I'm travelling with Ryanair with no bag drop at the end of September from Stansted airport. My train arrives the night before. Is it possible to go through security when I arrive and sleep overnight when I'm there? I've read that Stansted isn't sleeper friendly but I plan on just sitting on a bench overnight, is this allowed?
