    If you're looking for a power socket go to the hallway towards the higher gate #s (to the left) - the 2nd bench (as you round the corner) has a socket on the wall next to the far right seat

    The airport that takes the joy out of any trip. Crowded and bare. The only thing that could keep you busy while waiting for your flight is the cafe in the middle. There's also boots and pret manger.

    If you want full Luton Airport departure experience, get Linda for security check. She's a real b*tch! 😁

    When an airport lets you buy express lane passes to get through security, you know they have serious queue problems! Worth the £3 pp to avoid said queues. Still a rip off that you have to do that!

    The "priority lane" through security is very much worth doing if you're in a rush! Great London airport for budget airlines

    Landed at Luton for the first time yesterday and found it a very straightforward simple airport to navigate generally.. I had booked a bus transfer to London for just 9 euro and it was all really easy

    Very well organised, clean Airport. I would suggest to come way ahead of the flight as going through the security takes time. Good selection of shops before you reach the outbound gates.

    Best £3 I ever spent on the priority check in. They have little kiosks around the ground floor. Even if it seems empty believe me it will be busy at the check in so break the bank and spend £3.

    I’ve been going here since before i could walk and i can say with much pride that I absolutely love it here. The atmosphere, the airlines.. everything. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Don't leave your passport at home, even if you come from the EU. With it you can enter the UK in no time using the automatic passport/face scanners.

    The 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!

    The fastest security check experience of the last 5 years. My baggage slid through without them caring about anything in it. It's convenient albeit a bit concerning. 😂

    Much improved since a redesign, can exit and reenter security (for transfer) in 30mins at 9am Sat (not busy). Limited seating though, found sockets in The Smithfield pub airside.

    Far better since the renovations finished. Still perfectly serviceable to fly from, but recommend another airport for the return leg if arriving late. Relying on the station shuttle bus is risky!

    If you need to wait a while (not in the departure lounge), there are a few padded seats in the arrivals section, right next to the Onward Travel Centre. All other seats have a cold, hard metal base.

    Bring a gas mask for massive cloud of 2nd hand cigarette smoke you walk into when you leave the terminal building. Great place to put smoking area! Welcome to the uk ..fancy some cancer?

    I like it. Dunno why it gets so much stick. Used it for 8 years, see improvements every year. Security check is very quick.

    Short term parking has very tight parking spaces at the moment and there are lots of dead ends while the change over to new parking . Mid term may be best unless you like tricky parking

    I'd say it's worth taking a look at queues before buying the priority thing. I go trough regular security in less than 5 minutes.

    It was about time they opened a restaurant other than Frankie and Bennie's where holidays always started with crappy service and indigestion. You can now choose between Wasabi and Bella Italia.

    Rather 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.

    Feels like an old pig pen. And reaching the city is not so convenient. Need to take a bus to the train station and pay too much for the ride to Kings Cross.

    Even if you're an addicted to the caffeine, I'd never advice you to ask for a "massimo" capuccino at "Costa" cafe. It's far bigger than a big açaí mug that we brazilian use to buy.

    Absolutely shambolic airport. The worst organisation you’ll ever see. Border Control are a joke, expect to queue for hours to get through passport control. Then it’s a 90 min drive to London! Rubbish.

    Nine top gates (20 to 28) can seat up to seven people in total, on a single awkward bench. That must be a record.

    Don't forget to bring some coins with you. You'll have to buy a plastic bag for your liquids.

    If 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.

    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.

    The worst airport I have ever been. Horrible service and conditions. Also wizzair can ask you to pay extra £35 for your "large luggage" even if you always fly with it for free. Have fun )

    Used this airport several times now. It’s my favourite one. Not too big, easy to get around, lots of shops and food/drink choices. Easily accessible terminals :)

    If you don't need to use Luton airport - don't - it is the most inefficient airport any where in the world - and believe me I've seen a few - access to the airport is a joke and wait till your inside

    Stuff is easy to find, airport is not big. Only downside is that it has been under reconstruction for a while and that makes it look very ugly.

    Small. 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.

    When booking a train ticket to/from the airport, choose "Luton Airport" - not Luton Airport Parkway. The latter doesn't include fee for shuttle bus service.

    Good airport but far away from the city. Good wifi. Toilets are always crowded so you can use that for disabled person, because they are empty.

    It's now £4 to go through Priority Security. Worth the money on a Monday morning or Friday night.

    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.

    London's worst airport. Summer peak footfall with walking routes cluttered with seating. No dedicated lane for shuttle buses which get clogged in the regular traffic just to get out of the airport.

    Wizzair arrivals actually come in, when on time, as much as half an hour early - always check with FlighTracker before collecting someone.

    Be sure to pack a foldable seat in your hand luggage for the long packed wait at baggage collection.
