I think folk mean.......
check your luggage in and then go in the airport before coming back outside/to the outside cafe
then you can smoke

BUT

don't go through passport control cos you can't smoke once you've gone through there

am sure someone will be along to correct me if am wrong ha ha

Ok John,

We came back a couple of weeks ago and the travel rep did check and you can book in your luggage and go back outside,before you go to passport control, but you have to come back through security to get back into the airport. We were delayed that day and had already gone through passport control and you are not allowed back out after this point. We went into the cip lounge though were you are allowed to smoke. Hope this helps.

Cip lounge costs though doesn't it?
also do you have to pre book it - and if not, what if it's full??

No where to smoke. I thought you could smoke in CIP lounge, so paid 37 lira to get in, when got in was told there was no where to smoke. I had an hour and half delay aswell.

Thats spot on john.We did exactly that when we came home on the 9th june.We had a delay of 5 hours so sat outside at the coffee shop where the reps are waiting when you arrive.We asked them to let us know of any updates about our travel home.They were very helpful.Hence we sat out in the cool evening breeze instead of being stuck in departures for 6 hours.

Hi all, when did they stop people smoking in Dalaman, when we were there last September there was a smoking booth by the duty free and you were allowed to smoke upstairs. pj

Below the no smoking signs there are quoting a law that was passed 1st Feb, so I assume it was from then.

19th May was when the smoking ban came into force for public buildings, Airports, Bus Stations etc.

i flew back on 30th May and if i wanted i could have paid 11 lira to go and have a smoke in the lounge but it was not worth it, they must have enforced it just after that
