About Luton Airport

Luton is a single-terminal airport used predominantly by budget and charter carriers, handling a mix of European and some longer routes.

The terminal is compact compared to Heathrow or Gatwick. Check-in, security and departures are generally straightforward to navigate, though the airport gets busy during peak school holiday periods.

Airlines Flying from Luton Airport

Live arrivals and departures are available on the official London Luton Airport website. Key carriers include:

The Luton DART

Luton Airport is connected to Luton Airport Parkway railway station by the DART, an automated people-mover that replaced the older shuttle bus link. The DART takes a few minutes and runs regularly.

If you are travelling to Luton by train, the DART is a useful connection. However, getting from Aylesbury to Luton Parkway by train requires going via London, which makes the journey considerably longer than a direct road transfer from your door.

A direct transfer collects you at home and drops you at the Luton departures entrance, bypassing the DART and any rail connections entirely. Full ticket prices and times: see our Luton DART guide.

Luton Airport Drop-Off

Luton Airport charges for vehicle drop-off at the terminal. The drive-up drop-off charge at Luton currently stands at £7 for a short stop. If you are being dropped off in a private car, you will pay this.

For our transfers, the drop-off charge is included in the price quoted to you. There is nothing extra to pay on the day.

Departures from Aylesbury to Luton

Arrivals at Luton

For return transfers, provide your inbound flight number when you book. Your driver tracks the arrival and adjusts if the flight is running late. Once you have cleared baggage reclaim, they will be waiting in the arrivals area.
