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.
If you don't have a clear, re-sealable bag they often give you one at security.
This airport used to a nice place to fly out from but it is just aweful
If you can fly from any other airport do so! This one is bad on so many levels. Avoid at all cost.- Gabriel Marine 👍May 22, 2015This airport is worse than a bloody zoo .... It's been few years have not used Stansted, pity how its reached sub-zero stand. Avoid if u can, extra cost of flight is million times worthwhile.....
Denelle WaltonJune 30, 2016Ways prefer this over LGW and Heathrow. It's cheap to get her by national rail.
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!
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
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.
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...
BeatrizMay 5, 2011Easyjet: Yeah, take your buggy/pram down to the plane but neither airport nor airline staff will help carrying it downstairs at the gate.
Don't buy clear bags - they give them to you for free in the security line!
martin charlierAugust 7, 2014There are free sealable plastic bags at the security check tray conveyor belt. Don't bother buying any before.
Sebastian NJune 26, 2016There's only boiling HOT water coming out of every water tap. No free cold tap water anywhere.
Costa for that drive home. Have a skinny flat white they're pretty good.
Tuba IslamOctober 13, 2011Be careful about the transit. It is not enough to pass the final security. You might need to take the train after that to go to the gate. Not good tonotice it last minute after a coffee at starbucks:)
Thomas PiersantiDecember 17, 2012There are free WiFi in underground stations and here there isn't instead. Unbeliaveble. In internet areas 1£/10 minutes
Sven RSeptember 4, 2013National express takes you to london for 10 pounds and they have onboard wifi
- On passport check go to self checkout if you have biometric passport and save 30 minutes instead of standing in the queue!
Mateusz PApril 13, 2015Just a big, regular airtport. Be prepared for a long waiting in the security check queues.
Nothing good here. Arriving here from perfectly organised Oslo airport makes Stansted look the rundown hellhole it really actually is
Florian RichterOctober 11, 2013Can't say I've had a single pleasant experience at this airport. Ryanair however makes things even worse as soon as you approach their gates.
AshapinkiexJune 4, 2012Hates the long waiting line at the immigration counter esp for non-EU passport holders. Have the courtesy to open up more than 2 counters, will you?
Ryanair check-in/bag drop desk didn't open until 4am when we were there - had to sit around for an hour!
You'll suffer long queues after bank holdays. Just be patient and smile :-)
David EverySeptember 21, 2014Off to Sardinia with Christopher & Andi Deeks to buy a works Honda Montesa for Christopher.

"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."
