Yes, Xiamen Gaoqi (XMN) has indoor airside smoking rooms in both the T3 (domestic) and T4 (international) waiting halls, past security. There are also designated outdoor smoking areas near the ground-level entrances of both terminals, and Xiamen’s mild subtropical climate makes those outdoor breaks more comfortable here than at most Chinese airports.

是的,厦门高崎国际机场(XMN)在T3(国内)和T4(国际)候机大厅安检后均设有室内吸烟室。两座航站楼地面入口附近也设有指定户外吸烟区,厦门温和的亚热带气候使户外吸烟比多数中国机场更舒适。

There’s something fitting about Xiamen’s reputation as a garden city — clean, livable, with coastal air that smells fresh and streets lined with banyan trees. Gaoqi International Airport keeps indoor smoking rooms in both waiting halls past security, so smokers are well looked after, and the mild subtropical climate makes the outdoor zones pleasant too. The new Xiang’an airport (under construction with phased opening expected 2026-2027) will eventually replace Gaoqi entirely.

厦门"花园城市"的美誉名副其实——洁净宜居,海风清新,街道两旁榕树成荫。高崎国际机场在两座候机大厅安检后均保留室内吸烟室,对吸烟旅客照顾周到;温和的亚热带气候也使户外吸烟区同样宜人。新翔安机场(在建,预计2026-2027分阶段启用)未来将完全取代高崎。

Terminal 3 (Domestic) Smoking Areas

T3 handles all domestic flights and is the busier terminal. Past security, the waiting hall has an indoor smoking room, so you can stay airside between flights. Landside, outdoor areas sit at the ground-level entrance on the arrivals side — step outside, walk a short distance from the doors, look for marked zones with standing ashtrays. The departures level upstairs also has outdoor areas near the drop-off lane.

3号航站楼(国内)吸烟区 — T3服务所有国内航班,是较繁忙的航站楼。安检后候机大厅设有室内吸烟室,中转间隔可留在安检区内。公共区方面,户外吸烟区位于地面到达层入口外——出门后走几步,寻找带立式烟灰缸的标识区域。上层出发层落客区附近也设有户外吸烟点。

Terminal 4 (International) Smoking Areas

T4 opened in 2018 and serves international flights plus routes to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Xiamen Airlines uses it as a hub for Southeast Asian connections. Its waiting hall has an indoor airside smoking room too — handy for international transit passengers who would otherwise have to re-clear immigration. Outdoor smoking areas follow T3’s pattern — ground-level near the arrivals exit, and T4 is compact, so you’re never more than a few minutes from outside.

4号航站楼(国际)吸烟区 — T4于2018年启用,服务国际航班及港澳台航线,是厦航连接东南亚的枢纽。候机大厅同样设有室内空侧吸烟室——对否则需重新过移民检查的国际中转旅客尤为方便。户外吸烟区布局与T3相同——地面到达层出口附近;T4紧凑,任何位置距出门仅几分钟。

Before Security / Landside

Both terminals also have outdoor zones for when you’re landside. After landing, walk through arrivals and out the doors. Before departure, you can smoke at the outdoor zone then head inside, or wait and use the indoor room in the waiting hall once you’re airside. The two terminals are connected by a covered walkway — no bus needed, but no smoking areas along the walkway itself.

安检前 / 公共区 — 两座航站楼在公共区也设有户外吸烟区。抵达后走过到达大厅出门。出发前可在户外吸烟区抽烟再进入,或过安检后使用候机大厅的室内吸烟室。两座航站楼通过有顶连廊连接——无需摆渡车,但连廊本身无吸烟区。

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there smoking areas at Xiamen Gaoqi Airport?

Yes. Both the T3 (domestic) and T4 (international) waiting halls have indoor airside smoking rooms past security. There are also outdoor zones near the ground-level entrances of both terminals. China has no national ban on indoor airport smoking, so rooms vary airport by airport — at XMN they remain in service.

Why does Xiamen Airport have T3 and T4 but no T1 or T2?

The original T1 and T2 terminals were demolished when the newer T3 (domestic, opened 2014) and T4 (international, opened 2018) were built. The numbering was kept sequential rather than restarting.

Can I smoke in the Xiamen Airlines lounge?

The lounges themselves are smoke-free, but you don’t have to go outside — each waiting hall (T3 domestic and T4 international) has a dedicated indoor smoking room airside. Step out of the lounge to the nearest smoking room, or use the outdoor zones by the terminal entrances landside.

Is the weather comfortable for outdoor smoking at Xiamen Airport?

Yes, mostly. Xiamen has a mild subtropical climate — winters rarely drop below 10°C, summers stay around 30-33°C with sea breezes. Rain is most common May-August, and a new replacement airport (Xiang’an) is under construction to eventually replace Gaoqi.

有。T3(国内)和T4(国际)候机大厅安检后均设有室内吸烟室。两座航站楼地面入口附近也设有户外吸烟区。中国并无全国性机场室内禁烟令,各机场吸烟室设置不一——XMN的室内吸烟室仍在使用。

为什么厦门机场只有T3和T4没有T1和T2?

贵宾室本身禁烟,但无需出门——T3国内和T4国际候机大厅均设有专门的室内吸烟室。出贵宾室就近前往吸烟室,或使用航站楼入口附近的户外吸烟区。

厦门机场户外吸烟天气舒适吗?
