If you are going to be flying to or from Stansted Airport (or in many cases, both), there are certain pieces of information that can make your travel experience go more smoothly. Although it seems like it’s almost impossible to avoid every single problem that goes along with traveling, by taking some time to prepare yourself, you can eliminate the majority of problems that plague many people when they travel. To help you get on the right track for your Stansted Airport experience, we have gathered some of the most important pieces of information for you to know.
When it comes to knowing how early you should arrive at the airport, the first thing you have to know is what kind of flight you are taking. If you are taking a long-haul flight, you should arrive three hours early. If you are taking a European flight, you should arrive two hours early (this also applies to UK and Ireland flights as well). And if you are doing an online check-in, you should arrive an hour before your flight is going to leave the airport. In the event that you are doing an online check-in, make sure that you bring your printed boarding card with you to the Stansted Airport.
While there are other places you can go in the Stansted Airport after you check-in, it is highly recommended that you first go through security. This will ensure that you have ample time to make your flight, and once you get through security you can do things such as get something to eat without any worries about time.
