Good Airport just because 40 minutes from us BUT. Expensive car parking/dropping Tonight Dirty toilets. Only Burger King for any hot drinks.
IzaletteJanuary 1, 2018Worst airport design. Make you walk in circles after security, trying to sell you things. And after, you still don’t see your gate. Also you need to put your liquids into plastic bags. #plasticwaste
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
Jewel RoadcarMay 26, 2013All going smoothly so far. Can't believe concourse luggage weighers cost a pound.
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!
Kelly CairnsJuly 5, 2013Buggies are collected from a different reclaim point to the cases. Mine was A!
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.
Donal KaneSeptember 18, 2013What a neglected run down place at least at Luton they look like they're trying .. and why does it take so much longer for the UK Border Authority to check passports here compared to other airports?
Definitely check out the Krispy Kreme stand. Gorgeous ;-)
Michael HoldsworthJuly 4, 2015Security was an absolute scrum. No one seemed to have a clue what was going on. And that was transferring to a domestic flight.
Asraf Hanafi SpearsFebruary 14, 2017They have PC and printer for printing but its expensive af. Haha

Keep an eye on your gate, for some of them you have to catch a little shuttle train. If you leave it too late you'll miss the flight.
Stansted express, terravision or National express for airport transport? Hhhmmmm.
About to pay Ryanair £60 to print a boarding card? Don't! There are computer terminals & printers in zone G where you can do it for £1
Edward NunnJune 6, 2012Buy bottled water from Pret- it's much cheaper than WHSmith as they don't hike their prices.- If the queues at security are are scarily long, there's a queue-jumping fasttrack option which costs £5.
Francesco de VirgilioJanuary 23, 2015Check drinking fountains at the gates before shopping for water :-)
If you wanna sleep go behind Pret a Manger! 6 seats in a row without arms!!!!
Never ever take the Terravision coach to get to Central London. They stole my luggage and nobody seems to care about it. National Express coaches and Stansted Express trains are more secure.
David RodriguezMay 2, 2013Quite nice airport. A bit far from London. Expect dense traffic if you go by road.
Jonathan MorganOctober 20, 2013Use one of the 4 other London airports. Since the takeover, this airport has become the pits. 200% increase in car park charges, reduced bus services and over an hours wait for luggage.
- budgetplaces.comSeptember 12, 2011Leave your car up to 4 days in the parking lot… it’ll be cheaper than taking a cab!
Dog DareApril 24, 2014Buy the telegraph newspaper which doubles up as sh#t paper on a ryanair flight when they decide to charge us. Makes the overpriced water just 1,40
This airport used to a nice place to fly out from but it is just aweful- John NewburyJuly 11, 2011Always drive right to the end of the Red Car Park- there are normally spaces next to the main terminal building.
If you don't have a clear, re-sealable bag they often give you one at security.- Erik ItlandJuly 5, 2014Free wifi wants to know everything about me and have a picture of the kitchen sink
Its not the check in agents fault if ur baggage is overweight, you've lost your passport, bought the wrong one, missed your flight or didn't read the terms and conditions!
Avoid mornin RyanAir flight on no matter what! 1) waited 20mins due to "no parking slot" (8.30am!) 2)waited next 20 due to "no ground staff" 3) terravision coach to ldn - waited 1hrs despite reservati
Worst airport ever. Crowded, busy and Ryanair’s base - need I say more
Matthew HemesAugust 11, 2014Take a plastic bag for liquids! They seem to be the only airport that charges £1 for 4 bags!
Confusion at gates 51-59. The queue under the tunnel is indeed the queue for your flight...it looks like queuing for 51-but it's for 54...
small size restaurant have more seats than stansted airport.
Get FREE water in WH Smith at the moment by buying the Daily Telegraph for £1. (March 2011)
👉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.

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."
