The Blunt Truth: Smoke-Free Skies
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
Let's get this out of the way first. Melbourne Airport is pretty serious about fresh air. Gone are the days of hazy departure lounges and smoke-filled bathrooms (sorry, tempting as it may be). Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the terminals, which includes all those fancy restaurants, duty-free shops, and even those questionable massage chairs.
But Wait, There's Hope for Puff-Crazed Passengers!
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Don't despair, tobacco comrades! Melbourne Airport, in its infinite mercy (or maybe fire code compliance), has carved out a designated smoking area for us weary travelers. Think of it as an oasis, a Shangri-La of cigarette serenity. But here's the catch: finding this haven can be a bit of an adventure.

Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

Prepare for a mini-quest to appease your nicotine gods. The smoking area is located outside the terminal buildings, so you'll need to factor in some extra time for your pre-flight puff. Follow the signs (because let's face it, we've all gotten lost in an airport before) and enjoy a breath of fresh air...laced with a hint of tobacco.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
