The coach goes to the airport bus station, a short walk from the terminal, so you do not need the Luton DART shuttle.

The same coach from Luton to Heathrow starts at £20.50, not £15.50.

National Express advises being at the airport three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.

Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 or Terminal 4 rail station; changing at Liverpool Street

Stansted Airport station, under the terminal

Luggage

Racks at the ends of the Elizabeth line carriages; racks at the ends of the Stansted trains.

Runs

05:21–22:25

84–95 min

Change at Liverpool Street: TfL's planner allows 18 to 21 minutes between the trains, and the Stansted trains leave every 15 to 30 minutes.

Only a contactless card or phone pays the TfL fare; a paper ticket from Heathrow to Stansted is not priced here. The coach is cheaper (from £21.30) and about as quick, but runs about a dozen times a day.
