The airport publishes no gate numbers or opening hours for them. Travellers described them in October 2022 as one past the duty-free shop on the left after security, one near Gate 14 and one beside the children’s play area at Gate 1; ask staff. Between flights, smoke there; ask staff whether your route to them passes a control.
