There is multiple smoking areas, both on the top, main drive, and on the lower road...smoking next to ANY door is not permitted.

There are a couple options, all have a weekly maximum price. For the best economic long term parking it would be best to do the Park N' Fly which is close by, they offer a shuttle service that takes you to and from their parking lot. They have the cheapest weekly parking rate. For more options and information, check out the airport's parking page here: https://halifaxstanfield.ca/park-shop-dine/parking/

Yes

Thank you for your prompt reply, greatly appreciate it. We will be flying with Westjet all the way, so we will just make sure when we check in we will make sure if we need to claim our luggage or not.

Depends on the time of year and room you want if you are talking about the new(er) Alt Hotel.

It's not really a question regarding how, but more regarding the destination. Each provinces have their own rules and if your starting point allows it you just have to make sure your destination too. Government website is a good starting point : https://www.canada.ca/en/services/health/campaigns/cannabis/border.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc_en&utm_content=cannabis_3&utm_campaign=cannabis-18 Basically you are allowed with 30g for traveling by plane within Canada. Also the airport has it own section: https://halifaxstanfield.ca/at-the-airport/airport-policies/cannabis/

I believe yes. But you will need to go through security check again.

Yes, but good to check with your airline to make sure your seat and flight remains the same.

Usually gates 10-16 but there is no set gate that they park at

I dont belive so last time my partner came back from NFLD I had to wait in the car for her to come out....but may have changed..call air line for check up..mask is mandatory. Hope this helps.
