Yes, you can smoke at Pointe-à-Pitre Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport (PTP) — outdoors, landside, where French law permits smoking in the open air. Both terminals are smoke-free inside.
Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes, also referred to by its operating company as Guadeloupe Maryse Condé Airport, is the territory’s main gateway, with two interconnected terminals: Terminal 1 for international and regional flights, Terminal 2 for regional flights only.
Where to Smoke
As a French overseas department, Guadeloupe applies France’s Code de la santé publique, the framework built on the 1991 Loi Évin, which bans smoking inside enclosed public spaces. No smoking facility inside the terminal or after security is confirmed in either terminal. Smoking is available outdoors, landside, where the indoor ban does not apply.
After Security
No smoking facility inside the terminal or after security is confirmed at PTP, in either terminal. If you’re flying out of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, plan to smoke landside before you clear screening.
Vaping
The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes. No smoking facility inside the terminal or after security is confirmed, so treat vaping the same as smoking — outdoors, landside.
