also add to the smoke friendly airport list just about any airports in the Middle East!

KWI-Kuwait International Posted smoking areas, however people walking all over the airport with lit analogs

AMM-Amman, Jordan Queen Alia International Airport Spotted smoking areas, but once again the same thing

DXB-Dubai International, I was there last month and vaguely remember smoking after passing security.

Also to add.

MIA-Miami International, Smoking Courtyard after security American Airlines Terminal (Next to an AMAZING MOJITO BAR!)

FRU-Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan- The customs guy was smoking as he stamped my passport!

I'll keep my eyes open to add to this list!

Safe travels

Ryan Air, Thanks, yes it sucks when they have a perfectly good smoking room and now just to rub our noses in they say NO.
List updated.

No problem. It's actually a post that will help me a lot.

On a side note I am going to Honolulu this Wednesday, last time I was there about 8 years ago we could smoke on the concourse because the concourses are outdoors airside. I have my money on no Analogs now. I'm sure someone from Hawaii can give us some input, if not will let you know in a few days.

I was there last February and can confirm, no analogs allowed. Same with Kona airport, which is completely outside.

Just had to add my 2 cents. I recently flew from Tampa to Charlotte final destination was Newark. There is no smoking at all in Charlotte except outside so I went into the bathroom and had my ecig. We boarded the plane and were stuck for 3 plus hours on the run way. Well I couldn't take it any more I took out my joye and puffed a couple of times just to take the edge off. Noone said a word, except the girl next to me to say "wow that is so cool" When I finally arrived at Newark 4 hours later I went outside and a woman who was also on the plane said if she was aware I had my ecig she would have begged me for a try.
