Next month. If I use a horribly cheap flight to London Stansted how screwed up am I? Because it seems like actually arriving to central London is more expensive than my flight there.


Very screwed. You would be paying for a £35 return into London itself on the Stanstead Express into Liverpool Street and probably have to pay for a Travel card to get to where you are staying so it could end up paying up to £50-70 for travel costs inside London. Its usually worth the extra to fly into Heathrow as the Piccadilly Line runs under it and you can get into central London for about £4 max. And if you are staying for long. Get an Oyster card, otherwise you will be screwed on underground/bus fares.

He wont need a return, will he, because he wont be returning to the airport for a few days.

15 quid to get into Liverpool St.

4 quid to get to the hotel.

Easy.

Where are you staying?

Might be worth seeing if they have an airport shuttle?


Its cheaper to buy a return because the normal Stanstead Express ticket is about £28 on it own. Also, I don't recommend getting the "One" network trains into Liverpool St. if you are carrying anything of value, particularly at night.

See if there is a shuttle. Otherwise, its better to get an express in.
