Bureau de change will rip you off if you exchange anything but GBP to something to else. Payed 30 euros extra on a 100 euro transaction! Avoid.
Very very slow security. Give yourself 30 minutes to get through this at least
Gareth MorrisMarch 15, 2012Try and avoid this airport if at all possible. Pretty much hell on earth. Ryanair is the mouldy icing on the cake.
AgnieszkaAugust 7, 2014So crowded and the customs queue just ridiculous :/ at least the sign system is ok, hard to get lost
flying Ryan air is like taking a coach. you go a to b. don't expect customer service
Use this place as a last resort. If you have young children, they will hate you for coming here.- Nathen McVittieNovember 24, 2010No seats close to security to put shoes back on. Leaves you walking 20meters in your socks.
It takes more time to go through passport control than fly anywhere in Europe. Ridiculous
Security is the slowest ever. Allow 30mins total to reach gate 39 (ryanair barcelona)
Voda CJuly 9, 2017Worst London airport. Avoid if possible. Dirty, away from London and not convenient to go to .
Lauren DOctober 9, 2012Far from Central London. Especially when to miss the last tubes due to SLOW immigration control :/
CameronJanuary 3, 2023There is absolutely NOTHING good to say about this airport. Worst of the worst. Avoid at all costs
Least favourite London airport. Nonsensical layout, seems to be forever under construction, journeying to London EC/N1 is more pleasant from City Airport & Gatwick
Worst airport I've ever been to. Not enough seats, everything under construction, no outlets anywhere.
Jing LeungAugust 25, 2014Avoid. Stansted express is expensive and slow. Security line is so wide there's basically no real line. Unclear signage.
Avoid carrying bombs in your luggage they tend not to like it at security check.
Bet you could have got a better price & generally nicer cab ride with us! Free Wi-Fi & complimentary water too :) Prebook your return trip online www.cab4one.me Have a good flight.

Lisette 
"You can get shuttles here to the nearby hotels like the Premier Inn and the Holiday Inn. They tend to go every half hour. The to get to then you will have to go underground from the airport."
