Connecting between Heathrow and Stansted
Self-transfer connections need generous margins. Factor in the time to leave the terminal at Heathrow, motorway traffic round the M25 and up the M11, and your airline’s bag-drop deadline at Stansted. Many low-cost airlines at Stansted enforce strict deadlines.
Arriving at Stansted
Stansted has a single terminal building. Drop-off is on the terminal forecourt, where Stansted applies a drop-off charge; your quote explains how this is handled.
Luggage and vehicles
If you are heading for a low-cost flight, check your airline’s baggage allowance before leaving Heathrow. For the transfer itself, any vehicle can be booked — tell us how many cases you have and we will recommend the right size.
Your Heathrow pickup
We collect from all four passenger terminals. Add your flight number and terminal to the booking and we will track your arrival. Your pickup includes a free waiting period after landing, confirmed in your quote, and with meet and greet your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board.
Travelling the other way? We also run Stansted to Heathrow transfers — just choose “To Heathrow (departure)” in the quote form and we will time your collection around your check-in.
