  What travellers had to say about Stansted Airport

Dreadful service both outbound and inbound. Inbound delay through passport control was particularly bad, we were kept penned in an access tunnel way before the immigration hall because it was too croweded to hold all the arrivals. Even though it was nearly midnight in Feb, the tunnel was extremely hot with not air-con and very few seats. People with small children were really struggling. Finally got let inot the immigration hall which was in absolute chaos. It was completely packed with no queue control, no information, nothing. We did see one airport official and asked if there was some big incident going on he just said "There are too many of you". I will never fly through Stansted again and would strongly urge anyone else to consider carefully before doing so. The airport should not be allowed to treat people like this and they cannot use the increased securtiy checks as an excuse for abusing their customers.

45 minutes wait for security, and exactly half the X-ray machines not manned. Thus no time for airside shopping.

CPH-STN-CPH Although there was a huge mass of pax queuing for immigration on Monday 22/10, all the desks were manned and it when very smoothly. Departing STN on Wednesday mid-day the crowds were again huge. I would estimate that there were a least 1,000+ pax at security, but the processing went well (despite the occational idiot who only wakes-up at the last moment - why they're not sent to the back of the queue to sort themselves out beats me!), all the screening areas were manned, inc. the shoe scanner!
