Carolina RinaldiMay 20, 2014Welcome to Stansted Airport. Been flying for 1 and a half hours? Prepare to double that at passport controls. Happy journey home.
Good No. 1 Traveller Lounge but be careful as enormous challenge if your plane's gate isn't in that part of the airport
Nathalie De ClercqSeptember 21, 2013Easyjet and some other low cost airlines are allowed to 'push off early'... Up to fifteen minutes BEFORE the official take off time. Ridiculous. Get there early.
There are two No 1 lounges at Stansted. One by gate 74 which is a good 15 min walk from the main terminal and one at satellite 1 for gates 11 through 19. The second is much nicer.
EuniJune 17, 2017This airport is literally a luxury mall with terminals and a security gate check! Free wifi though
Don knock Stansted. Travel weekly from here and compared to Heathrow it is easily the best London airport. Although if anyone works in border control can you sort that out as it manned by numskulls
James AJuly 29, 2011Best internet is with spectrum: 10 £ for the day and they have wall chargers free. Staff is also super nice
moko anggoroDecember 20, 2014My only complaint is that its located so far from London city. Other than that, its okay.
HaspokSeptember 8, 2014Nearly all shops and restaurants in the passenger hall are closed due to refurbishment. (2014 Sept)
Good Airport just because 40 minutes from us BUT. Expensive car parking/dropping Tonight Dirty toilets. Only Burger King for any hot drinks.
Jeremy ParsonsOctober 23, 2011If you're heading on to the M11, the services off the roundabout include a small Waitrose: perfect if you're heading back to an empty fridge!
Edward NunnJune 6, 2012Buy bottled water from Pret- it's much cheaper than WHSmith as they don't hike their prices.- Going through security can take anywhere between 10 and 60 minutes.
Andrew LeckieMay 4, 2013Imagine if you rounded up all the stupidest people in Britain, herded them into one giant hall, then told them to be as rude and inconsiderate to each other as possible .Welcome to Stansted.
👉Alex Peña👈July 23, 2014The English are ridiculously serious about small liquids. I wish they still had their famous punctuality which they don't anymore.
Smajlik100March 8, 2019Volvic stands with honest payment one pound is the cheapest water on the airport.
petter warnsbergJune 19, 2011Pre-book your Taxi out of here. One Taxi company got the monopoly and the arrogant booking agent seemed very please with how much more expense they are "of course we are, so?"
John NewburyJuly 11, 2011Always drive right to the end of the Red Car Park- there are normally spaces next to the main terminal building.
Kate MelehovaOctober 19, 2014Prepare for reaaallly looooong lines! Better arrive in advance so that you won't miss your flight
After leaving the train go the e-passport checking row it might be faster than the regular ID control.
The departure check in is horrendous. Forget the sign pay give pounds for express check in and breeze right through the line of staff
Laura ComanJune 13, 2014Avoid this airport if you can. So busy with no room to move or to find a seat. Speedy through security but the departures area needs way more room for the amount of people flooding through.

This place looks like a post-apocalyptic refugee centre with absolutely no place to sit or sleep, poor restaurant choices and no sockets or wi-fi for public!Beware the gates of RyanAir hell lay here!
The security people are really into the liquids-inda-plastic-bag thing so if you forgot your toothpaste in your suitcase prepare to waste 20'.
David RodriguezMay 2, 2013Quite nice airport. A bit far from London. Expect dense traffic if you go by road.
Stefan HübnerAugust 7, 2015Cheapest option to get here is with National Express. 10£ from Liverpool Street Station.
Freddie DaniellsJanuary 19, 2013Efficient service at STN airport and yet another on time flight with Ryanair (despite the snow)! What's not to love.
Over crowded airport. The ladies toilet is misplaced right next to arrival, it is dirty and not modern. Not suitable for elderly people or people with temper. Uncomfortable benches.
One day Stansted will be an airport of the 1st world and we will have a way to keep in transit inside Schengen space!!
Alia Anne Surtees JenkinsDecember 6, 2014There is a socket to charge next to check in E. Right behind where they keep the wheelchairs
Rob KniazMarch 28, 2010If non-EU passport and flying Ryanair you must visit the visa check desk or you WILL be denied boarding. No exceptions.
@WineAlchemy1December 12, 2016Pay a fiver for security fast line on a busy Monday morning and reduce your stress level
Wout LabanOctober 8, 2013The medium coffee at Costca would be considered a bowl of soup in many countries!- Fundació MiesJuly 25, 2014Winner of European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award 1990.
Arrivals: UK border checks take forever and it is always packed. Add at least 30 mins to your journey to take this into account.
Sam GreenlandMay 16, 20121 thing to print/printer won't accept coins? It's cheaper to pay a quid for the computers next to the printer, then just £1 for the print. Assuming its only one page you're printing...
Airport is extremly overloaded. All the time. Queues are everywhere included toilets. You should be very patience
Gillian HastingsJuly 24, 2011Arrive at least 30 mins ahead of what you think you need. Security unbelievably slow. BAA duty free shops must suffer as a result. You would think management would deal with this passenger experience!- If the queues at security are are scarily long, there's a queue-jumping fasttrack option which costs £5.
