Live arrival and departure times for London Stansted, updated continuously. Check whether your flight has landed, then walk straight out to your driver — with 30 minutes’ free waiting timed from the moment the wheels touch down, not from your scheduled time.
Stansted runs a single terminal, so every flight on this board comes into the same building — there is no terminal column to check and no wrong hall to stand in. Find your flight by its number or by the city it is coming from, and use the board’s own Departures link if you are seeing someone off. The map beside it shows what is in the air around the airport right now.
Flight times change at short notice, and neither the board nor the map is a guarantee. Always confirm your flight with your airline or with London Stansted Airport before you travel. We are an independent private hire operator and are not affiliated with London Stansted Airport or with any airline.
The board lists Time, Date, origin airport code, origin city, flight number, airline and status. If you do not have the flight number, search by the city it departed from — codeshares can appear under a different airline’s number, so the origin and the arrival time together are usually the quicker way to find the row. Three things are worth knowing before you set off for the airport.
Estimated is a prediction and will move. Landed means the aircraft is on the ground — but not that the passenger is out. Border Force queues at Stansted can run 30 to 45 minutes at peak times, and baggage reclaim comes after that, so do not set off the instant the status flips.
Stansted operates a single terminal building, so every airline arrives and departs from the same place. The commonest meeting mistake at Heathrow or Gatwick — waiting in the wrong hall — simply cannot happen here. One building, one arrivals lounge, one place to stand.
The board opens on today and scrolls to the current hour. Its own date selector covers tomorrow and the week just gone, and the hour selector jumps straight to a time — useful if you are planning a pickup a day ahead rather than watching a flight that is already in the air.
Checking the board is only half the job. This is what happens on our side once your flight is on the ground.
The full meeting-point walkthrough, including how the name boards work, is in our Stansted meet and greet guide, and the charge itself is broken down on the Stansted drop-off charge page. If you are already booked and something has changed, call +44 20 3617 7825 — the line is staffed 24/7.
Because Stansted has one terminal, the useful question is not which building but how long after Landed. This is the sequence a Stansted arrival actually goes through, and where your driver is at each point. Times are typical rather than guaranteed — queues vary by hour and by season.
| Stage | What happens | Where your driver is |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels down | The board switches to Landed. Your 30 minutes’ free waiting starts here, not at your scheduled time. | Already at the airport, parked in the short-stay car park |
| Immigration | Border Force queues can run 30 to 45 minutes at peak times. Nothing you need to do — the delay does not change your fare. | Waiting inside; no need to call or message us |
| Baggage reclaim | You receive a text with your driver’s name, vehicle, registration and exact standing position. | Moving into position in the arrivals lounge |
| Customs exit | One exit for international arrivals; domestic arrivals come through a separate door into the same lounge. | Just past the customs exit doors, holding a printed name board |
| To the car | Typically 5 to 10 minutes from exiting customs to being in the vehicle, including a 2 to 3 minute walk. | Beside you, carrying the luggage to the short-stay car park |
Flying out rather than in? Departures are dropped at the terminal entrance on the departures forecourt. For the full Stansted service, including the areas we cover and the routes we use, see the Stansted airport taxi page. For what a transfer costs, see Stansted airport taxi prices.
Use the arrivals board on this page and find the flight by its number or origin city. The status column shows Estimated while the flight is inbound and Landed once the aircraft is on the ground. Landed does not mean the passenger is out — Border Force queues at Stansted can run 30 to 45 minutes at peak times, and baggage reclaim comes after that.
Stansted has only one passenger terminal, so every airline arrives into the same building and there is no terminal to choose or check. That is why the arrivals board has no terminal column. International arrivals come out through one customs exit, and domestic arrivals through a separate door into the same arrivals lounge.
Yes. Every Stansted booking is monitored against the live arrival time, so if you land early or late your pickup moves with the aircraft at no extra charge. You do not need to call and reschedule. Your 30 minutes’ free waiting is timed from the moment you land rather than from your original scheduled arrival.
Yes. The board opens on today, and its own date selector includes tomorrow as well as the week just gone. There is also an hour selector if you want to jump straight to a particular time. Schedules published in advance are planned times and are the most likely to move, so check again on the day.
Inside the arrivals lounge, just past the customs exit doors, holding a printed name board. Once you have landed you receive a text with the driver’s name, vehicle, registration and exact standing position. Meet and greet and terminal parking are included in the fare, and it is a two to three minute walk to the short-stay car park.
Your driver is dispatched against the updated landing time, and the fare agreed at booking does not change because of the delay itself. The 30 minutes’ free waiting then begins when you land. If a delay runs into several hours or your flight is cancelled, call us on +44 20 3617 7825 so we can move or cancel the booking.
