Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD)

Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport has a very simple smoking setup: the only place to smoke on the entire airport campus is the open bar terrace located directly in front of the terminal building, which is a landside, publicly accessible outdoor area. The airport's own FAQ states explicitly that there are currently no designated smoking premises inside the terminal, and no airside smoking areas exist.

Before Security

• The open bar terrace in front of the terminal building is the sole smoking spot. It is outdoors, landside, and accessible to anyone before check-in or after arriving and exiting the building. No special access or payment is required.

• There are no indoor smoking rooms or designated zones inside the terminal on the landside.

After Security

There are no smoking areas past the security checkpoint. Once you have cleared security and entered the departure area, you cannot smoke anywhere airside. The airport does list a "Primeclass CIP" lounge among its facilities, but the official FAQ makes no mention of any smoking provision within it, so do not count on it as a smoking option.

Vaping Rules

The airport website does not address vaping or e-cigarettes specifically. Given that the only permitted smoking spot is the outdoor terrace before security, it is safest to treat vaping the same way and use only that outdoor area.

Transit and Layovers

Ohrid is a small, seasonal charter-focused airport with a single terminal and no airside transit lounge. If you have a layover here, there is no practical way to smoke after security without exiting the secure zone, and re-entry would require going through security screening again. The airport does not publish a re-entry policy for this scenario.

Bottom Line

Smoke before you check in, at the outdoor terrace in front of the terminal. Once you are past security, there are no options at all.
