so is it best to go for mid stay as only dropping off and popping to airport to say goodbye. Also where is mid stay as last time I wenti went into the wrong place and had to pay a huge amount as not exit without paying!!

Best answers:

• Get there a bit early, have a coffee in the MacDonald's outside the airport to say goodbye and then drop them off maybe rather than paying to park and say bye
• Stansted's website has a car park map:

  It also has directions and even a video showing you how to get to it!

  Note that the Mid Stay is a 5 minute bus ride from the terminal although these are free and run every 10 minutes.
• thanks both!
