LONDON (Stansted), England (Contributed by The bloke in the yellow vest!)
“June 18, 2004 – I work here and we always have about 500 sleepers. We do exclude people but only for a reason (if they are drunk/loud/abusive) or if they make life uncomfotable for others.
The airport is exceptionally safe, with have Security, Armed Police and Customer Services all wandering around 24hours.
If you come to sleep here, invest in a sleep mat ot get here early (before 10pm).
Sleep in Zone K, it’s quiet and the ‘bleepers’ do that zone early.
Just remember…sleep but be pleasant and polite and that’s what you’ll get back!”
