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. ## Where You Can Smoke at Málaga Airport | Area | Location | Airside? | Type | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Gate D72 terrace | Far end of the D pier, Floor 0 — the area Aena lists | Yes (before passport control for the B and C gates) | Roofed open-air terrace | | Outside the terminal | Outdoors, before security | No (landside) | Open-air | | Vaping | Ask staff | — | Aena publishes no vaping rule | For Spain airport smoking rules, vaping rules, and other general info, see our [Spain smoking guide](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/spain/). ## Useful Links - [Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (Aena official site)](https://www.aena.es/en/malaga-costa-del-sol.html) - [Other services at Málaga Airport, including the smoking area (Aena)](https://www.aena.es/en/malaga-costa-del-sol/airport-services/categories/other-services.html) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I smoke at Málaga Airport?
