The route

From Brighton (BN1, BN2, BN3) the natural line out is the A23 and the A27, joining M11 J8, then the airport approach for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 125.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 35m off-peak becomes 3h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at Stansted Airport

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.

Address: London Stansted Airport, Essex, CM24 1QW.
