Aberdeen International Airport - ABZ

Aberdeen International Airport lies in the suburb of Dyce, around 10km north-west of the city centre. The airport serves as a base for Eastern Airways, Flybe, Flybmi and Loganair flights.

There's one main passenger terminal with two floors: 

• Ground floor: Most of the facilities are here. Check-in is on the left-hand side of the concourse and Arrivals on the right-hand side.
• First floor: Departures.

Shopping and eating facilities are limited. Before security, there are several coffee shops and a WHSmith shop. After security, there's a small duty-free shop, WHSmith, Boots the chemist and electrical shop, Dixons. There are very limited facilities near Gates 6-10 so it's best to shop before you go to your gate.

Terminal opening hours are 03:30 - last flight  

Connections to the city aren't great, with no train station in the airport. Alternatively, the bus is cheap, direct and fairly regular.
