I have traveled a lot. And I have trod many airports but like the Stansted airport I have not seen anything like it.
Never again! Although it costs me the triple flight.
You arrive at midnight. Your flight leaves at six thirty in the morning and you find infinity of passengers like you lying on the ground. Children crying. Unhealthy toilets. The air conditioning to stop if you happen to get, despite all these adversities take a nap. As if that were not enough, from time to time two very kind gentlemen pass to remind you that you can not lie on the ground. Sitting yes, lying down no.
I have never been thrown out of an airport restaurant to clean up. Well, never no. Only in Stansted.
At half past two they deign to open the control doors and another odyssey begins.
They give you a bag of ridiculous dimensions so you can put all the containers of less than 100 ml and ..... They force you to close the bag because everything that does not fit in this once closed stays there.
Once this test is over, you will have access to boarding. While waiting, are you invited to sit in some armchairs? Wood that desensitizes your butt but if you still get to sleep you put the air conditioning on top to wake up.
If you pass this test then they send you to the boarding gate. Once inside they make you wait, crowded like the sheep, to the bus to take you to the plane that is in the fifth pine. Leaving the bus and again to queue to access the plane, yes, under that thick and cool fog typical of the morning London.
Once you get on the plane you are given a tour of the tracks of about 15 minutes, and I do not exaggerate, until you get to the runway
I cried with joy when the plane took off!
Goodbye, Stansted. See you never!!
