Yes, Dalian Zhoushuizi (DLC) has designated outdoor smoking areas near the terminal entrance on the departure level and near the parking structure. Indoor smoking has been banned since 2016, so step outside the building to smoke.

是的,大连周水子国际机场(DLC)在出发层航站楼入口和停车场附近均设有指定户外吸烟区。室内吸烟自2016年起全面禁止,需要出航站楼吸烟。

Terminal Smoking Areas

Dalian operates a single terminal serving both domestic and international flights. Since the 2016 nationwide ban, there are zero smoking rooms anywhere inside the building. Once you clear security and reach the gate area, you’re in a completely smoke-free environment until you leave the terminal.

The single-terminal layout is less painful than at mega-hubs like PEK or PVG — the building is compact and security lines are generally manageable. Budget 20-30 minutes for the round trip during busy periods.

航站楼吸烟区 — 大连机场为单航站楼,服务国内和国际航班。2016年全国禁令后,航站楼室内无任何吸烟室。过安检到达登机口区域,直到离开航站楼前完全禁烟。

单航站楼布局比PEK或PVG等大型枢纽更友好——建筑紧凑,安检排队通常可控。繁忙时段往返预算20-30分钟。

Before Security / Landside

The main outdoor smoking area is near the terminal’s front entrance on the departure level. Step outside through the main doors and look for the designated spot along the curbside to the right. There’s also a secondary spot near the parking structure entrance. Signage is primarily in Chinese, but the universal smoking pictogram is easy to spot. On the arrivals level, smoke after exiting baggage claim — step outside and move away from the doorways to the marked zone.

安检前 / 公共区 — 主户外吸烟区位于出发层航站楼前门附近。出主门,在路边右侧寻找指定吸烟点。停车场入口附近还有次要吸烟点。标识以中文为主,但通用吸烟图标容易识别。到达层取行李后可吸烟——出门后远离门口,前往标识区域。
