Kelowna, CanadaSmoking policy at Kelowna International Airport (YLW)
Warnings & Caveats
Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere inside the terminal. Use only the two designated outdoor areas the airport lists.
Yes, but only outdoors: Kelowna International Airport has two designated smoking and vaping areas outside the terminal building and no indoor smoking room.
Before security
The airport says the terminal is smoke- and vape-free inside, at all times and for all substances. Its FAQ lists two outdoor areas for public use: an area with seating at the north end of the terminal building, and a covered area in the short-term parking lot directly across from the terminal.
After security
The airport does not list any smoking area past the security checkpoint. Both designated areas are outside the terminal.
Airport transfers for Kelowna International Airport
Vaping and heated tobacco
The airport names its outdoor areas as smoking and vaping areas, so vaping is allowed there and not inside the building.
Connecting flights
The airport does not say whether you can leave the secure area to smoke and come back. Allow extra time to clear security again if you step outside.
Tips
The north-end area has seating and the parking-lot area is covered, which helps in rain or snow. Kelowna is a small terminal, so both spots are close to the doors.
