My family and I flew from here to Palma, Mallorca, was absolutely fantastic experience. Airport wasn’t to busy when we flew out or when we came back. Price for food in the airport wasn’t to bad either. We flew with Tui and had a pleasant flight.

Airport is nice...car rentals are within walking distance...they try not to rent vehicles for Blacks it seems..We saw cars online, but they all had excuses..they we booked the car online ...and forced their hands to bring out the car we booked and paid for. Why is it a crime to be Black everywhere including Aberdeen, Scotland? Sad state of affairs.

This airport has raised its charges for pick up, short term parking and taxis to such an extent that it has now lost its social license to operate. The government needs to look at legislating to protect the public from an abusive monopoly, or alternatively taking ownership of the airport in order to provide a public service commensurate with the costs. It’s clear the airport has gone too far in recent times and has lost the support of the business community.

It's a small airport but decent with their services. Not too far from the city centre and there's always a couple of taxis outside and a bus that takes you into the city. There's a few shops & restaurants inside and it's well maintained. They do offer some international travel through here but the majority for domestic flights. The staff are all friendly and helpful. My only issue is that if you're waiting on taxis in late evenings, there's only a few that operate from the airport and there's typically long queues. We had to wait for over an hour.

For an allegedly International Airport it us now closed today for the second time in 7 days. First for a plane allegedly on the airport and took hours to get a tractor and remove causing numerous flights diverted. Today closed during some fog, pity radar hasn't come this far north.

Aberdeen airport is quite small for commercial flights (it's actually one of the busiest airports due to the heliport and offshore) but I quite enjoy using it due to how efficient it can be to get to airside and often times not as busy in security etc depending on when you travel. There is a 5.50 drop off charge for cars which is a bit of a con but i always get the 727 bus which takes you right up to the terminal since I don't drive anyways. It's 4.30 from union square. It's a small airport and the facilities aren't as varied as a larger airport but it's gotten far better in recent years. I remember when the only thing there was Costa it has improved alot.

This airport can be called the main hub for me. This time it was surprising that the investment was beneficial in the reconstruction and improvement of the equipment. Completely new Italian lines have been installed in the security control area, this is pleasing! now there is no need to take out any electronics from the backpack, everything is visible to them. The throughput in this area has increased significantly. Unfortunately, you cannot take pictures in this area - you will have to take their word for it, or fly to Aberdeen and see for yourself 😀

Small airport that could do with more routes. Don't really use ABZ airport as much (last used September '23) however when we do, we always appreciate how swiftly we get through security and how spacious the airport is. Occasionally fly to and from Dublin or London as it's a quick trip & always use the 727 bus to get in & out of the airport back into the city. One way they can improve this service would be if the dedicated Airport buses were similar to Edinburgh's Airport buses with the luggage storage, as it's a bit ridiculous to see passengers block off aisles/seats with luggage or luggages rolling all over the bus. If you do use the bus, give yourselves plenty of time because it annoyingly stops at least 2x by P&J before stopping at the airport. Staff we've encountered were courteous and were good craic. Bit strange to get off the airplane and go through the 'departure' area to then make your way through to get your luggage on the other side. There aren't many food choices available but there's still a handful of places to choose from.

Too expensive to park. Too expensive to drop-off. Now they want airport taxis to charge passengers an additional £7 and then pay this directly to the airport. Aberdeen airport has turned milking customers into an art form. Despite the fanfare about new security scanner many passenger’s bags, including mine were “randomly” selected for further inspection opening up the bags, taking almost everything out and then leaving everything scattered in the tray for the passenger to re-pack. Pointless speeding things through the new scanner only to hit a bottleneck at the end of the security checkpoint. Also this “random” selection is far from random. In about 9 out of 10 occasions I have passed through security, my bag has been “randomly “ selected. I am all for security but Aberdeen’s system needs a good shake-up.

Hand baggage restrictions have been reduced but the first time in probably 15 or more years that I actually carry some toiletries I get pulled over and searched. Won't be making that mistake again. Drop off charges are excessive and airport taxis are on strike because of a £7 fee per pick up that the airport want to apply. It's strange to have a company that actively hate their customers, but there you are ...

Update May 2024 Drop off charge up yet again to £5.50. Aberdeen Airport doesn't even warrant one star but sadly that is the lowest rating available. Update July 2023 Sadly had to drop my wife off at this rip off airport. Got to the barrier with my 5 £1 coins only to find legal tender wasn't accepted anymore. No indication that this had been introduced. Annoyed a few drivers behind me as I had to get my jacket out of the back of the car where my wallet was. What would have happened if I had not had my credit card with me is another matter. As a matter of interest, many people who pay using a mobile phone app. may be unaware that this would constitute an offence as it is illegal to use a mobile whilst the car engine is running. Maybe Aberdeen airport would care to comment how they can refuse to accept legal tender and how they can encourage drivers to break the law? One star rating is generous, if it were possible I would be suggesting a rating in the negative region. Update. Feb. 2023 Drop off price up to £5.00. Even more of a rip-off. Totally unjustifiable but the operators don't give a damn about their customers. Maybe they should learn the simple principle, look after your customers and they will look after you. The opposite of course is even more pertinent, without loyal customers you are heading for potential disaster. Original comment. Once described by the airport itself, with a sign over the entrance, as the most improved airport in Europe - obviously written by a comedian, and an extremely poor one at that. Given the current preoccupation with security (and rightly so) how can inbound passengers be allowed to walk through the area where departing passengers are waiting???? The biggest joke and con however must be the £4 charge for dropping someone off or picking them up. This is even more distasteful given the airport's assertion, when they introduced the charge, that it was being done to increase safety. Using this so called international airport is far from a pleasant experience. We will always choose, when flights allow, to drive the extra hour it takes us to get to Inverness where you will be assured a warm welcome and a far more pleasant transit.

This is the thing about the lounge: There is a fixed fee to get in. So revenue will be predictable. When it comes to cutting cost, this is where it gets interesting: - You arrive at a desk behind which is a wall of very qualitative drinks. They're not yours, they come an extra charge. Only after paying, you find out you're only allowed access to drinks you could have only been enthousiastic about in puberty. - Access is behind the baggage check-in, so if the flight is not delayed, you can stay only 1,5 hours. The lounge is advertised to be accessible for 3 hours. Misleading advertising? - Gate check-in is non-flexible, so if the plane lands 5 mins before normal check-in time (the people on board need to clean the plane and get it ready, not to be ignored), they make you go through check-in and wait without anywhere to sit. But you have to leave the paid lounge though, so no more getting perks you paid for. - You get to drink 6 drinks (alcoholic) max. No problem, if it were advertised. It's not, therefore misleading advertising.

Compared to other International airports in neighbouring countries it is quite backwards. Security is unnecessarily tedious given that the new state of the art baggage scanners are no longer working. Business Lounge closes at 1800 yet there are flights departing up until 2100. When checking in hold luggage, you are not allowed to put the small barcode stickers from main bag tag onto luggage. These help identify luggage after check in personnel have put label around both handles and then the baggage handlers rip them off by picking up bags by one handle and parting the tag. It's the only airport that does not allow use of the stickers 'due to security reasons.' So out of touch with modern airports. Cannot check in earlier than 2 hours before flight because the luggage area has minimal capacity allegedly. Taxis. Hit and miss if there are any overpriced cabs available at same time as a full Amsterdam flight has landed. Be prepared to miss any planned rail connections. If you are hapless enough to use the self service check-in, be prepared then to queue up with those that were smart enough not to use the self service check-in because it is th only way to check your bags in. Unlike for example Bergen or Stavanger that have designated self service baggage drop points. Drop off charges are a rip off. £5.50 on top of taxi fare to use the airport drop off so that you can then be overcharged for food and drinks, on top of your flight costs. It's like being penalized for using the airport. Aberdeen Airport portrays itself as an International Airport but the overall experience just does not match up. It needs new management with a more customer service based approach.

Not my favourite airport. Barely offers a variety of destinations to connect with long haul. Paris was a better connection than either Heathrow or Amsterdam. Whether International or Domestic, what a time it takes for bags to arrive at the reclaim. I am led to believe that the baggage handlers sometimes load the outbound flight before bringing in arriving flights bags. Shortage of personnel, bad practices. Cannot confirm this, but, something is not right. Security at any time seems well managed and processing very timely.

Downside was I'm not sure how long the hot food had been out, but at least there was some, and it was hot. Another downside was I had to pay for my Whisky. It was subsidised however, and wasn't a cheap one so £2.50 I thought was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend and go back to.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Scottish breakfast at the Pavilion Cafe in Aberdeen, located right on the Esplanade. I have to say, it was superb! Everything from the bacon and sausage to the black pudding was delicious. But the food was only part of the excellent experience. The service was incredibly fast, and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere of the cafe was also lovely - it was bright, airy, and had a really nice buzz about it. Overall, I would highly recommend the Pavilion Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast in Aberdeen. The combination of fantastic food, quick service, friendly staff, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a real winner.
