Kate MelehovaOctober 19, 2014Prepare for reaaallly looooong lines! Better arrive in advance so that you won't miss your flight
If you're going to park, book in advance - it's much cheaper!
Early morning (7am) security queues were a breeze. The transit vehicle slows down your connection to the gate
Attila GyörffyMay 30, 2012If you need to get to either Liverpool Street or Stratford, there's not only the National Express coach but Terravision too that tends to be cheaper.
Good No. 1 Traveller Lounge but be careful as enormous challenge if your plane's gate isn't in that part of the airport
marta bartosiewiczJanuary 2, 2015Arrive early, queues are unbelievable. Busy airport, we couldn't find place to sit.
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.
Panos MeyerDecember 19, 20125£ for fast lane, no matter which status you got. There is always something, when you travelling :)
HaspokSeptember 8, 2014Fastest and cheapest way from/to Liverpool Street station is Terravision buses.
Go to the right side @passport checkpoint , new self check fast and easy :)
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.
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?"
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.
Wout LabanOctober 8, 2013The medium coffee at Costca would be considered a bowl of soup in many countries!
Kanna NJune 19, 2011Come early, especially during the school holidays otherwise you'll have to fight a massive school group to the check in desk.
David CuestaOctober 11, 2014Enter in the country is horrible, I've spend almost 2 hours to get out of the airport and be seated in the bus direction to London, landed at 13,30 I reached Baker Street at 16,45, please do something
Although a certain airline doesn't make it very clear, check "which" Düsseldorf you're flying to. Air Berlin does the main one. The other airline doesn't and also flys at -+ the same time! Careful!!
EuniJune 17, 2017This airport is literally a luxury mall with terminals and a security gate check! Free wifi though
Coast to Coast has a worth breakfast for early morning travellers 😉
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'.
Vlad RusuApril 5, 2015It was nice, but it lasted an eternity to get to pick my baggage, so you shouldn't go there on Sundays
Joseph PurseNovember 25, 2013Jesus Christ stanstead has gone from 15 minutes free parking to 2 quid just to be set down within two months - a bloody disgrace
Vasilis ThemelisFebruary 11, 2018The cheapest bottle of water I found was at Prêt à Manger for £1/ 0.5L
Refuse the X-Ray Body Scanner machines - they are an invasion of your space and will likely give you cancer
Robert ConnDecember 5, 2012Calling the Stansted train an "Express" is false advertising. It tends to stop at every hole in the hedge.
Ed GroenhartApril 27, 2017Phone charging in departures, near Ted Baker, sockets a bit loose for usb though.
Merve A.March 31, 2015Security checks take ages. There are M&S, a small shop and Costa before security check, and few restaurants near the gates.
Alia Anne Surtees JenkinsDecember 6, 2014There is a socket to charge next to check in E. Right behind where they keep the wheelchairs
moko anggoroDecember 20, 2014My only complaint is that its located so far from London city. Other than that, its okay.
Ivana MaksimovićOctober 15, 2016Too long queues for non EU citizens at passport control. Otherwise nice airport. There is good exchange office with many many currencies right after passport control.
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
Jan TjeJanuary 27, 2013Don't be tempted by a warm meal, drear clear of Burger King at five in the am happy flying!
Security at Departues takes an age. Get through early! (Least 30mins before boarding)
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.
Steph WNovember 5, 2014There were free plastic bags for liquids and gels when I was passing through security. 20cm x 20cm sized.
If you are picking up, check out the •free• one hour parking . The short stay are hugely expensive!
UglyCookJanuary 1, 2015It's unbelievable how a airport that looks modern have staff incredibly lost and so unorganized.. Never seen so much security scrutiny...

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."
