Outside Terminals
At Arrivals
As reported by a traveller in our Airport Smoking community, arriving passengers can walk straight across the road opposite the terminal exit to find a small park where many locals and cab drivers smoke. It is a convenient outdoor spot if you need a cigarette before heading into Jakarta. Signposting is minimal, so just follow where you see people smoking.
Airport Lounges with Smoking
Several airport lounges at CGK include smoking facilities among their amenities. A recent contribution from our Airport Smoking community (see Community Photos below) highlights the Plaza Premium Lounge as offering one of the best smoking rooms at CGK:
Plaza Premium Lounge – Has a well-maintained smoking room inside the lounge; accessible with Priority Pass or paid entry
Garuda Indonesia Lounge (Terminal 1) – Two smoking rooms inside the lounge
Terminal 2 gate lounges – Several lounges between T2 gates include smoking rooms alongside prayer rooms and private working areas
If you have lounge access through your airline or Priority Pass, check if your lounge has a smoking room — it is often more comfortable than the public rooms near the gates.
