Has anyone been to Stansted airport recently?

Im leaving from there next week on a very early morning flight and I’m wondering what’s open.
Will I be able to buy breakfast for my flight?

You might be safest to presume not.

I’ve not been but the website says

Most of our shops and restaurants are currently closed. While we expect these to begin opening again as we move into the summer period, please note there is currently very limited availability of food and drink inside the terminal.

Can't help I'm afraid but would you mind updating your post when you're home so we know what to expect? How much longer did it all take to get on the plane, do they have spare masks if your grandson has dribbled in his, etc, etc? Thank you and hope you have a great trip!

Yes of course I’ll update.
I’m Hoping there is someone on here that’s been through there since lockdown was lifted.

Stansted was fine. Very quick checking in and security. Nothing different to the usual.
The departure area was busy with about half the food outlets open.
Shops open were duty free, boots and mulberry.
Choice of breakfast items wasn’t great but Wetherspoons was open but I didn’t go in there.

Hand sanitizer stations everywhere.

The flight was a different matter.
No social distancing and most people took their masks off on the plane.
I was quite shocked by this.
The staff didn’t say anything to anyone about this.

It was a raucous flight.
People were singing as we landed. ConfusedConfusedShock

Here in Ibiza. The rules are getting stricter on masks but people are not maintaining distance much which I’m finding odd.

Thank you for reposting and hope you had a good time. I'm shocked about the lack of masks on the plane though - very worrying! Perhaps we'll wear two each just to compensate! X
