Arkhangelsk Talagi Airport Smoking Policy
Arkhangelsk Airport (officially named after writer F. A. Abramov, and still widely known by its Talagi location name) serves Russia’s far north and handles over a million passengers a year. It runs domestic and international flights, with a runway rebuilt in 2023 and an additional passenger pavilion opened in 2024.
Travellers report a smoking room in the airside departure zone at Arkhangelsk, accessed by asking the attendant (дежурная) — it is not clearly signposted, so staff will point you to it. The domestic-flights business lounge also has its own smoking area. You can equally smoke outdoors, away from the terminal entrance. Russian federal law prohibits smoking in the open terminal areas, so use the smoking room or the outdoor area.
