Inverness Airport lies at Dalcross, on the shores of the Moray Firth, east of the city: it is the gateway to the Highlands. From here Loch Ness, the Culloden battlefield, the Isle of Skye and the North Coast 500, the scenic road around the north of Scotland, are all within easy reach. It has domestic flights, services to Orkney, Shetland and the Hebrides, and a few European links.

Getting to the city
- Bus: the Inverness service reaches the centre in about 25-30 minutes.
- Train: since 2023 there has been an Inverness Airport station, reached by a short shuttle, on the Inverness-Aberdeen line.
- Car hire: the most practical way to explore the Highlands; book early in summer.
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.
