Driving to Aberdeen airport

The airport is just seven miles from Aberdeen city centre, and just off the A69 Aberdeen-Inverness road. As there are several different routes in, you'll need to know where you're heading before you arrive. Depending on the city nearest to your starting point, one of these routes will be the easiest:

Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh - Head for Perth, then take the A90 following the signs for Aberdeen. Turn left onto Forfar Road/A90 when signposted, and follow the A90 all the way through Aberdeen until you're directed left onto the A96. At the second roundabout, take the third exit onto Dyce Drive - it'll be signposted for the airport.
Dundee - Again, follow the A90 until the turn for the A96. You can take exactly the same route as above, and as you're starting from a little closer to the airport it won't take as long.
Inverness - Take the A96 towards Aberdeen and keep following it, turning off at Dyce Drive when you see signs for the airport. It's that simple.

With all routes leading to the same entrance, Aberdeen airport isn't hard to find. If you've got a sat nav with you, pop the airport's postcode in: it's AB21 7DU. There's only one terminal that you need to get to, so you won't run the risk of ending up outside the wrong one.
