Ryan Air/Stansted airport query

Do Ryan Air bus you to your plane at Stansted airport? I am trying to work out if it is worth paying for priority boarding and understand that it is not worth it particularly if buses are used.

Not that I know of. There's a mixture of air bridges and walking a few yards across the tarmac to the aircraft.

But I could be out of date. Stansted seems to be forever changing so there might be some flights that use buses these days.

I have only used Ryanair once, in August '09, and a bus wasn't used. It was the same when I flew out of same airport via Easyjet in June '09.

My personal opinion is that priority boarding isn't worth it. If you are travelling as a family only pay PB for 1 adult who can then hopefully save seats for the rest of the family. But that's just my opinion.

No, Ryanair don't normally bus passengers to aircraft at Stansted, because as far as I know (and can tell from Google Earth) there aren't that many remote stands (only about four or five to the north-east of piers). STN is still well within capacity, so it's easy for every flight to get a gate.

Thank you everyone. It's just myself and my son travelling so I will pay for PB in that case.
