Smoking at Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport – AGP

Yes, you can smoke at Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) after security, on the airport’s designated smoking terrace by Gate D72 at the far end of the D gates, and before security outdoors outside the terminal. The D gates handle Schengen flights; if you fly to the UK, Ireland or elsewhere outside Schengen from the B or C gates, you can use the terrace before passport control.

After Security: Gate D72 Terrace

Aena lists one designated smoking area at Málaga: a roofed terrace beside Gate D72, at the far end of the D pier, on Floor 0. From the D gates, follow the blue smoking-area sign below the D-gate signs and go down the steps to your right. Travellers described the sign as clear in April 2026 and found the terrace in use in September 2026. The glass doors are marked “Zona de fumadores / Smoking area”, and the terrace has benches and ashtray stands.

The D gates serve Schengen flights, so you reach the terrace without passport control. Passengers for the non-Schengen B and C gates, including UK and Irish flights, can use it before passport control; Aena asks passengers who must pass passport control to head to their boarding area as soon as their gate is shown, so allow time for the queue.

Before Security (Landside)

Aena lists no smoking area outside the terminal. Before security, smoke outdoors, outside the terminal building; in September 2025 travellers described a spot outside the doors on the right, before security. Ask staff if you are unsure where smoking is allowed.

Vaping

Aena publishes no vaping rule for Málaga, so ask staff before you vape on the Gate D72 terrace or anywhere else.
