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.Upvote16Downvote
Well-run small airport, going through a refurb which should make it even betterUpvote8Downvote
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. :LUpvote6DownvoteUpvoted Jan 4- 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.Upvote2Downvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
...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.UpvoteDownvote
Front of airport to gates is about 15 mins. Power for devices can be found between the fruit machines under the tables.UpvoteDownvote- 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.UpvoteDownvote
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.UpvoteDownvote
Drastic improvements to facilities have been made and it shows. Took me 3 min from baggage drop off to duty freeUpvoteDownvote
Costa has got bigger though the seating at that end of the airport is significantly less!UpvoteDownvote
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.Upvote1Downvote
Holiday ExtrasNovember 1, 2012A huge congratulations to Aberdeen Servisair for winning the Holiday Extras Customers' Award for Best Airport Lounge! Read moreUpvote2Downvote
Britain's fastest growing airport, fourth busiest in UK when you include helicopter movements at the world's busiest heliport.Upvote1Downvote- 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.Upvote2Downvote
- 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.UpvoteDownvote
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...Upvote1Downvote
JessieJuly 11, 2018It’s new and there was ongoing upgrading works so let’s hope for a better and bigger airportUpvoteDownvote- Allen ArcadeFebruary 20, 2012The smoking area is just outside of the taxi and bus queues. Catch a nice whiff when you leave the airport. :(UpvoteDownvote
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!UpvoteDownvote
Busy, cramped, and queues from start to finish. Another depressing adventure through ABZ.UpvoteDownvote- There are only Airport Taxis here. But you can call another taxi company to come and pick you up.UpvoteDownvote
- Now has free WiFi throughout the airportUpvoteDownvote
- Phone a taxi firm and get them to come to the airport and get you. Saves standing on the Airport Taxi queue.UpvoteDownvote
- Peter SmithJuly 16, 2013Departure lounge at the airport. My favorite place in Aberdeen.UpvoteDownvote
Servis Air are useless . Always ask for actual BA staff ;)UpvoteDownvote
jason pAugust 7, 2017Domestic luggage collection a ridiculously long walk in the wrong directionUpvoteDownvote
Not terrible. Queues never usually too bad. Couple bars not many shops but it does the trickUpvoteDownvote

Fairly cheap bus to town (£2.70 single).UpvoteDownvote
Very slow at security end when it gets a bit busy, allow time to be held up here.UpvoteDownvote
- 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.UpvoteDownvote

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...UpvoteDownvote

Vicas Munir WahlaDecember 8, 2019Most shitty taxi service - have to wait almost 30 mins to get a stupid cab - brainless moveUpvoteDownvote
