Fiji’s main airport is genuinely smoker-friendly: Nadi International has a designated indoor smoking room airside, and Fijian law explicitly authorises airport-terminal smoking rooms. That’s a real convenience for the long-haul Pacific connections that route through Nadi on Fiji Airways.
For international travel through Fiji, Nadi (NAN) is the airport that matters, as the main Pacific gateway.
How Fijian Airport Smoking Works
Fiji’s Tobacco Control Act 2015 bans indoor smoking but explicitly permits airport-terminal smoking rooms:
- A designated indoor smoking room airside at Nadi, after immigration
- Outdoor smoking landside outside the terminal
- E-cigarette use is banned wherever smoking is banned — use the smoking room or outdoors
- E-cigarette sale is also restricted in Fiji
The Hub
Nadi International Airport (NAN). Fiji’s main gateway and Fiji Airways’ hub. The airside smoking room is on the Ground Floor of the Departures terminal, after immigration, next to the Fiji Airways Premier Lounge (traveller-reported). Outdoor smoking is landside before check-in.
Tips for Smokers at Fijian Airports
- Nadi has an airside smoking room — you can smoke without leaving the secure zone on a layover
- Look for it next to the Fiji Airways Premier Lounge on the Departures Ground Floor
- E-cigarettes count as smoking — vape in the room, not at the gates
- Landside smokers use the outdoor areas outside the terminal
