Yes, Toulouse Blagnac Airport (TLS) has outdoor smoking areas. The two airside zones are the new Hall A patio near Gates 60/61 and an area near Gate 9, so passengers do not need to leave the secure zone. Landside, there is a designated area in Hall A and another at Arrivals in Hall C near the information desk. Follow the smoking signage to each one.

Airside Smoking Areas (After Security)

Once through security, two outdoor zones serve departing and connecting passengers without sending them back landside.

  • Hall A patio (Gates 60/61): The recently opened Hall A jetty was built with three outdoor patios, one of which is set aside as a smoking area near the Gate 60/61 zone — the most modern smoking spot at TLS.
  • Near Gate 9: A second outdoor zone in the older departures area, near Gate 9.

Landside Smoking Areas (Before Security)

If you have not yet cleared security, or you have just landed, two designated areas sit just off the public concourse.

  • Hall A (departures level): A marked outdoor area in the Hall A public zone, a short step from check-in.
  • Arrivals, Hall C: An outdoor area at the Arrivals level in Hall C, near the information desk — handy after baggage reclaim.
