Yes, you can smoke at Jenderal Ahmad Yani International Airport (SRG) in the smoking room inside the Concordia Lounge, past security in the domestic departure area (open daily from 05:00 to 17:00), or in the open air outside the terminal building before you check in.
Ahmad Yani is Central Java’s main airport, serving Semarang through a single terminal for domestic and international flights. The airport’s own facilities pages do not list a free-standing public smoking room, so the lounge is the confirmed indoor option for a cigarette after check-in.
After Security (Concordia Lounge)
The Concordia Lounge sits airside near the domestic departure gates and includes a separate smoking room among its amenities. Access is not limited to elite-status travellers: the lounge accepts Priority Pass alongside walk-in, pay-at-door tickets, so any passenger heading through the domestic side — and international passengers connecting through — can buy a pass and use the smoking room before their flight.
Before Security
The airport’s official facilities listing does not name a designated landside smoking area. Landside, open-air smoking outside the terminal building is permitted — Indonesian law (Government Regulation No. 28/2024) governs designated indoor and enclosed smoking spaces (Kawasan Tanpa Rokok), not open ground outside a building. The airport publishes no designated outdoor spot, so use this option before check-in rather than looking for a marked area.
Vaping
The airport publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes. Indonesia’s Government Regulation No. 28/2024 regulates vaping products nationally rather than banning them, so use the Concordia Lounge’s smoking room or the open air outside the terminal, the same as you would for cigarettes.
