Review of BAA London Stansted

Always a sad place, old Stansted.

Always a sad place, old Stansted.

Not only is it far but it is so inhospitable they have actually hired workers to wake people that are waiting for their flights up in their newly implemented NO SLEEPING policy .

That s right - You need to stay awake, sitting up straight all night if you arrive early or are unlucky to have a delayed flight in the evening. Someone in high viz might come and talk at you until you wake up and even threaten to expel you from the airport for 24 hours if you happen to fall asleep.

Seems like next they ll get some cattle prods to organise passengers.

If you get though that lovely experience you ll find that after security there are no places - none - to fill a water bottle up in the airport s THE MORE TRASH THE BETTER policy.

I d recommend choosing a different airport if you can.
