London Stansted (STN) -> Amsterdam

A transfer from Stansted to Amsterdam runs via the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais, then on the A16 in France, the E40 and E19 across Belgium (passing Brussels and Antwerp) and the A4/A2 motorways in the Netherlands. From STN the journey runs M11 to M25, then M20 to Folkestone — 500 km in total and 9-11 hours door-to-door.

London Stansted (STN) -> London City Airport (LCY)

STN -> LCY is a niche executive cross-airport scenario: a Ryanair flight into STN and a short executive flight out of London City (BA CityFlyer, Lufthansa CityLine, Swiss, KLM Cityhopper) to European business hubs. 50 km and 55-85 min off-peak, up to 110 min in the afternoon peak (4-7 PM). The route runs south on the M11, then the A406 North Circular and the A13 to Docklands, where the LCY terminal sits. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early-morning runs (LCY opens at 5:30 AM for early-bird BA flights to Frankfurt and Zurich). We recommend a 3-4 hour buffer before an LCY departure. The driver pulls up at the STN terminal and delivers you to the LCY entrance.

London Stansted (STN) -> London Luton (LTN)

STN -> LTN is the shortest airport-to-airport run in London — 40 km and 40-65 min off-peak (up to 80 min in the afternoon peak, 4-7 PM). The route follows the A120 west, then the A1(M) north and the A505 to the Luton terminal, or alternatively the M1. The classic use case is Ryanair into STN and Wizz Air out of LTN (or the reverse) — the most common Polish-British inter-airport connection. The route avoids the M25, so it sidesteps the main London bottlenecks. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early and overnight misconnects. We recommend a 3 hour buffer before a Luton departure (Wizz Air closes bag drop 40 min before flight). The driver pulls up at the STN terminal and delivers you to the Luton terminal.
