Should you not be able to make one of the Loganair flights though, there are also plenty of indirect routes you can take.

Whilst it doesn’t tend to be cheaper to get an indirect flight, it won’t cost much more and may depart or arrive at a more convenient time for you.

Whilst you can fly directly between these two great locations, it may be that an indirect flight is more convenient for you due to the time it leaves Manchester or arrives into Aberdeen. If you take an indirect flight, then you will be required to change at an airport on your journey. One popular layover location, due to the price of the tickets tending to be lower, is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), which has a transfer time of about 1h 20min to 2h 40min; that makes this a great option for indirect flights. Another common layover location is London Heathrow Airport, which is often considered one of the faster locations to transfer at, with stops being about 1h; Although, Heathrow also has the longest transfer time on this route too, which is about 3h 10min.

You will not need a visa to travel to Aberdeen from Manchester. You will need to ensure you have photo ID for the flight though, with a passport always being recommended.
