Looking for a place to smoke at Gothenburg Landvetter Airport? GOT maintains indoor smoking rooms plus outdoor areas, with the airport stating that a smoking area is never more than a 5-minute walk from any point after security.
Indoor Smoking Room
Across from Gates 19A/20A:
The main indoor smoking room is located right before the passport check and baggage claim area, directly across from Gates 19A and 20A. This is accessible to most passengers in the main terminal.
Important: When Gates 19/20 are used for non-Schengen flights (often UK flights), they are separated from the main smoking room by a glass wall. Passengers at Gates 19B/20B cannot access this room without going back through the passport checkpoint.
Non-Schengen Area
- Near Gate 23: Smoking area after passport control for non-Schengen departures
- Level 4: Smoking area approximately 100 meters before passport control
- Level 2 (UK arrivals and non-Schengen departures): Smoking area near Gate 22, approximately 100 meters from passport control
After Customs (Landside)
- Outdoor smoking area approximately 30 meters from the terminal building after passing through customs
Gothenburg Landvetter Smoking Policy
Sweden’s Act on Tobacco and Similar Products (SFS 2018:2088) bans smoking at airport entrances, bus and taxi boarding areas, and outdoor areas around terminals. However, designated indoor smoking areas are permitted in workplaces and public places, which is why Landvetter maintains its indoor room.
