If there's an accident on the A120, your driver checks live traffic and switches to the A12 and M11 so you're not left sitting in a queue.
Airlines at Stansted, including Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2, ask you to arrive at least 2 hours before a European flight. Use this as a guide when you book your pickup time:
| Flight type | Be at the airport | Leave Clacton |
|---|---|---|
| UK / European | 2 hours before | About 3 hrs 15 mins before |
| Long-haul | 3 hours before | About 4 hrs 15 mins before |
| Hand luggage only | 1 hr 30 mins before | About 2 hrs 45 mins before |
Lots of Stansted flights leave before 7am, so 3am and 4am pickups are completely normal for us. Your driver will be outside on time, and you'll get a text when they're on the way.
Coming home? We track your flight number, so if you land early or late your driver adjusts the pickup time. They'll meet you in the arrivals hall with a name board and walk you to the car. We allow time for passport control and baggage reclaim, so there's no need to rush.
