Yes, you can smoke at Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) after security, in three smoking areas: on Level 3 at the junction of gates 19 and 20A–B, before the passport control that serves gates 21A–B, 22 and 23; on Level 3 past that passport control, between gates 22 and 23; and on Level 4, beside the toilets next to the passport control on that level. Swedavia allows smoking at its airports only at places set aside for it and publishes no hours for these areas, so ask staff if one is closed. Outside the terminal the airport lists no smoking area; ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside, and if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.

After security: Levels 3 and 4

Göteborg Landvetter has three smoking areas inside the terminal, all after security:

  • Level 3, junction of gates 19 and 20A–B - Before the passport control for gates 21A–B, 22 and 23, so a connecting passenger reaches it without leaving the secure area
  • Level 3, between gates 22 and 23 - Past that passport control
  • Level 4, next to the passport control - Beside the toilets

The airport publishes no hours, no size and no rule of its own for the areas, so ask staff if one is closed. The Lounge by Menzies Aviation (04:30 to 20:15 Monday to Friday, 04:30 to 19:30 Saturday and Sunday, hours that vary with air traffic, entry from three hours before departure), at gate 18, publishes no smoking rule; SAS does not allow smoking, e-cigarettes or vaping products in any SAS Lounge, including its lounge at gate 18.

Before security

The airport lists no smoking area outside the terminal and none in arrivals; it marks no-smoking points at two exits on Level 2. Ask staff for the nearest place to smoke outside the building; if there is none, smoke outside the airport property, beyond the terminal kerb and car parks.

Vaping

Swedavia’s airport rules for Landvetter extend the smoking ban in and at the terminal to e-cigarettes and allow smoking only at the places set aside for it; they publish nothing more on vaping in the smoking areas, so ask staff before you vape there.
