About
Arriving at London Stansted Airport
Stansted is Ryanair's biggest UK base and a major EasyJet hub. The airport has a single terminal but long walking distances.
Most Stansted flights use remote stands, meaning a bus transfer after landing. Add 5-10 minutes for this before reaching the terminal.
The walk from arrivals to the train station or car parks is substantial. Budget 20-30 minutes from "landed" to actually meeting someone outside.
Stansted Express runs to Liverpool Street (47 minutes). For pickup by car, the mid stay car park is closest. The free drop-off zone is a 15-minute walk from the terminal.
Budget carrier schedules can shift more than legacy airlines. Delay alerts are useful for Stansted flights.
Pickup tip
Free drop-off zone is 15 minutes walk from terminal. Use mid stay for convenience.
