One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to the ferry check-in at the harbour, Dyce to an office off Union Street, or a West End guest house to the airport for the first flight south. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from Dyce to a hotel by the harbour when a project week begins, then back to the terminal for the Friday flight home, or from the airport to a West End guest house and out again after a family visit. In the week of SPE Offshore Europe, cars in the city go early. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at ABZ, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Aberdeen International Airport to Aberdeen: Route and Drive Time

Aberdeen International Airport stands at Dyce, on the north-western side of the city, and the drive from the terminal into the centre of Aberdeen is 6 miles, normally 25–35 minutes. With the airport this close, the hour of your landing matters more than the distance.

Where the ride ends depends on why you came. Union Street is the main line of the granite centre, the harbour opens just south of it, and the railway station sits next to the Union Square shopping centre. Travellers with a ferry booked to Orkney or Shetland go on to the NorthLink terminal at the harbour, about 7 miles from the airport, 30–40 minutes.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. In the booking, give your flight number and the exact street address, or the name of the ferry terminal if you are sailing on the same day.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Aberdeen International Airport

Scheduled flights at Aberdeen use one passenger terminal, served by Loganair, British Airways and KLM among others; helicopter flights for the offshore industry run from a separate heliport area. In 2025 the airport handled about 2.30 million passengers.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Overseas visitors can reach Dyce through Amsterdam on KLM. If the first leg runs late, your landing in Aberdeen moves, and the pick-up moves with it. The Jet 727 bus also links the terminal with Union Square in about 30–35 minutes, while a car is matched to the people and bags you list in the booking.

Arriving at Your Address in Aberdeen

Aberdeen lies where the Dee and the Don meet the North Sea, and much of the centre is built of grey granite. Energy-company offices, hotels and restaurants gather along and around Union Street, and the West End has hotels and guest houses of its own.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. That matters most when your destination is an office in a business park or a berth at the harbour rather than a hotel.

Not every arrival heads into town. The Stoneywood arena and exhibition hall P&J Live is a few minutes from the terminal, with two hotels on site, so a delegate landing early can check in and walk to the halls before the first session.

From Aberdeen Back to Aberdeen International Airport

Going back, think in drive time, not clock time: 25–35 minutes from the centre on an ordinary day, longer when commuters are heading out to the offices near Dyce. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

All scheduled flights leave from the same building, so the car pulls in at one terminal whichever airline you fly.

Two dates in 2027 call for extra margin. In spring, whisky visitors arrive for the Spirit of Speyside festival, 28 April to 3 May. SPE Offshore Europe then fills P&J Live, next to the airport, from 7 to 9 September 2027; if your flight home leaves during the exhibition, allow more time, as the venue and the terminal are neighbours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

How far is Aberdeen city centre from Aberdeen Airport?

Expect 6 miles and normally 25–35 minutes by car between Dyce and the city centre, a little longer in the morning rush. The booking needs your flight number and the full street address.

My connection through Amsterdam is running late. What happens to the pick-up?

A delay on the first leg moves your landing at Dyce, and the pick-up moves with it: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Give the flight number when booking so the right arrival is followed.

Which part of Aberdeen Airport is the meeting point?

At the passenger terminal, the one building used by all scheduled flights. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

What is the Low Emission Zone in Aberdeen?

It is an area of the city centre where cameras have enforced emission standards since 1 June 2024. Scottish zones work by exclusion, not payment: a vehicle that misses the standard is not allowed in, and penalties are issued for entries. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

Can an offshore crew travel together with all its kit bags?

Yes, provided the vehicle fits the party: a coach seats up to 56, and a Sprinter van suits twelve or fewer. Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for golf bags, bikes or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load.

What do you need to know about Aberdeen International Airport in 2026–2027?

easyJet's new Belfast International route from Aberdeen begins on 4 January 2027. Aberdeen's visitor levy, a tax on overnight accommodation, will start on 1 April 2027 at the earliest; the council had not fixed a date by October 2026. SPE Offshore Europe comes back to P&J Live, beside the airport, on 7–9 September 2027.
