easyBus is one of the cheapest ways to get from London to Stansted Airport. With single bus fares starting at £2.00, easyBus offers some of the lowest prices in the city.
easyBus often has fare sales and other promotional offers for bus tickets to Stansted Airport as well. During their sales, you can buy tickets online for as little as £0.50.
easyBus buses depart from central London at Gloucester Place near Baker Street. The closest tube station to the bus stop is Baker Street, which is served by many London Underground lines and city buses.
Make sure to arrive 10 minutes before your bus is scheduled to depart or your seat may be given away to passengers that are already at the bus stop. Tickets are valid for 60 minutes before and after your scheduled time, but you are only guaranteed a seat on the bus you book.
Buses have luggage holds, but some buses are small and do not have room for many large bags. As such, make sure to pack lightly if you plan to go with easyBus.
Departures take place every 15 minutes at peak times, and less often at off-peak times. They operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except for Christmas day.
The travel time to the airport is 1 hour and 15 minutes, making it a relatively quick trip considering the distance.
A tip for getting the best prices on easyBus tickets to Stansted: book your flights at off-peak times, as prices on bus tickets are lower in the early mornings, off-peak day times, and late evenings.
