How to book cheap train tickets from London to Stansted Airport

Season Tickets for frequent travel

If you frequently travel between London and Stansted Airport, a Season Ticket allows unlimited travel between these stations and is available for various durations, such as weekly, monthly, annual, or flexi. Enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey, as well as significant savings.

Network Railcard for South East England

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from London to Stansted Airport can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Railcards offer discounts of up to 1/3 on most tickets. There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travelers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from London to Stansted Airport, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Did you know that purchasing Advance Tickets can significantly reduce your travel expenses? On average, these tickets can save you an impressive 61% on fares. The best part is that the earlier you book (ideally up to 12 weeks in advance), the greater the savings!

Travel in a group to save 1/3
