khitajrah Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Does anyone know how long it takes to get from the Aberdeen airport to the ferry? For example, if an international flight arrives at 4:30pm is there sufficient time to get the ferry at 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayhaa Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 yes - it takes about 30-45 minutes to get into the centre of aberdeen via car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFusion Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 should be no problem, the bus takes about 55 minutes http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/scotland/nescot/timetables/timetable.php?day=1&source_id=2&service=27&routeid=876081&operator=19&source=sp first bus after that flight would be 16:55 I think taxi is faster but waaaay more expensive..

khitajrah Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks I shall let my father know. Um, which street would he get off on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I recommend that he only gets off and not off on as this will result in him being lost. IIRC some/most of the buses head towards the bus station (Guild St?) which is around the corner from the Ferry (10 min walk) Go from Point A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Something I've yet to try, but the train from Dyce only takes about 10 minutes to get in to the Aberdeen station which is not far from the ferry. You would presumably need to get a taxi from the airport to Dyce station though, as i'm not aware of any buses running there. It would save crawling along that road into Aberdeen at snails pace in the rush hour. Check the scotrail timetable for times if you wanna try it.

MJ Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 trains to/from dyce are very infrequent. Avoid firstbus as their buses are more expensive and slower from the Airport. Stagecoach are cheaper and more frequent, usually more comfortable too. But do check it's going to the city before you get on. All airport buses going into aberdeen stop at guild st, most (but not all) go to or near the hospital (the one that doesn't stops near AU). Cut through shopping centre to the TK MAX carpark. The traffic lights there are the nightmare ones to jamieson's quay. It's just a straight line (ish) fae there. DO NOT IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY CATCH THE 16.55. It's packed and slow, made worse by the rush hour and it's insistance of taking the grand tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the train from the City to the Airport, and was very impressed, ten mins then there is a five min feeder bus from station to Airport, think it meets every train arriving and departing. http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/scotland/nescot/timetables/timetable.php?day=1&source_id=2&service=80&routeid=876151&operator=19&source=sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peerie Tr00ker Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 i would check train times from dyce first. i just missed one by seconds and the next one was an hours wait in the pouring rain. it is very quick though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peerie Tr00ker Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 http://www.scotrail.co.uk/ i'd use this website to see if the flights fit in with the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Uh this is the right place for me. We're going to take the saturday ferry from Aberdeen but want to park our car at Aberdeen airport. We'll be 6 with quite a lot of luggage. Is there enough space in the bus or is it better to take the train? But we don't really fancy taking a cab to the train station. so what do you reckon is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The bus from the airport is quite cheap and your bags can go in the hold. Short walk from bus/train station to the ferry; just around the corner basically and along the road a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't park your car at the airports car park, stick it in one of the car parks at the other side of the airport, much cheaper. Taking the bus makes more sense than the train even though they stop at more or less the same spot in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well I've booked the cheap car park at the airport. £35 for the week that's not bad. That's what I pay for 2 days in Manchester.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
