Open 24/7Getting to London Stansted
Stansted is a major hub for budget and holiday flights, north-east of London in Essex. From Kent, the route crosses the Thames at Dartford and follows the M25 and M11.
We take Sheppey, Swale and Medway travellers to Stansted for every kind of trip, with fixed fares and pickup times that allow for the Dartford Crossing.
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.
