    But the priority security pass like all the other tips say. Best 3 pounds I ever spent.

    It’s an airport. Departures can be very crowded.

    Expect to be treated like cattle in departures, everything to be understaffed, rude and dismissive treatment, a 2 hour border control wait on arrival and another 2 for baggage return. Avoid.

    Use your chip passport for a quick , automated border check - and go ahead the queue.

    There's some power sockets for charging devices at the over priced internet kiosk in front of Starbucks

    The worst airport in London,even maybe in Europe!!! Everything is super slow and messy. This is my last trip with Wizzair and from/to Luton!!!

    £3 for priority lane through security... Worth every penny!

    Only use designated drop off areas or be prepared for a hefty fine

    Always busy and always horrible long queues... I have landed about half an hour ago and still stuck on the plane waiting on member of staff to open the gate so that we can leave the plane?!

    It took a while but it’s slowly becoming better than Stanstead.

    Not enough seating in departures unless you buy a drink that you don't really want. Try the tables next to 'Yam Yam To Go'.

    The check-out procedure through a huge line with people from 2 or even 3 flights took 25 minutes!!! Ouch!

    Consider flying through Birmingham next time. Luton tries hard toi be the most unwelcoming airport in the country

    There is a new Security Zone 2 with a separate entrance, not from the departures. Be aware!

    Bring a clear sandwich bag for your carry on liquids because the fuckers here charge a quid for them

    If you're heading to Mid-Stay Multistorey Parking, keep left, otherwise you'd be charged £3 for nothing. Complete mess on the roads with navigation and signs.

    Don't forget to leave enough time to get to Gate once you're thru Security!

    If you are flying wizzair, only bring carry on luggage or arrive 4 hours early. The queue for the check in hasn't moved at all in 30mins.

    It takes forever for the bags to come out. I was standing there 1 hour for the bags, same as the flights from before me. It takes the joy out of flying and it makes you only angry at waiting at that.

    Trashiest airport in Europe.

    Get to airport early as it can take 45 minutes to get to car park at airport because of a chaotic road system

    Welcome to the Olympic Games of Queueing! Going to Tatry? There are like 5 seats next to gate, so you have to stand in queue from hell. If you have chance of flying from Luton, pick another airport.

    Bar serves cold Peroni. Also cheeky 'bar 10' on the way to the gates

    Krispy Kreme doughnut concession in Departures has no designated seating area. That's a sticky-fingered family fail.

    You pay for everything here. Even the plastic security bags for liquids. Unbelievable.

    A terrible airport that lets you pay to relieve some of the more terrible parts. Always get priority security and _always_ take note of the name of the security attendants.

    My tip? Don't bother. A disgusting airport and a depressing insight into cheapo British holidays. I'll be glad to get out of here...

    Stay at nearby ibis for early flights. Makes it slightly more tolerable

    the service and people are really great in the 3-4 times I took a flight from there they've been really great. Queue times can get scary in peak periods!

    This place sucks the life out of every living thing. Security is completely incompetent, dropping and flipping trays - spending more time chatting to each other than working.

    No drinking fountains. High food prices. Prepare beforehand.
