Check in
London Southend Airport tries to process all passengers as efficiently as possible. We suggest that all charter flight passengers arrive three hours before their flight, and all scheduled flight passengers arrive two hours before their flight.
So small doesn't mean quick?????
There is a Premier Inn by the 06 threshold, 5 mins from the terminal by cab, and the new Holiday Inn will open next to the terminal in a couple of months.
So an early or late flight means an overnight stay then or a £100 taxi ride to/from London
Southend might well be good as a daytime airport but I think I will give it a miss before 8:30am or after 9:30pm
