About Luton Airport

London Luton Airport (LTN) handles approximately 18 million passengers per year and is one of the UK's six main airports. It is the closest major airport to Aylesbury, Milton Keynes, Bedford and much of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.

Luton operates from a single passenger terminal — no terminal confusion, no shuttles between departure points. The terminal sits roughly 35 miles north of central London on the M1 corridor.

For European short-haul travel, Luton is almost always the cheaper, faster choice over Heathrow or Gatwick from this part of the country. Most flights from Luton are 1-5 hours to European, Mediterranean and North African destinations.

Airlines flying from Luton

Luton is dominated by low-cost European carriers. Major airlines include:

easyJet
Largest carrier at Luton — hundreds of European routes
Wizz Air
UK base for Wizz Air — Central and Eastern Europe
Ryanair
Major hub — European budget destinations
TUI Airways
Package holidays — Mediterranean, Canary Islands
El Al
Direct Tel Aviv flights
SunExpress, Pegasus
Turkey, North Africa

Luton drop-off charge — £5 per vehicle

Luton Airport charges £5 per vehicle for drop-offs at the terminal forecourt (the "Express Set-Down"). This is paid by all private cars, taxis and private hire vehicles.

The £5 charge is included in all our quoted fares — no extras at the airport, no surprise bills. The mid-stay car park is free for the first 10 minutes, but adds 10-15 minutes to the journey via the DART people-mover.

DART shuttle — Luton Airport Parkway to the terminal

The DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit) is a 3-minute automated people-mover connecting Luton Airport Parkway railway station to the terminal. It opened in 2023 and replaced the previous shuttle bus.

DART fare: £4.90 single. For passengers booking a door-to-door taxi this is irrelevant — your driver drops you at the terminal forecourt, no DART needed.

Return transfers — Luton to your town

We provide return Luton transfers at the same fixed price as the outbound leg. The driver tracks your flight in real time and meets you in arrivals after baggage reclaim with a name board.

Free wait time: up to 60 minutes after landing. No extra charge for delayed flights caused by the airline. Book both legs together to lock in the same fixed price both ways.
