Patrick AndersonMay 2, 2013The fast lane security is now £4, however even with the extra £1 charge it is well worth it. Was through to the departure area in under 20mins!
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.
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! 🤬
Be prepared to spent an hour at the border control. Also it takes ages to get to London from here.
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
The airport becomes a fish market during peak hours (early morning and late night).
Anna SesztakovaFebruary 5, 2013Hell on Earth! That's how I would imagine myself an airport somewhere in Bosnia! All flights are late and the whole atmosphere of the place never stops reminding you that you've chosen a Cheap Flight.
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.
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!
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.- 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.
jason pJanuary 2, 2020Experience much better than it used to be, but they desperately need to get the rail -> airport link sorted
NikkiSeptember 4, 2014Very good train connection into London (FCC) but don't waste anytime time in the town itself
If you are looking for a power socket to charge your phone, there is one behind the post box just beside the WHSmith.
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
Ian LynesJune 3, 2012Est caffe serves surprisingly good food at reasonable prices. Always worth checking eatdrinkandfly.com for offers. I just got 15% off
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.
Peter ChristiansonAugust 5, 2016If you're using EasyBus to get to London, your bus stop letter will be on the ticket, ignore the signage.
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
Zia BambalanOctober 16, 2018Have an ample time to get to the airport as getting through security will take a long time.
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!
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.
The shit hole that was appears to me maturing into a first world airport!
Get to your flight gate within 15 minutes the latest before your flight, otherwise you've just lost it.
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.
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.
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.
Hopefully the fast connection with the railway station will make this airport more accessible- 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.
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.
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.
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)
If you're checking in a bag with Whizz Air, get here 2 hours before departure- £3 for priority lane access at security is money well spent. Much more worth it than 'speedy boarding'!
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
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!
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. :(
- 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!
