can’t see the Do You Know Who I ams entertaining First Class only lounge… will cause lounge agents no end of problems turning all the redemption J’s away. Would probably be the first of that sort of restriction across their network.

And no, I don't expect the retail area to be sacrificed as it brings in far too much money. Is there perhaps structural strength in the departures area to build lounges on top of the retail units ?
The only other place I can think of, is the quiet seating area under Itsu near gates 90+ Or maybe the plans for a new arrivals terminal need to be dusted off again and a new application made to the council ? |
The Escape lounge isn’t the best. It’s down some stairs next to the main toilets. Not really a great setting. Plus if you need the loo you’ve got to leave and use the main toilets. At least with the Number 1 Lounges at Gatwick they have their own toilets and shower facilities. Whilst I’m no fan of Number 1 it makes a big difference. The Escape Lounge at Stansted certainly doesn’t have a ‘Premium’ feel to it.
Luton has the Aspire Lounge above their retail outlets. If MAG management read this page (doubt it) please consider something similar. |
The Escape lounge was really poor. I’d liken it to the buffet at a Beefeater which serves a Premier Inn combined with the bar from a wedding venue. It mostly gets excellent reviews online, so I can only assume these people have never used a lounge anywhere else.

My partner has to take her mother STN-BFS on EZY this week. We have booked assistance for her mother, do they request at the check in desk?
Thanks. |
You need to get a boarding card (eg with web checkin) with a bar code or QR code which can be scanned. Once you have this, go first to the special assistance area who can start to provide help. Without the bar or QR code, special assistance will send you to the queue at the checkin desk.

Brilliant. Thanks very much. I'll tell Mrs PAXboy that. Most helpful. We did request assistance at time of booking online. So I trust that the BAR code has it.

Turkmenistan airlines new cargo flights
So it seems in addition to the current weekly 777 Stansted - Ashgabat passenger service there will also now be an additional Turkmenistan airlines weekly A330 Stansted - Ashgabat ( then onto Vietnam) cargo service launching.

https://airwaysmag.com/tt-meridian-f...go-uk-vietnam/ Turkmenistan Airlines quoted several weeks ago when they first announced service to STN that they intended to operate a weekly cargo flight with an A330F. Turkmenistan Airlines had previously announced that it would run alongside the current weekly passenger flight to STN from Ashgabat. Great to see that the Turkmenistan Airlines cargo flight is actually happening. London Stansted Airports cargo airline portfolio is growing and hopefully will see further growth in the future. |
Just to say that the assistance desk worked fine. Whilst they had wheelchairs - there was a wait for pushers. So daughter pushed mum and it was fine. They also arranged the Lift truck for them and two other wheelchairs. All good.

Emirates lounge
Does anyone know anything about the design specs for the upcoming Emirates lounge at STN? This will no doubt be a welcome addition to STN when it comes to fruition, considering STN only has one lounge currently.
I'm also wondering if there is a reasonable chance we can expect to see one of the 2 daily STN-DXB services upgraded to the A380 in the future, especially with the dual jet bridge now in place at gate 12? |

Sure there was another one a few weeks ago for Spanner work in the Diamond Hangar.

FR to start STN - TIA
Seems a bit of competition coming in the winter for air Albania and co as Ryanair planning to launch double daily Stansted - Tirana flights, although suspect this is aimed more at targeting the Wizz Air LTN market
https://www.fly4free.com/flight-deal...-from-albania/ |
London-Tirana for £10 return in a price war ?
|
Flight will be double daily. Stansted based Ryanair UK planes leaving at 06:30 and 16:00 everyday. Prices start at £24.99 one way.
|
Pegasus will have their largest ever summer schedule from Stansted. 55 weekly flights to 5 destinations. Antalya, Ankara, Dalaman, Istanbul SAW and Izmir. Pegasus's CEO flew in yesterday for a media op along with Stansted MD.
