When flying to the Scottish city of Aberdeen, United Kingdom, from New Zealand, you will be making use of the largest airport in the country, Auckland Airport (AKL). The flight is a long one and will involve either two or three stops, depending on when you book and with which airline. Durations on Aberdeen flight deals can range from approximately 30h to 60h. Book well in advance to reduce flying time substantially.
Unfortunately, due to the distance of this journey, there are no direct flights to Aberdeen from any New Zealand-based airport. From Auckland Airport, Auckland, to Aberdeen, you can get two-stop flight deals through Singapore Airlines and KLM, which see you stopping in Singapore and Amsterdam for about 3h in each city; the total flight time averages about 31h. These two airlines offer several great Aberdeen flight deals to choose from on a regular basis. Another flight choice is with Emirates Airlines and Loganair, who take you via Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Manchester, with short stops of under 3h in each city before you reach your final destination of Aberdeen Airport (ABZ), Aberdeen.
The city of Aberdeen is quite close to the airport, and you can reach it in a variety of ways. There are taxis available outside the Arrivals terminal, or they can be booked inside the airport at the ComCab booking office. This is a great option if your flight arrives late at night, as they are available 24/7. There is also the First Aberdeen city bus and the Stagecoach Bluebird 616 bus that run from the airport to the city regularly throughout the day. Evenings and weekends have less frequent hours, so take this into account when planning your route to the city. If you would like to catch the train, you can reach Dyce Station with a short taxi drive from the airport before catching the train into the city. This is actually the fastest way to reach the city but does involve two forms of transportation.
Aberdeen is known as ‘the flower of Scotland’ due to its vast amount of parks and lush greenery. A beautiful city with Medieval roots, it boasts heritage, arts and culture and loads of fun activities. It also has two miles of beaches to explore. Visit His Majesty’s Theatre and catch some top-class orchestras or concerts, and with some of the top-rated golf courses in the UK, you can enjoy superb golfing too. The 14th-century St Machar’s Cathedral is a testament to stunning architecture, and Aberdeen Art Gallery (from 1884) still stands proud, filled with artworks ranging from the 17th to 20th century. Aberdeen is also known as a city that holds the record number of whisky distilleries, making world-class Scottish whisky part of its heritage.
New Zealand citizens will luckily not require a visa for their Aberdeen flight deals; you will need your valid passport to fly though. It is always best to check with your local embassy to clarify if you are unsure.
Aberdeen Dyce (ABZ), located 8.6 km from the city centre, is the airport you fly into when you book flights to Aberdeen.
