Richard GregorySeptember 23, 2010What weighs more... 10kg of cotton wool or 10kg of iron? It doesn't matter, Ryanair will still attempt to stiff you - even if your carry-on luggage is within their personal baggage allowance. Read more
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.
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...
Louise HJuly 23, 2011A lot of waiting for an empty shuttle to the immigration hall where there were more waiting in looong lines to enter UK. Also a bit frightening to be welcomed by policemen with machine guns
SimonJune 11, 2012Pick up point is 15 quid after 25 mins. There's a Macy D's just after you come off the M11
Nathalie De ClercqSeptember 21, 2013Rush yourself through everything because you never know where they'll stop you and slow you down.
Although ‘Glorious Britain’ provides sufficient, it is more a souvenirs shop.
Since the refurbrishment started, the whole airport is dark, overcrowded and has lack of seats. Hope it ends soon.
James AJuly 29, 2011Best internet is with spectrum: 10 £ for the day and they have wall chargers free. Staff is also super nice
Julia Garcia PrietoSeptember 15, 2013Security is more strict than in any other airport I have ever been (liquids, shoes, computers and what not) and it takes forever to go through so make sure you arrive in time!
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!
Miguel EscotoMay 5, 2013Choose national express over any other transport. The difference is incredible.
HaspokSeptember 8, 2014Nearly all shops and restaurants in the passenger hall are closed due to refurbishment. (2014 Sept)
No queues at 4am. And it’s always an exciting hunt looking for a working USB socket.
Hilary WelterOctober 2, 2017Security is strict AF! get those liquids in a baggie and you better not have anymore than that.
The Spar in the main terminal ... Cheap cheap beer and nibbles for either pre or post flight relaxation
You're only allowed liquids in a sealable bag of a certain size now. But then you buy as many as you like in the departure lounge and no one gives a toss.
Harald GaerttnerJanuary 24, 2011Good service by Stansted Airport Security. You can now weigh your luggage there for free. So avoid the rip-off machines that charge you 50 pence a few meters before!
Airport is extremly overloaded. All the time. Queues are everywhere included toilets. You should be very patience
Its OK....not a nice looking airport but does the job and close to Cambridge
IngenieroDavidJune 10, 2013No. 1 Lounge (by Gates 1-19), where Air Berlin flights depart. They accept Priority List memberships.
Layout has changed! Departures located at the very end of the terminal,
Sabino DiazNovember 5, 2019Migragration check is a nightmare so go to the toilette and brace yourself for a long waiting...
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
DON'T fly into Stansted on a late Sunday flight. The customs queue is guaranteed to be longer than your European flight (esp if you're non-Eu/UK)- Pinky KumarJune 7, 2019Rude immigration officers questioning why did u come for a holiday! They prefer you keep your head down and listen to whatever they say , or they say ur telling him how to do his job! What a welcome
Can't understand why more people don't use fast track security. Best 5er you'll ever spend.
Thymios DragotisMarch 25, 2013If u are lucky , you can find somewhere to sleep, at the end of the hall ...
Marta SiekJune 26, 2013Every time I am travelling from here either they change the gate or the flight is delayed. Such a mess in logistics.
Ali YorukAugust 19, 2012burada turkce anonslar da yapiliyor/ there are turkish announcements, as well ;)
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!
Every 2 hours (generally) fast 250 National Express coach to Colchester and Ipswich
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!
John ONolanApril 18, 2011If you need power to charge a phone/laptop, there are 4 sockets at the bottom of the pillar opposite check-in desk K158.
Kelly CairnsJuly 5, 2013Buggies are collected from a different reclaim point to the cases. Mine was A!
Good Airport just because 40 minutes from us BUT. Expensive car parking/dropping Tonight Dirty toilets. Only Burger King for any hot drinks.

"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."
