Smoking at Fiji Airports (NAN)

Smoking at Fiji’s main gateway is straightforward on the way in: Nadi International keeps designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal, marked on both the arrivals and departures levels. The departure lounge is smoke-free — the former airside smoking room was removed during the terminal renovations — so plan your last cigarette before you clear immigration and security.

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 and authorises designated airport smoking rooms; at Nadi the current provision is outdoors:

Designated outdoor smoking areas outside the terminal, landside, on the arrivals and departures levels
The international departure lounge is smoke-free — the former airside room was removed in the renovation works, and there is no re-entry once through security
E-cigarette use is banned wherever smoking is banned — vape at the outdoor areas
E-cigarette sale is also restricted in Fiji, so bring your own supplies

The Hub

Nadi International Airport (NAN). Fiji’s main gateway, Fiji Airways’ hub, and the busiest passenger airport in the South Pacific. Smoking is handled entirely outdoors, landside: designated marked areas sit outside the terminal on both the arrivals and departures levels. Connecting passengers who want a cigarette need to clear immigration into Fiji, smoke outside, and then pass back through security and immigration for the onward flight.

Tips for Smokers at Fijian Airports

Take your last cigarette at the outdoor areas before you go through security — the departure lounge is smoke-free with no re-entry
On a Fiji Airways layover, budget time to clear immigration, smoke outside, and re-clear security and immigration
E-cigarettes count as smoking — vape at the outdoor areas, not at the gates
The outdoor areas offer little seating or shelter, so allow extra time in poor weather
