Stansted Airport Terminal
Stansted Airport has a single passenger terminal composed by three Satellite buildings.
At Stansted Airport passengers will find an unique building where arrivals and departures are processed.
Levels
Stansted Airport has a single large passenger terminal divided into the Check-in and Domestic Arrivals hall, the International Arrivals and Departures and the Departures Lounge.
Even though, the building is a single level terminal distributed in the following way:
Check-in hall and Domestic Arrivals
Find in this section from left to right in the central part the check-in counters (A to J). Right after the check-in, find the security check. On the left up side to the check-in counters, find the Domestic Arrivals Hall, including a baggage carousel and an information counter. Access to the parking lots and train station by escalators and lifts.
Outside this level, right in front of the terminal, find the ground transportation options (bus, train station and taxi rank) which are accessible via a ramp.
Security check at Stansted Airport can take a lot of time. We strongly recommend you to arrive at the Airport with time and to do the security procedure easy: all liquids in a plastic bag and electronic devices out of your carry on luggage.
Departure Lounge
After clearing security check in the check-in hall, you can proceed to the Departure Lounge. In this section, find access to 1 to 99 boarding gates by either pier or via transit. In this section there is a plenty offer of retail stores and food and drink concessions, all centered in a big plaza prior to walking to gates.
