Review of BAA London Stansted

Overall acceptable for budget airlines.

Overall acceptable for budget airlines.

Pros: As Ryanair's main hub, they make an effort to ensure on-time departures and arrivals.

Departure experience is generally ok - security times are usually acceptable although staff members are not helpful. Seating is limited due to excessive surface dedicated to shops.

Cons: arrivals experience is poor, long walks and massive border queues. Transport to and from London is bad, except by car (the Stansted express is a slow, shockingly overpriced and constantly delayed commuter train stopping at 5 stations and running at an average speed of 40km/h)
