Is 1 hour enough for a layover at Stansted (STN)?
Meets Stansted's practical MCT for most transfer types, including re-check-in scenarios.

Minimum connection times at Stansted: Domestic-to-Domestic is 45 minutes, International-to-International is 60 minutes. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell.
Can I make a 1 hour connection at STN on an international flight?
1 hour clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Stansted, but you should still head directly to your gate. An automated people mover (Stansted's air-side shuttle) links the main terminal to Satellite 3, while Satellites 1 and 2 are reached via underground pedestrian tunnels with moving walkways. There is no re-screening between the main terminal and satellites for through passengers already airside, but anyone arriving from outside the UK common travel area passes through immigration and must re-enter via security if changing airlines or exiting arrivals.
What happens if I miss my connection at STN?
Because most Stansted itineraries are separately ticketed low-cost flights, a missed connection typically means rebooking directly with the airline (often at a fee) rather than automatic rerouting; airport transfer desks are minimal, so head straight to the departing airline's ticket counter in the main terminal.
