Yes, Bhubaneswar (BBSR) Airport (BBI) has an indoor smoking zone inside the Bird Lounge, which is landside (before security), plus an outdoor area at the departures forecourt. There is no confirmed smoking room after security, so smoke before you clear the checkpoint or step outside.
Bhubaneswar’s Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) serves as Odisha’s main airport, connecting the state capital to major Indian cities. It also handles pilgrimage traffic to nearby Puri and the Jagannath Temple.
Inside Terminals
The indoor smoking zone is inside the Bird Lounge, located landside (before security) opposite Gate 2. Lounge access is available via Priority Pass or on a pay-per-use basis.
Because this room is before the security checkpoint, there is no confirmed smoking room once you are airside. If you need to smoke after security, do so in the Bird Lounge before clearing security, or step out to the outdoor area at departures.
Outside Terminals
Designated outdoor smoking areas are located near the departures entrance. The parking area outside the terminal has open space where smoking is permitted. After arriving, look for the outdoor area near the curbside pickup zone.
