Smoking policy at Gold Coast Airport (OOL)
Warnings & Caveats
Smoking, vaping and e-cigarettes are banned inside the terminal, airside and in any no-smoking area. A fine may apply if you do not use the dedicated areas and bins.
Yes, you can smoke at Gold Coast Airport, but only in the designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal.
Before security
The airport's FAQ says designated smoking areas are at the northern end of the terminal, along the northern car park walkway, the centre walkway and in the southern forecourt. A second airport page lists the same places without the centre walkway. The FAQ links to the terminal map for exact positions.
After security
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the terminal and in airside areas, so there is nowhere to smoke after security.
