If you’re flying out of Manchester Airport and thinking about having a last-minute smoke or ‘vape’ before you hop onto your flight, then we’ve got where you can head before take-off.
Find out where you can smoke at Manchester Airport
You cannot smoke on any UK flight. UK airlines do not permit smoking on board, therefore the ‘no smoking’ signs will remain on throughout the flight – so make sure you head to a designated smoking area before or after security.
Manchester Terminal 1:
Can you smoke after security? There is an outdoor smoking area near the food court in Terminal 1 for any smokers looking for a pre-flight smoke.
What about e-cigarettes? You cannot use electronic cigarettes anywhere inside the terminal building.
Manchester Terminal 2:
Can you smoke after security? If you want to smoke after security in Terminal 2, there’s an outdoor smoking area located near Gate 300.
What about e-cigarettes? You cannot use electronic cigarettes anywhere inside the terminal building.
Manchester Terminal 3:
Can you smoke after security? There is no airside smoking area at Terminal 3, so smokers will have to use the designated area outside the terminal landside.

E-cigarettes
With much of the UK replacing their tobacco products with e-cigarettes, ‘vapers’ will need to make sure they’re aware of the restrictions of flying with them.
You cannot use your e-cigarette on the plane – it’s very clear – but you must pack it in your hand luggage. You cannot pack your e-cigarette into your checked luggage due to the restrictions on lithium batteries – often used in e-cigarettes. You also cannot charge your e-cigarette on the plane and are not allowed to take more than two individually protected spare batteries.
