Make sure you drop off in the correct place - they pounce on you here even if you make a genuine mistake !
Nino MendozaJune 17, 2017Only got to experience arriving at this airport. I'm not the biggest fan as it's pretty rundown.
Steps up in double quick time. If only they could unlock the terminal on time ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Chris HoyAugust 30, 2013If you have a late flight don't go through security earlier than you need to-the cafés and coffee bars close at 8pm on the other side.
Ken BuckfieldOctober 13, 2014Not a thing! A short term carpark open to the elements and a good walk away from the terminal. Very third world.
Chris TamsOctober 16, 2011Short stay parking is £36 per day - medium term if £18.80 per day - long term is £14 per day (3 day minimum stay) - cheaper if you pay in advance online
Bill BranniganOctober 8, 2021APCOA parking BANDITS, £1 per minute. £55 for waiting for less than 40 mins. The return flight cost £80, the London Zipcar £37. Like backlot parking spivs. Shame APCOA & Luton Airport.
Joseluis VilarAugust 31, 2012If you change your mind, you can change your flight!! Partial Refunds on plane tickets. Go to www.changeyourflight.com to discober more about it!
The £3 fee to drop off and pick up passengers is simply an extortion!
Mayra Sampaio DelfinoOctober 21, 2013Travelling by Ryanair? If u r not EU, don't forget to stamp your tkt at the check in counter!
If you need electric plugs, there are some on the arrival hall on the pillars near the benches, close to the exit
Jānis BukšsOctober 31, 2020Security control disallowed to have a tiny(50ml) snowball in hand luggage claiming that the item has no approved reference of liquid volume. Asking what is “approved”, the woman refused to reply! WTF
Sandrushka KamachovaJune 15, 2016Nice and easy, though the most expensive airport to get from London by train.- Get here early.. Security's the longest it'll ever be!
Johannes DriessenSeptember 20, 2014Make sure your train ticket includes the shuttle bus to Luton airport parkway station. The bus departs from the front of the airport
Brendan ElliottJanuary 4, 2018Get your bus tickets outside, don’t wait in the line straight out of the customs area, line too long!
Gerry WaldronAugust 30, 2018Buy rail ticket at Airport or in advance to avoid paying extra for the bus to Luton Airport Parkway railway station
Paying £4 (£3 if prepaid) for fast lane through security saves about 15 minutes if you're in a hurry.
The worst airport in the UK. Instead of increasing retail space... provide people with some seats!
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.
If you are flying out, make sure you check-in with Foursquare and ask for £5 off in Duty Free shop (if you spend over £35).
ŽivilėMay 11, 2016Limited free wifi (1 hour since you log in). However, the phone charging station is a plus: you can lock and charge your phone for free for 30min
Buy your food from M & S in landside it's cheaper and certainly a lot nicer than aircraft food!
Marvel at the dystopian possibilities of the digitally projected staff.
Small enough that you will not have to queue long at security.
Go for Fast security check. Its 3£ but you wont regret! Otherwise this airport is a joke!
Joseph ShambrookMay 16, 2016Eat before security. There's not much choice after security, and they can be *crammed* with people.
Like this tip if Luton airport should ban Ryan Air for being airline pirates!
Hans CramerSeptember 29, 2019It 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.
Sigal ShaharabaniJuly 5, 2017It took me roughly 2 hours to pass the queue, I suspect local passports waited longer. Baby strollers are not given at landing so people stood in queue with babies and young children in their arms- Adam ŠafránekAugust 6, 2014National Express to the city is the best option to get to London as comfortable as possible :)
There's one good thing about this airport: hopefully, you're leaving soon.
Dan Mondragón SomeraAugust 3, 2020Small but serves its purpose. Has decent choices for food. A bit far from the train station
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?!
Bjarke KSeptember 30, 2018Super unprofessional, unhelpful and passive-aggressive airport security guy at the security check today. Even his boss was incompetent an not able to solve the situation his bad employee started.
EasyJet, quick small and fast. Security queues are managed well.
I have absolutely no idea why it is so fashionable to abhor this airport, though it is not anyhow worse than Stansted. Poor Luton, you do your very best, and I really appreciate it.
It’s getting better ! Will be great when there is a direct train line to avoid the airport bus
What a drab airport...not a good experience if it's your first time in the UK. Fly to Heathrow it's so much more convenient.
Manda PandaAugust 7, 2016Worst airport ever - difficult to access from central London, flights unreliable, bad customs service. Don't fly from here, worthwhile paying more for a ticket to fly anywhere but here.
This is the worst airport ever. It takes 1.5 - 2 hours to get to central London and what ever one saves in ticket prices will be spent in transportation back to London. A complete waste of time & £.
Mark IronManRecordsAugust 26, 2010If you have 30 bags to get into terminal building, go to delivery barrier and press the intercom. If you reason with the "highly trained staff" they will open the barrier and let you in to drop off
Mat CollisJune 2, 2016Not a great airport, always a stag do going on but plenty of shops and coffee etc past security.
Adhith ShanmugamAugust 13, 2014Please take the train to reach the town centre,it's faster than the shuttle bus.
Ian JefferyMay 2, 2013AVOID - Quite possibly the worst airport in London. Arrived 1hr 15m before flight at long stay car park - missed the flight! Poor signage, the place is stuck in a 1960s time warp when it was built.

"In contrast to the hateful space that is Luton Airport, the Aspire lounge is a dream. It’s compact, modern, there is a good spread of food, friendly staff and a handy bar."
