Once the new multistorey carpark is finished, with hopefully a decent valet parking option, and security and border control queues are reduced, it will once again become my preferred airport, as it was 10 years ago.
My last two journeys through Stansted have been seemless with regards to outbound security screening and inbound immigration. I have experienced the horrendous queues in the past, the last time was about three years ago though to be honest. It’s been either reasonable or very good since. I have stood in queues for much longer at both Gatwick and Heathrow in the last six months.
