JohnOctober 2, 2011Get 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
Arnas BaubkusJanuary 7, 2013The wi-fi password is barely protected.. A very nice airport, calm, no-one in a rush. Coming back through this one soon. :L- Ankur BanerjeeAugust 5, 2014Security 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!
...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.- Small but clean and convenient airport. The staff is attentive.
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!
Drastic improvements to facilities have been made and it shows. Took me 3 min from baggage drop off to duty free
Holiday ExtrasNovember 1, 2012A huge congratulations to Aberdeen Servisair for winning the Holiday Extras Customers' Award for Best Airport Lounge! Read more
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.
Allen ArcadeFebruary 24, 2012The British Airways kiosk and service desk do not open until 4:30 a.m. even if the rest of the airport has opened...
JessieJuly 11, 2018It’s new and there was ongoing upgrading works so let’s hope for a better and bigger airport- Allen ArcadeFebruary 20, 2012The smoking area is just outside of the taxi and bus queues. Catch a nice whiff when you leave the airport. :(
Adrian WarnerFebruary 15, 2013No 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.
Servis Air are useless . Always ask for actual BA staff ;)

Not terrible. Queues never usually too bad. Couple bars not many shops but it does the trick
Very slow at security end when it gets a bit busy, allow time to be held up here.
- Jay S.December 27, 2013Awfully organised queues at the baggage drop off. Staff could apologise for the wait after standing the enormous queue. Never again.
George CowieJanuary 8, 2016Telephone number at top of this page is a dud. 1.20 am trying to find out if my 6 am flight is on. Poor service...
1 cafe late & a lorne and egg roll almost 6 pounds @ wetherspoon
Eat before you get here and check in. The foods awful and really over priced.
Vicas Munir WahlaDecember 8, 2019Most shitty taxi service - have to wait almost 30 mins to get a stupid cab - brainless move

"Small (5 departure gates only), but very cozy and efficient airport. You get what you need for your travel and ofcourse you have to go through the cold outside to get to the craft."
