A travel influencer has revealed a clever trick for getting a cheap breakfast at the airport.
Em, which on the Internet is called Em’s Budget Travel, went to London Stansted Airport and said he discovered a new “favourite” trick that he “hadn’t seen anyone talk about anymore”.
The tip will benefit those who fly in the morning and hope to recharge with a great breakfast before taking the flight.
On Instagram, Em advised people to eat before going through security, as the cost of food, drinks and other items are inflated near the gates.
Instead, Em told the globetrotters to exit the departures area and turn right, following the signs to the Hampton Hotel.
“It’s only a five-minute walk from the terminal building,” he said.
The vlogger then said you can pay entry to enjoy their unlimited breakfast, which will cost you £12.95 per person.
This is about the same cost as a much smaller traditional breakfast at The Windmill, a Wetherspoons pub inside the terminal.
Em recently went to London Stansted Airport and said she discovered a new “favorite” trick that she “hadn’t seen anyone talk about anymore.”
The budget chain charges customers £12.75 for a fried egg, bacon, a Lincolnshire sausage, baked beans, two hash browns and a piece of toast.
However, dining at the Hampton Hotel means you can get unlimited breakfast and drinks for a few cents more.
Em said: “There are lots of options, they have the usual hot food, cold cuts, cheeses, breads, cakes, cereals and a waffle maker with toppings.”
The buffet is open from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 4:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekends, benefiting those taking early morning flights.
When you are done enjoying a feast, you can accompany the meal with various fruit juices and hot drinks and you can even take one to go.
Then, Em says it’s a five-minute walk back to the terminal, where you then go through the boarding pass and security processes to prepare for the flight.
He added: ‘I’m going to do this before all my morning flights.
“It’s great value for money considering it’s in an airport and is the perfect way to start your holiday.”
Em told the globetrotters to leave the departures area and turn right, following signs to the Hampton Hotel, where they can get unlimited food and drink for less than £13.

One wrote: “It’s a good idea in theory, but it takes so long to get through security at Stansted that you’d have to get there five hours before the flight.”
Another wrote: ‘Wow, I never knew you could do this! I will definitely do it next time I fly from there.”
A third said: “I’m too lazy to show up early to do this.”
A fourth commented: “This is an absolute legend, I will always do this.”
