Gimpo Airport Smoking Areas — 3 Spots Outside the Domestic and International Terminals (Map)
If you are looking for a smoking area before your flight, Gimpo Airport has 3 areas registered in public data. The three are about 250 m apart, so you can pick the one closest to the exit you leave the terminal from. Smoking is completely banned inside the terminal buildings and boarding areas, so you must use the designated areas outside. Note that the coordinates of these three spots are approximate locations converted from addresses in public data, so the map pins may be tens of meters off from the actual entrances. Please also check the signs on site.

The three registered areas are about 250 m apart
Gangseo-gu public data lists three Gimpo Airport smoking areas, ①, ② and ③. Taking ① as the reference, ② is about 260 m east and ③ about 250 m south, so you can walk between them in 3–4 minutes. As they are classified as aviation facilities, their locations may be adjusted according to terminal operating policy, and since construction and remodeling are frequent here, the signs on site are the final reference. Tapping a pin on the map above and checking the surroundings in road view first makes them easier to find.
Smoking is completely banned inside the terminals
Smoking is completely banned inside the airport terminals, in the boarding lounges and around the gates. Once you pass security screening it is hard to come back out, so it is best to finish smoking at an outdoor area before going through security. For domestic flights, even allowing time for check-in and screening, you should enter the terminal at least 30 minutes before departure, so plan to go before then.
Where to dispose of cigarette butts
There are no registered cigarette butt bins within 800 m of Gimpo Airport yet. Airport smoking areas usually have ashtrays, so please use them. It is easy to drop a butt while pulling a suitcase around, so please be especially careful here. This site is not meant to encourage smoking; it was made to show both where you can smoke and where to dispose of butts. If people can't find a designated area and smoke on the street, they run into non-smokers, and butts thrown on the ground clog storm drains and worsen flooding or lead to fires and ocean pollution. The location information on this page was collected for the same purpose, so please be sure to put your butts in an ashtray or a bin.
Things to note
Smoking inside airport facilities is subject to a fine of up to 100,000 won under the National Health Promotion Act, and littering cigarette butts carries a 50,000 won fine. The three registered spots are approximate locations based on addresses, and they are marked that way in the list and the map pop-ups.
