Aberdeen Airport lies at Dyce, north-west of the granite city, Britain's North Sea oil capital. It has one of the world's largest commercial heliports, linking the mainland to offshore platforms. For visitors it is the ideal arrival point for the castles of Aberdeenshire, the Dee valley with Balmoral and the Speyside distilleries, and it also serves Orkney and Shetland.

Practical tips
- Documents: most visitors need a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for before departure (see documents and ETA).
- Drop-off and pick-up: almost every UK airport charges even for a short stop outside the terminal; pre-booked car parks are cheaper.
- Security: rules on liquids and laptops in hand luggage depend on each airport's scanners; check the official website before you travel.
- Payments: contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on trains and buses.
