Stansted airport has one of London's newest terminal buildings, and is used by many budget airlines including Ryan Air. There a lot of check-in desks, so if you are traveling from here, view the screens near the entrances to find your check-in desk.

Once checked in you have to go through security. We have been to this airport and there were very long queues to get through security. We have checked with other passengers and this appears to happen a lot. So we have to recommend that you check-in on time to allow the extra time that may be required to get through the security check.

Stanstead Airport facilities include cashpoints which are available before or after the airport security check in. All cash dispensers accept UK bank and building society cards, they also accept valid major credit cards, but usually you will have to pay a surcharge for this service. There are a number of bars and restaurants at Stansted Airport to suit every taste and budget. When eating or drinking at Stansted you can be assured by using a restaurant or bar connected to a national chain you will not pay any extra premiums just because you are at Stansted airport Restaurants and Bars.

The airport has good motorway connections as well as a fairly large coach station, with express and slower connections to London and elsewhere. There is also a train station. For detailed information please visit the British Airports Authority site Access to the terminal from the coach station is through a tunnel and up escalators, there is also a lift.
