My 13 hours flight brought me to London Stansted Airport. It's the UK version of LCCT (lol). It is a passenger airport located at Stansted Mountfitchet in the district of Uttlesford in in Essex, 48 km (30 mi) north-east of central London.
I was rather excited to check it out because i know for a fact that Heathrow is huge and always busy. I remember taking a super long walk to get out of the gate and the queue was madness.
A quick check online, i found out that Stansted is a hub for a number of major European low-cost carriers. It is the 3rd busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the third-largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow and Gatwick.
It was not as busy as I expected. Maybe coz of the time we landed (9pm). And the best part of landing at Stansted has to be the traffic. It was smooth all the way to Leicester.
According to my cousins, its about 100miles -which is about the same distance to go to Heathrow. So, i couldnt be happier. After 13 hours, i just want to get to the house as fast as i could.
So, if you are doubting about landing at Stansted, fear not.
~Cheers!
