Might feel like a giant duty free shop with an airport attached to it. Worth exploring security lines to find the shortest; furthest left was out the door, furthest right had no queue at all.
This may be a shitty airport with very little internet, but the people at the DISABLED ASSISTANCE are AMAZING. They have gone out of their way to help me in all ways!!! (and I'm not disabled)
Gourmet Hot Dog in the main concourse is the least Gourmet experience I have ever had. Served up a cold sausage and when I asked for a hot one the guy picked it up with his fingers and offered it.
Try Stansteds official parking website to bookparking in short term Orange. Costs about £10-15 more than long term but so convenient and no wait at all to get out of the airport.
What a totally ridiculous new layout. Winding lane of shops to go through just after security. People stopping and tripping over each other. You should have left it as it was!
Nice airport! Costa coffe open all night! It is good if you need to wait your plane early in the morning. If you get here early you can find a comfortable seat!
Don't go straight to the wetherspoons for breakfast... Walk to the right of it through a corridor and you find the Bridgebar and restaurant. Much nicer and much quieter.
The Illustrius bar is in a quiet place, near gate 44. They serve a pretty decent Guinness. Recommended if you want to escape from the noise of the central hall, after security check.
Be sure to leave extra time to get through security. Liquids 100mls and less must be placed in a 20cmx20cm resealable bag and kept out of your bag separately.
Def. take the national express buses, and not the ones by Terravision. NE has free WIFI and nice personnel while TV just keeps messing it up, and is unapologetic. Missing appointments because of them
We landed on time and immigration was fast but we had to wait 55 minutes to know on which belt our Baggage will come. That is disappointing at nice airports like Stansted.
As of August 2014, security is much improved & queues are much shorter. Plus you can be dropped off and picked up outside the terminal, rather than downstairs
Dropping people off by car? Follow signs for express set down, then you pay £2 at the exit. There's a change machine but you can pay by card! Free set down is at a car park a short free bus ride away
Very crowdy place so after landing always think about 1-2 hours of waiting at passport control. use self service terminals on the left if you have biometric passport
O aeroporto é bom, mas fica bem afastado da cidade, são uns 40 minutos até Stratford, e depois ainda tem que pegar metrô ou ônibus pra chegar ao centro de Londres.
Still a largely unpleasant flying experience from Stansted. Parking is expensive and everyone is squeezed into one terminal, when busy involves queues and most expense. No fun really.
This is a modern quite simple functional airport. Right now is undergoing through some renovations so the main waiting area is very crowded so i advise to buy whatever yo have to buy and go directly
The airport is way too crowded, queues for controls are too long . Duty free is awesome, there's definitely all you need . Free toilets, free (slow) wifi .
When you foolishly forget to print your boarding pass again & Ryanair is demanding your first born child; head down to isle A and print it for £1 per hour & £1 per page at the computer kiosk.
This airport is not so good ! Only 1 hr. wifi! There are many people sleeping there but they can't sleep because there are no chairs or place to sit! The cheapest way to go to the center is easybus!
If you like shopping, this is great. But plan in enough time to go to gates as you are guided along all shops, wasting a lot of time #stansted#inefficient#
