I love the way they encourage you to pay £4 for priority security by keeping the standard queue so long.
Ian SMarch 14, 2014Rather than spending a fortune on hotel accomodation try searching for airbnb. It's a website offering many local options including airport pick up n drop off. Far better than a hotel.- Ian SMarch 15, 2014Rather than extortionate prices for overnight accomodation, why not try airbnb.com. Search for Luton airport and there's a stack of low cost good quality places to stay, many offer airport transfers
Now they have opened a second security zone (zone 2). Worth it, especially if you don't have luggage to check-in. Downside is far from duty-free once you are airside.
WORST airport 3 years in a row- that says a lot.😠LTN should scrap the £3 charge to drop off and pick up people who had to endure that kind of service- that’s daylight robbery! 🤬
Assyl TobakabulovJune 18, 2015Good airport but far away from the city. Good wifi. Toilets are always crowded so you can use that for disabled person, because they are empty.
If your flight's delayed, make sure you hit WHSmith before everything shuts. Which is round about the time they issue you with a £3 voucher! Nice one pishyjet!
Airside Starbucks has the most plug sockets, benugo also have a few at their bench seating
Adam TarcsiJuly 19, 2022Due to the heat the runaway melted... ("maintenance deficiency"?, but) the main problem is that the airport doesn't have a disaster plan or a plan b if they have to cancel flights. Total chaos.
jason pJanuary 2, 2020Experience much better than it used to be, but they desperately need to get the rail -> airport link sorted
Bruno B.March 27, 2016Avoid Luton Airport! F&B is horrible, you need a shuttle to get you to the train station, it is further out than any other airport. London has 4 other airports, use them!
Be prepared to spent an hour at the border control. Also it takes ages to get to London from here.
The airport becomes a fish market during peak hours (early morning and late night).- I was surprised when I wasn't able to find any pay as you sim cards inside the airport except for Lebara and the expensive ones from the machine.
AldonaJune 15, 2012If you want to spend the night, be prepared there's extremely limited seating downstairs and it gets chilly. Have a sleeping bag and a sweater! It was quiet until 3 am, though.
If you are looking for a power socket to charge your phone, there is one behind the post box just beside the WHSmith.
NikkiSeptember 4, 2014Very good train connection into London (FCC) but don't waste anytime time in the town itself
Dropping a passenger off is now 2£, a 100% increase. The traffic flow at the drop off zone is dismal and probably caused many people to miss their flights.
Ian LynesJune 3, 2012Est caffe serves surprisingly good food at reasonable prices. Always worth checking eatdrinkandfly.com for offers. I just got 15% off
Erik BergsmaMay 14, 2013it costs £15 to get to london center (st pancras) and 45-60 minutes, so it may even cost less ( in time or money) to fly to london city or heathrow directly
Dapo AkinsolaJuly 9, 2018Getting transport after 12 midnight is not a good experience, and so also is getting through immigration if you are a foreigner
Iliana DimitrovaSeptember 27, 2014Easy to find everything. Small airport but it has everything you need in there
Colm DoddNovember 6, 2011Book on easybus in advance. £15 return to London. Great value and only takes an hour.
Get to your flight gate within 15 minutes the latest before your flight, otherwise you've just lost it.
Zia BambalanOctober 16, 2018Have an ample time to get to the airport as getting through security will take a long time.
The shit hole that was appears to me maturing into a first world airport!
MarkSeptember 22, 2019Airport is rather large, expected it to be smaller. Lots of food options after security. Though I missed a Costa (only available before security)
Peter ChristiansonAugust 5, 2016If you're using EasyBus to get to London, your bus stop letter will be on the ticket, ignore the signage.
Gracia AltaMay 7, 2018Small. Get from the Check-in to gate within the one hour. Not enough seats but that's normal for a low carrier airport. Arrivals is also very fast and clear signs to the PT.
Graeme BoydJanuary 23, 2011Not usually a fan of these Priority Lane things but this one's defo worth it - £3 and you sail past the queues. Lovely.
Get fast track security as you go in - £3 will save you a 20 minute wait in the queue.- It's like a building site at the moment. If parking it takes some time to navigate around the construction.
LTN is a 20 minute taxi from my home - Heathrow 45-60 minutes and Gatwick an hour by train. Door to plane door, LHR and Gatwick still win. That's saying something.
Edmund DudleyAugust 6, 2016Security check is much smoother and better organised than it used to be. Trays so big you could bathe a dog in them!- Sam EnglandJuly 19, 2013The airport bus is free, as long as you have a rail ticket from Luton Airport to your destination. London St Pancras is just 20 minutes away!
If you're checking in a bag with Whizz Air, get here 2 hours before departure
Alice FungMarch 16, 2011Power points at 2 tables in est caffe, 1 down other end of lounge in cafeteria under the tv, another on tiled column in central island. Power up!
Hopefully the fast connection with the railway station will make this airport more accessible
Looking for plug without a padlock over it. Breakfast bar seating in 'the real food company'. Coffee not great but access to power socket is invaluable.- £3 for priority lane access at security is money well spent. Much more worth it than 'speedy boarding'!
- Boon KohApril 30, 2015Bringing liquids on the plane? You can't use your own clear bags. Only theirs that cost £1 as only those can "prove" you have less than 1 litre of liquids in them.
JoyboliciousJune 11, 2016Worst London airport ever. the cost from Luton to central London is at least 15.50 each way and queues to get out are ridiculous. Took an hour and you still have to take a shuttle to get a train. :(
eDreamsApril 16, 2012If you’re travelling by train from here, make sure to book tickets in advance. You will pay less for them http://ow.ly/ajlEd
