I swear to got England is the only country in Europe that enforces that stupid rule for one little plastic bag of liquids. The staff are all rude in everything but duty free.
Sigrún ÓlafsdóttirDecember 2, 2011if travelling with easyjet and carrying a guitar. bring it in a soft case and you get to take it free of charge in hand luggage
Just do like you're told and don't mess up, and you'll have a fantastic journey with Ryanair!
Katarína DedinskáSeptember 16, 2016You are lucky if you manage to find working socket to charge your devices. Loads of them bot not even one worked. Low-cost airport but quite busy
Jack JenkinsOctober 6, 2015Cramped and busy airport, everyone on top of each other. Too many shops. Don't expect to have a fun time. The reprieve is one hour of free wifi. I long for a real airport such as LHR
Eva K. SalviApril 21, 2010If you sit in the waiting area after going through security, you can now get free Internet access. Definitely a step forward considering few airports offer this facility!
Nigel O' CallaghanFebruary 15, 2011If you're not in too much of a rush, check out the stansted express bus service rather than the train. It's very punctual, takes 40-60 mins depending on traffic and is only 15 pounds return!
Nice, cosy airport. Everything always goes smooth.
Simone PiunnoMarch 23, 2012On arrival a guy took my cabin bag instead of his. I had to run after him all the way up the queue of passengers. I'm so glad the border control is so far away from the gate....
Doni BlagojevicNovember 18, 2015Actually WiFi is free and unlimited. A bit crowded but no big complaints
Cracking wetherspoons after the zoo of duty free stores- Don't take Terravision Coach. Pay couple of pounds more for National Express and save yourself some stress (and in my case £110 for missed flight)
Prepare for long queues. Be here early, especially since ground transportation is not the most reliable.
Early morning (7am) security queues were a breeze. The transit vehicle slows down your connection to the gate

Coast to Coast has a worth breakfast for early morning travellers 😉
If only there was another way to get there £19 for the express is really expensive. Bus from Stratford does not garantie you to have a place when it's busy. Even if you have a ticket.
Not so comfortable place. But if you lije comfort,why don't you pay 500£ and fly from Heatrow? ) because Ryanair is cheap. So just "enjoy" this 4hrs :)
Henna PatelJune 28, 2017Head to Pret for vegan food - there is normally at least one sandwich/wrap and one salad
Although ‘Glorious Britain’ provides sufficient, it is more a souvenirs shop.
Mark HenwoodFebruary 5, 2016On crummy Vodafone and without signal in departures? There are dribbles of 4G available by the shuttle trains behind the Windmill (Wetherspoons)
Panos MeyerDecember 19, 20125£ for fast lane, no matter which status you got. There is always something, when you travelling :)
Vasilis ThemelisFebruary 11, 2018The cheapest bottle of water I found was at Prêt à Manger for £1/ 0.5L
The water refill station has been moved and is now near the toilets in the main departures area
idlebergAugust 28, 2011Contrary to what Ryan Air claims, bus tickets are cheaper at the airport. When headed for Liverpool Street, you can also travel on the Terravision coach.
It is better than Luton Airport, some cafes and shopping available in the airport.
1 hour of free WiFi avaliable. And if you need to charge your phone/laptop/netbook/etc there are sockets and charging points throughout all the airside.
It is a mall where some planes land and depart
Pedro SilvaDecember 18, 2014Flying in from EU and connecting to another flight? Don't forget you will have to go through the border again (plan ahead with time to go through security)
If you're going from gates 1-19, get on at the end of the transit train, not the front. It will save you time when you get off at the station.
Marielle CoronaSeptember 17, 2013If you need to charge your phone there's a charging booth right outside of the American Apparel store.
Now again, the 20x20 plastic bags for toiletries in your hand luggage is available for free.
Victoria RedshawOctober 30, 2013The queues for security are incredibly long and are staffed by unfriendly, unsmiling individuals. I will be travelling to Heathrow in order to fly next time, thank goodness.
When going through security don't for the love of God get stuck behind a group of Spanish school kids :)
Erik BrockwellOctober 23, 2014Save 20-30 min by using the e-passport line. Watch out for competing bus and train companies scattered through the airport.
Robert ConnDecember 5, 2012Calling the Stansted train an "Express" is false advertising. It tends to stop at every hole in the hedge.
Busy airport always q at passport skip the e password and go for the normal q
Sarah KertonOctober 28, 2014Make sure you visit the visa desk if you are flying Ryanair or they kick off at the gate.
Andru KeelOctober 28, 2012Big love for the automatic passport control for chipped passports! Straight thru nice n easy!
Its OK....not a nice looking airport but does the job and close to Cambridge
UglyCookJanuary 1, 2015It's unbelievable how a airport that looks modern have staff incredibly lost and so unorganized.. Never seen so much security scrutiny...
Erin Travel With BenderNovember 16, 2013Easyjet is far worse then RyanAir. Be ware of security all laptops and cables are thoroughly checked. Security stole my vegemite... They know its better then marmite. Travelwithbender.com
Internet works great near burger king and leon plus there are less people here :)
Since the refurbrishment started, the whole airport is dark, overcrowded and has lack of seats. Hope it ends soon.
Be warned! The transit is one way. If you get to the wrong one the only way back is by official rescue vehicle... If your not sure of your gate then use the lounge by gate 74!
