Review of BAA London Stansted

Very long ways, also forcibly through the shopping passage. Gate will be announced or opened 30 minutes before departure, closing 15 minutes before departure. (Walk to our gate 10 minutes)
The shuttle bus recommended and arranged by Ryanair came with considerable delays at the airport (1 hour before departure) due to the subway strike and the associated traffic chaos. The security checks were so slow and tedious that we were only a quarter of an hour before departure at the gate and were no longer let through. However, the few employees apparently had time enough to get our luggage out of the plane again. It took us more than an hour to get our luggage back.
In the requisite new booking Ryanair came to us in any way financially.
We would never choose Stansted Airport again.
