My last WE in London gave me the opportunity of a first trip via STN.
It was a good surprise since this airport is bright , clean and convinient.
My last expriences in LHR were quite painful.
The ground transportation is good and convenient but very expensive compared to the one in Paris.

It took us 2 mn to pass the security check on last Monday.
However 2 points were open at this time

I can’t see why there was only one security point open. They must have had staffing problems on that day, as there are usually 3 or 4. One or two for domsetic and then atleast 2 for international flights. I usually have to queue for around 15 mins. 10 mins on a good day.

Which is likely to be a 732!

Im fairly sure that there is a national express coach link between all the airports, although thinking about it it may only be LHR and LTN. You could check it out on nationalexpress.com

Mongu – probably the cheapest way to get from LUT to STN is to get a low cost (£1 type) flight to another destination which returns to STN!

LHR-STN on the trains? Heathrow Airport station-Finsbury Park on the tube. Finsbury Park-Tottenham Hale on the tube. Tottenham Hale-Stansted on the Stansted express.
Journey time around 2 hours.
