The Reds take on Macedonian side Shkendija in the first qualifying round this week but McInnes isn't phased by the long journey at the beginning of July.
On the contrary, McInnes spoke several weeks ago about how much he welcomes the early start that the European football qualifiers bring – and that the players are chomping at the bit, too.
He said: "We'll try to have a good go in Europe and we know you have to be properly prepared for it and ready for it, which is probably the thing that goes against most Scottish clubs.
"The players enjoyed the European campaign last season, as did the supporters and it's exciting that we've got that again.
"I like the fact that you have to move quickly especially in between rounds. When the draw is made you've only got 10 days to prepare for the games, find out about the opposition and then have to take a more measured approach at times and deploy a bit more tactical awareness because of the unknown quantity of the opposition.
"I don't think Scottish football's too far away from European football. More teams are trying to play the game the right way, up and down the leagues. We're not the best at it, but we're trying and there are good coaches in Scotland trying to get their teams playing the right way.
"What we have at Aberdeen is a confident dressing room; players who believe in themselves."
