From Halfway, London Stansted is about 74 miles by road, usually 1 hr 15 – 1 hr 45 door to terminal. It's the fourth-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Halfway. That's around 5 minutes quicker than from Sheerness, because Halfway is closer to the Sheppey Crossing.
The usual route is the A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25, M11 and A120. Because it crosses the Thames at Dartford, timing matters: queues build quickly at busy times, so we always build in a margin.
Stansted has a single terminal, which keeps things simple once you arrive. The variable is the Dartford Crossing: on a clear run it's quick, but queues at busy times can add a lot, so we always build in a margin.
