Came through Stansted this week, first time for a while.
Previous excellent drop-off point from architects' original plan now closed - now have to enter what was once part of car park, well away from terminal and at bottom level.
Taxi (and anyone else) had to pay £2 to drop us off - seemingly doubled if you are not out within 10 minutes.
Luggage trolleys are indeed now charged for, with coin lock mechanism. I had no relevant coins and thus had to manhandle suitcases all the way up ramp and into terminal - where drop-off entrance (at northern end) is at opposite end from all the check-in desks (at southern end).
In one of busiest months of the year at a very seasonal airport, main restaurant in departures area closed for building works.
Thinking of attracting "proper" airlines ? - In Your Dreams, Stansted.
