If you are flying from London Stansted Airport, a bit of planning can go a long way towards saving you money and avoiding unnecessary stress. Here are some practical and straightforward ways to make your journey smoother and more affordable.

1. Use the Free Set Down Area and Shuttle Bus

Avoid paying the £7 express drop-off charge by using Stansted’s Free Set Down Zone, which is only a few minutes from the terminal. You can park for up to one hour free of charge, and a free shuttle bus runs regularly between the car park and the terminal entrance. It is the perfect option for quick drop-offs that cost nothing.

2. Pre Book Your Airport Transfer or Parking

Booking your airport transfer or parking in advance is usually much cheaper than paying on the day. Our Colchester based airport transfer service offers reliable travel to Stansted in a comfortable Tesla or spacious VW Transporter, ideal for both families and business travellers.

3. Bring Your Own Snacks and Refillable Bottle

Food and drink inside the airport can be quite expensive. Packing your own snacks and bringing an empty water bottle can save you money. You can refill your bottle at one of the many free water stations after passing through security.

4. Exchange Currency Before You Travel

Airport exchange rates are often higher than those available online or in town. Order your currency in advance or use a travel card with low or no fees when spending abroad.

5. Take Advantage of Free Wi Fi

Stansted Airport offers free Wi Fi throughout the terminal. Use it to check flight updates, download boarding passes, or plan your onward journey without using mobile data.
