Terminal guide
Terminals at Stansted

- One terminal serving all airlines, including Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet and TUI
Drop-off
Where we set you down
Stansted operates a paid express drop-off immediately outside the terminal and a free mid-stay drop-off with a shuttle. We use the express zone so you step out at the departures door.
Pick-up
Meeting you on the way back
Arrivals are met in the terminal arrivals hall, a short walk from baggage reclaim. If you travel with hand luggage only, we can arrange a kerbside collection instead.
Recommended departure times
When we suggest setting off
Most Stansted flights are short-haul with tight boarding. We normally suggest leaving the Nene Valley around three and a half hours before departure, a little more in peak holiday weeks.
Stansted is heavily used by low-cost carriers, so security queues peak very early in the morning.
The A14 can be slow around Kettering and Cambridge during weekday rush hours.
Baggage allowances on budget airlines are strict — check before you travel.
