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 contribution from our Airport Smoking community photographed the Plaza Premium Lounge smoking room in operation in April 2026:

• 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.
