    Get a return ticket for the 727 Shuttle Bus direct to Aberdeen City Centre. Costs a fraction of the price of a taxi. The shuttle bus also has free wi-fi.

    Well-run small airport, going through a refurb which should make it even better

    The wi-fi password is barely protected.. A very nice airport, calm, no-one in a rush. Coming back through this one soon. :L

    Security queue times are a crapshoot - if it's not busy, you sail through in 1-2 minutes. If an international flight is scheduled for departure though, that's when it takes forever.

    Ye indeed - the wifi is barely protected at all! If you hang around the 3rd bin on the left outside you get great reception! Free wifi ftw!

    Get the 727 bus to town, takes about half hour for £3.20.

    ...and let's not forget that despite all the so-called investment in the airport, passengers still have to queue outside to board the plane come wind, rain, snow or hail.

    I have seen the airport change from a local airstrip in 2005 to a international airport to be this year, ever time (16 times by now) a step better, keep on developing.

    Front of airport to gates is about 15 mins. Power for devices can be found between the fruit machines under the tables.

    If you have time for a pint before takeoff, the Granite City outside the security check is a couple of notches above The Globe inside.

    Costa has got bigger though the seating at that end of the airport is significantly less!

    Britain's fastest growing airport, fourth busiest in UK when you include helicopter movements at the world's busiest heliport.

    If the queue to the security gates is unexpectedly long, try the priority security gate. Costs just 4 quid and you will be through in a breeze.

    The airport which makes Aberdonians embarrassed. Badly run, often rude staff who enforce ridiculous rules which even the experienced traveller has never encountered anywhere else in the world.

    ComCab taxis operate from door. Others can be summoned to pick up. Bus service into town or to Dyce rail station. Allow time for heavy traffic at rush hours.

    The British Airways kiosk and service desk do not open until 4:30 a.m. even if the rest of the airport has opened...

    The smoking area is just outside of the taxi and bus queues. Catch a nice whiff when you leave the airport. :(

    No plug sockets near any of the seats when airside so don't expect to be able to charge your phone, iPod etc!

    There are only Airport Taxis here. But you can call another taxi company to come and pick you up.

    Busy, cramped, and queues from start to finish. Another depressing adventure through ABZ.

    Phone a taxi firm and get them to come to the airport and get you. Saves standing on the Airport Taxi queue.

    Awfully organised queues at the baggage drop off. Staff could apologise for the wait after standing the enormous queue. Never again.
