Landing at London Southend Airport

Facilities once you arrive

When you arrive at London Southend, you will be met with a very short and efficient journey through to your choice of onward travel.

On average, our arriving passengers move from Plane seat to train, car or taxi seat in under 10 – 15 minutes! We pride ourselves on being quick and easy.

There are toilets, including accessible toilets, and baby changing facilities available straight after passport control and before customs, adjacent to the baggage belts. For those arriving on a domestic flight, the toilets are just after the domestic baggage reclaim.

Baggage reclaim

Pick up your luggage after your flight at our baggage reclaim, which can be found after you have passed through passport control, and before customs. Once you have your luggage and are through customs, you’re just a one minute walk away from Southend Airport train station.

If you have lost, or believe that you have left an item on the aircraft, please refer to our lost property advice.
