So, the next time you drive to Stansted, do yourself a favor. Take two minutes at home, probably while you’re still in your pajamas, and book that drop-off slot online. It’s free. It’s easy. And it saves you from paying £6.50 for the privilege of watching your mother-in-law sprint toward the check-in desk. Treat it like a game of airport bingo, and you’ll arrive with your stress level and your wallet intact.
Now go forth, drop off, and enjoy the smug satisfaction of being the smartest person in the car park. Just watch out for that pigeon—it’s clearly the parking attendant’s spy.
