We always recommend booking your trip with an ABTA, ATOL or ABTOT protected provider, including easyJet Holidays, but if you do choose to book your flights and accommodation separately, make sure your travel insurance is comprehensive.

About Southend International Airport (SEN)
Getting There
Also known as London Southend Airport, the airport is actually a train ride from two London train stations (Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street). Trains run regularly throughout the day with Southend Airport train station being a short walk to the airport terminal. If you're travelling by car, getting into Southend can be busy at certain times of the day so give yourself plenty of time, and car parking is best booked ahead of time for the best deals.
Airport Hotels
The Holiday Inn Southend Airport is the closest hotel to the terminal building (about 5 minute walk away). Here you'll find affordable rooms, many with views across the airport. The 1935 Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is also a great place to relax with a meal and a drink the night before your flight, with airport views.
In The Terminal
Southend airport terminal is small, which isn't a bad thing sometimes. Minimal security queues make getting to the gate an absolute breeze. You'll find World Duty Free and WHSmith as well as Travelex currency exchange. The Navigator pub is open in the afternoons with the Skycafe also offering coffees and sandwiches. Why not treat yourself with access to the SKYLIFE Lounge, Southend's premium lounge, offering space and refreshments before your flight.
