From Bedford (MK40, MK41, MK42) the natural line out is the A421 and the A6, joining M11 J8, then the airport approach for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 42.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 10m off-peak becomes 1h 25m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Meet and greet in the arrivals hall, or the short-stay pickup area. Stansted's drop-off charge and the airport approach fee are already inside the fixed fare.
