  Note that there are two No.1 lounges at Stansted – useful if you know which gate you are leaving from.

    No, I think the other has closed – there was a comment on their website I saw.

      Tried using No 1 Stansted lounge with Priority Pass 2 weeks ago. The lounge was empty (06.30 AM Saturday), but wife and I refused entry as they told us that they had a large booking of people arriving soon. Asked if we could use the empty lounge until this group arrived and still refused us entry , quoting some nonsense about logistics or health and safety!
      Didn’t even know you could / had to book these lounges.
      Useless

        Something very similar happen to me last Saturday morning however we were allow entry but they told us if this “large group of people shows up ” we will have to vacate the table and sit at the bar.We left after an hour or so and no one showed up.

        Well worth a complaint to Priority Pass. I wouldn’t stand for that!

  One way standard class tickets booked on the Stansted Express website are now £8 if booked 30 days in advance or £12 if booked 7 days in advance. These advance fares are only valid on the day specified on the ticket but you can travel any time that day.

  The No1 lounges have gone downhill since they opened.

  O People are rutinely turned away
  O Booking now costs an additional £5
  O The inclusive food portion size is now a joke
  O Poor staff training – Asked to leave after 3 hours when my flight was delayed, despite offering to swipe PP again or pay cash.

  Hopefully the new Aspire refurbs will offer some competetion.

  Also a reminder that you can use any Red Spotted Hanky vouchers you have to book the train ticket, although the discounted £8 per fare isn’t showing.

  Thanks for heads up about 2nd Stansted lounge.

  With regards to being turned away, I have heard the about their Gatwick
  Lounges too.

    When we flew to Vegas last year from gatwick we were on our way to the BA lounge and I saw loads of people being turned away on the ground floor Non airline related lounge. Some very annoyed people with PP cards

  The wording on the Stansted lounge: Passengers should please be advised that the traveller lounge closest to gates 1-19 has now closed. Passengers are still able to make use of the excellent lounge facilites at Gate 49, but should be advised to allow additional travel between the lounge and their depature gate.

  So you can still use it, but have to walk to the end of the Ryanair pier, visit the lounge, then trek all the way back to the main terminal (against the flow) and then catch the train to the other pier…
