Stansted Secret
By following her advice, passengers can go through security in less than a minute.
In a viral video that gained 360,000 views, Elaine demonstrated a simple trick.
As she approached the security gates, the blogger showed the entrance usually used by most people.
But instead of going to the main electronic gates, she chose a different route.
“Instead, turn right and go straight through here,” - Elaine advised her viewers.
