Phil VincentSeptember 30, 2010Great food at Yam Yam. Also boots has a cheap meal deal if you don't fancy spending much.
There are now charging points throughout the departure lounge!
2 years ago it was like crap... Now it is a good airport but not near London... 8 pounds and 1 hour to get there...
MarcMay 7, 2019No oyster card allowed from London to Stansted. Not enough warning from TFL if you want my opinion...
Avoid parking in the 15 min car park unless you are happy to drive round every 10 mins or so... 45 mins parking just cost over £30
Cliff HazellMay 1, 2019Leave time to get past the hordes, in what seems to be intentionally designed as a Labyrinth. Really bad layout
Nata ChAugust 16, 2022By far, THE worst airport ever. Buy fast track! Or better choose another airport…
Simon HallAugust 28, 2010Water is an absolute rip off everywhere +£1.69 a bottle) but there's free drinking water taps by the toilets by gate 46 and in arrivals luggage collection hall. There should be more of them!
Catherine ZApril 26, 2014The only airport that has ever made me bag my deoderant and mascara. Not complaining, just sayin' - They don't mess around here.
Markus WelinDecember 26, 2011Choose National Express to get to central London. Free WiFi on the bus!
Hazwani OsmanDecember 19, 2010Have yourself for some hot chocolate with cream at Ponti's.. U won't regret!
Debbie PintoJune 1, 2013I have never seen such a mess. It took me 40 min to go to the security because the queues are so badly organised. If you have a chance to choose another place to your outbound flight, do it!
DuyguSeptember 6, 2011I tried the biometric visa booths for the first time. Their queue was moving much slower than the regular passport checking..
Tules YeginDecember 4, 2017Probably the worst airport I’ve ever experienced only one lane was open for 500 people trying to catch their plane didn’t even matter if you are flying business class.
Dog DareApril 29, 2012If you need to carry diabetic stuff in a freezer bag, get a letter from your doctor
Find customer Service in Ryanair flights is like find water in the dessert
Avoid a late arrival if at all possible. The passport gates always have a massive queue. Airport needs some serious upgrades. Not fit for purpose.- Peter FordFebruary 9, 2015Wifi sucks badly, queues are unreal, toilets dirty and checkin staff are ruder than US immigration (which I thought was impossible)
Adrian CotterillAugust 15, 2011Free copies of The Daily Mail available just before the Transit Train and at Departure Gates
G CSeptember 8, 2013Poor airport. Too many passengers. Gates for internal flights don't go up until 25 mins before departure. If you arrive early prepare to be bored. Security staff are the rudest outside the US.
Sreenath PrakashApril 5, 2014Shittiest airport with long wait for passport control, had to wait for over an hour at the border control plus shit 1hour late flight by Ryanair just spoiled my day!!! 😠
Alessandro D'OstilioOctober 11, 2010Stansted express train tickets can be done at the platforms area, machines are less crowded there

"Very clean, comfy chairs, free wifi and sockets for laptop/phones. What else could u ask more ?"
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."
