The main airlines that operate flights to Aberdeen are easyJet, FlyBE and British Airways. Although there aren’t dozens of different airlines offering cheap flights to Aberdeen, you can still find competitive prices on flight tickets. British Airways are generally slightly more expensive but they do provide a good level of comfort and complimentary snacks and drinks through the flight. On the other hand easyJet normally provide cheap flight tickets for a slightly lower standard of comfort.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?
The airport is around 11km North-West of the centre, making transport rather easy to get there. First Aberdeen and Stagecoach Bluebird both provide buses from the airport to the city at a cheap price, they do run less frequently at night and on weekends so it’s best to check their timetables online first before you depart. There is a train you can get too but you’ll need to jump in a taxi first to get there, or you could just get a taxi to the city centre from outside the airport, although this will be more expensive than the alternatives. You could opt to rent a car too which is a great idea if you plan on visiting the surrounding areas of Scotland whilst you are on your holiday.
