I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

Like a building site early April. A two year project to enlarge the departures and check-in area is under way.

Every airport I've been at recently - Edinburgh, Faro, Krakow - has been "under redevelopment". A bit of a pain.

No access to upstairs last Thursday (looks like it's being ripped apart) and no alternative smoking area except outside.

For anyone interested just found these two links to what's happening with the new renovations at airport, not read them fully but there could be info somewhere within them if there is going to be a new smokers lounge or not. http://www.ana.pt/en-US/Topo/institucional/aboutANA/News/News/Pages/A-growing-airport.aspx?fromlist=1

Do people have such little will power that they have to check in advance if there is a smokers area because they can't go without a fag for a few hours.

According to check in desk as we left today. The smoking room won`t be re-opening.
WARNING DO NOT WAIT FOR THE AIRPORT ON THE WAY HOME TO PURCHASE YOUR CIGS
Everywhere in Albufeira 10 X 30gram Amber leaf = 64 euros. Faro airport the same 10 X 30 gram Amber Leaf = 79 euros
Fortunately we purchased ours over the week and got 100 pouches for 150 euros less than at the airport

We had a 4 hour delay (i.e. 6 hours inside the airport) coming down from Southend and they allowed us smokers to go back outside (i.e. through security etc) to have a cigarette outside. As long as we took our boarding passes we could go as many times as we wanted. Now that is consideration
