Aberdeen International Airport

Aberdeen airport is fantastic for flying out of! I usually hop on a flight back and forth from Aberdeen to London with British Airways and EasyJet. The security folks at Aberdeen airport are super helpful, and they’re always there if I need anything. There aren’t too many shops and cafés, but for the size of the airport, it’s pretty good. The only thing that could be better is the parking, which can be a bit pricey compared to other airports in Scotland.

Great little airport with decent staff, good services which is well run. They make the transfer to your plan effortless with passing through security quick, a compact duty free area plus restaurants and a Costa. I wish other airports were so easy, ✈️🛩️🚁🛬😊👍✔️‼️

Love a small airport, everything is very clear. Many good improvements were made. After I dropped of our girls for their flight, I had to wait until my husband finished his flight and I could work in Costa until he was finished

Great security, really nice and chatty. Not much shopping wise, but a nice ba lounge. Have a extremely long trek to collect bags from the belt and did take quite a while.

We landed at 11pm. Got through pretty quickly dispise being late at night with little staffing. Asked questions as needed no more no less, lovely staffs but we were knackered so we got to luggage and drove home. All well ends well

My family was here from Italy...such of good small airport but they have to take another fly to back in Italy....I just wondering why we have no one fly from Aberdeen to Italy?! That will make happy so many Italian family and not just them dual is because country to visit and that could bring so much money to the airport too. Hope you will consider my review and take a note ♥️

Always a great experience with aberdeen airport. Good size with a few eating and drinks options. Good flight options and usually not too busy. Security is very quick even at busy times and all staff are excellent. Reason for 4 stars over 5 is that they could possibly improve some flight options as can do Europe direct but still a few options not available. Im not sure if that's airport or airlines. Either way excellent would reccomend using this airport.

Airport check in and security was a breeze, everyone was helpful and knowledgeable. The downside, and not just at ABZ, the cost of food is inflated as they have a captive audience. In fact, all of the high street presence have uplifted prices. 2 pints, a tea, a coffee, 4 breakfast rolls (2 single, 2 doubles) was over £60! There is an opportunity to smoke airside, but the charge is £2 to get through the turnstiles.

Went to pick up a friend. Got lost driving around the carpark with extremely poor signage. And was charged £5 !!!!!! Appalling, blatant profiteering.

A small but efficient airport. Decent selection of restaurants, and they even have Boots stores. I'm so disappointed that they don't exist in the States, because I'm completely hooked! Side note, the UK in ON IT when it comes to recycling! I used the restroom here, and they had little stations where you could dispose of your chewing gum for recycling. Your CHEWING GUM! How brilliant is that?! It was a bit odd to have to go outside to retrieve my luggage, but that was due to construction. But oh well, I've dealt with worse.

Aberdeen Airport is my local airport, going through a massive refurbishment effort. The security check area has been improved and the shopping/restaurant area is now massively renewed as well. Probably the only improvement recently that is a bit less is the distance to walk from domestic arrivals to the luggage belt. However, if improvements keep coming like this, it will be a very pleasant airport indeed.

Security screening is vastly improved since my last visit. Very friendly and no hassle! There is also a great new Northern Lights lounge that has the best scotch selection I've ever seen in a lounge. Overall a great experience now

Had a very easy check-in experience here, unlike other larger airports in the UK! This airport has ample parking garage! My only gripe is that seems like in UK airports, the airlines display gate numbers only 30 mins before departure!

I'm convinced the word gale (as in storm, wind and rain) came from the term Gaelic (as in place and culture). Because that what was happening in Aberdeen yesterday. The weather there tends to be a bit wet anyway and on this day, it was raining and windy all day. The Aberdeen airport is in the village of Dyce. It's a one-stop train ride from Aberdeen or a 20GBP taxi ride. The airport is small and efficient and I've had the sort of pleasure of passing through many times. Based on past and recent events, the following: To Border Control who used to be pleasant but who more and more have gotten seriously protectionist (and I don't mean security, I mean: "Are you here to steal our jobs?"), I say: You have become bureaucratic power mongers and I no longer like you in general and in some cases specifically. To the airport staff who yesterday cleared the entire airport so courteously and efficiently and who kept everyone informed via loudspeaker over the roar of the gale, I say: Thank you, well done, good show! To the young gentleman who while outside asked one of the staff if there was a plan for getting people back into the building, allowing for babies, children and elderly first, I say: Wow, that was massively impressive, thank you for an important lesson. To the person who was smoking inside the airport and who set off the fire alarm causing about 200 people including elderly, children, infants and people generally under dressed to stand outside for almost an hour while the building was inspected and who caused multiple flights to be missed or delayed, I say: You're an ass hat, fuck you.

19.30, nowhere open for pre security drinks. A queue only to rival that of the queues in Birmingham airport. Aberdeen is not international, it's not exclusive. It's dreak there is no other word.

A very compact and efficient airport. I have flown in and out of here many times over the past twenty years and have never had a problem. Check-ins and baggage claim are always fast. it is also conveniently located just on the western rim of Aberdeen which makes it easy to head in multiple directions without having to cut through the city center with its incumbent traffic snarls.

This is one of my most favorite airports in the whole world!! Having lived in Aberdeen for years, I'm still through here pretty often and I actually ENJOY Dyce Airport!! I know, you think I've been smoking something and that when we die, we'll all be punished by having to spend eternity in an airport, but not so. All large and the vast majority of medium sized airports are God-awful, I agree, but small ones can be a breath of fresh air!! Dyce Airport is located conveniently close to the city. It's small, but not tiny. It has a sufficient number of decent quality shops and restaurants. The staff are not so overworked that they're not fairly pleasant. Ticketing, boarding, security, passport control, and baggage collection all move along with actual detectable forward motion. Aberdeen is a wonderfully easy connection to either London or Amsterdam and then onward to the entire world. Low-hassle and low-stress and how many airports can you say that about? Oh, and British security does not consist solely of sexual molesters, like the TSA. How nice is is not to have your privates groped? "Sir, is that a box cutter in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Pre-9/11 story. I've been going through this airport since the mid 90s. After you got off an international arrival, customs control used to be just a sign on the wall next to a dial-less phone. The sign said "If you have anything to declare upon arrival, please pick up the phone and someone will come from our office in the city centre in approx. 30 mins time. Thank you. HM Customs". I shit you not!! I love you Dyce Airport. Please never change if you love me too :-*

Hardly worth Aberdeen having an airport as the choice of destinations is so poor. Have lived in Aberdeen nearly 20 years now and never managed to fly on holiday from this airport. Fine for flights to England but for popular holidays destinations abroad like Palma etc, forget it. Annual 3 hour drive to Edinburgh as per usual !!!

This airport is quite small, so small that there is only one baggage claim. WHAAAAAT?!

Yes security is marginally quicker, but there is nowhere to get a coffee or shop before security. The general departure lounge is a disgrace, the seating is almost threadbare. And don't get me started on the lack of airbridges, given that the weather can be so bad in winter! We came back from Tenerife in March and had a 200 metre walk to a tunnel to get to passport control. It was cold and raining. This month we came back via Gatwick, so were effectively domestic customers. They set us down at a stand where entry into the airport was slap bang in the middle of the main departure lounge so we had to negotiate people carrying cups of coffee etc. after another walk through the rain. They have renovated domestic baggage reclaim so you now walk through the passage that was entry to security/ pre-security cafes (its now a building site) then walk another 300 metres to baggage reclaim, then about turn and walk back 200 metres to the exit. Does anyone ever think of the passenger experience? Also, with a poor percentage of direct international flights, i cannot see how Aberdeen can justify calling itself International. Whether it is landing charges or poor customer footfall,these issues need to be addressed, and maybe,the customer experience needs to be considered in an effort to increase passenger numbers. Before you ask I've flown big airports such as Gatwick, Heathrow S Diego, JFK etc etc, as well as smaller airports such as MIlan Malpensa, Brindisi, La Palma and El Hierro. Aberdeen needs to get it's act together

Good airport. I've never had any problems in the times I have flown out or back in. Friendly staff, no troublesome issues at all. I don't know why anyone would complain unless it's just their nature to have a moan.

Small, efficient, friendly. Excellent for business travelers. No hassle and no delays. Close to the city and, for tourists, a nice seascape.

After my debacle in Amsterdam, the kind people here did everything they could to help track down my miss placed carry on. Yes, that is right, the idiots in Amsterdam lost my carry on. Anyway, this is a very small airport. You can get in and out fast. Everybody that works here seems at least engaging. Which is often not the case in airports. Once you get through the gate, I think there is only one restaurant. Though outside the gate is a Wetherspoons owned pub. Which is pretty typical for that brand. Though at least they have a few cask beers, and fairly generic pub grub that is filling. There are always reasonably priced cabs waiting outside as well. The cab drivers are so friendly, and basically know how to get everywhere by heart. Just ask for recommendations on pubs and places to eat. They know it, the history, where it is, what to get. This place actually seems to work efficiently for an airport.
