London Luton Airport Anmeldelser 

I travel from London airports regularly and Luton is worse for ground services such as luggage waiting times, car parks. I would advise to avoid it if you can.

think you guys need to go to Poland for training! no family friendly provisions, to Poland and back with a newborn baby, three bags and a pram and had to go up AND down several stair cases!!! One of your operatives actually squeezed past us to go down the stairs without even offering a hand!!! Three others on the same flight with the same problem!! On arrival back to the UK, there were no signs for "family friendly passport control" we wait with two other flights and 20 minutes later a lady came and shouted that "there is a family friendly aisle". going to baggage control, it was messy, lose tiles only to be filled in with cement!!! Not good enough!! I will never travel from Luton again, we once used to be the best in the world, we are lagging soooooo bad that the third world countries have better facilities!!!

This is the third time I have flown from Luton Airport, sadly I have no other option as it is the only UK airport to fly direct to my destination, trust me if there was an alternative I would use it. Luton has massively outgrown its capacity. It starts with finding somewhere to leave the car, then finding somewhere to sit once you have negotiated your way through security. We thought we would sort the latter this time by booking one of the VIP lounges, HA, thinking we would be able to just wait in comfort, well think again. We had to scan a QR code to be told we will get a text once space is available inside. It took an hour before we got the text. The whole experience just goes from bad to worse. They call the flight & we are herded into a stairwell with 200 other folks & there we stand waiting for the ground crew to let us onto the plane. It gets no better as when we flew back into Luton at 2am, we had to walk half a mile to passport control where we joined another queue for 45 minutes to get to an automated passport scanner. The lady on the radio heard to say, "they are already queued back to the escalator & another flight just landed." This airport is well past its sell by date & seriously needs upgrading or knocking down & re-building. Unless other London airports start flights to less popular airports I sadly I will have no other choice.

I had four days booked in Long Stay but only used one due to having to come back after an emergency. I emailed Luton Airport 'customer services' to ask about a refund but never even got a reply.

Very disappointed with my recent experience. When going through security my Hugo Boss perfume was taken away after supposedly failing an explosives test. This made no sense as the exact same bottle is sold in the airport’s own duty free shop. It felt unfair and frustrating to lose a legitimate product I had purchased elsewhere.

£7 for up to 10 minutes of pick up/drop off is a rip off and should be illegal. My pick up lasted 3 minutes, yet they know people have no other options for elderly/persons with needs so take take advantage and make you pay. Sad.

I have flown from Luton twice including today and both times I have had a good experience

Security was busy and the queue looked really long but we were through within 15 minutes which I think is more than reasonable.

The drop off is £7 which for the convenience of location I found again really useful, mid stay is free drop off but a little walk to terminal.

Moving through departures was easy and well signposted. I’m unsure why LTN gets a bad rep as an airport - A little perspective and understanding that travelling includes a little queuing would help but people expect to walk right through a business that handles tens of thousands of people a day

There is no reliable public transport to the airport so the only option is to drive a d park there. The mid stay car park is a complete mess, it's a good 20 minute walk from the terminal depending on where you are parked, the surface is gravel, spaces are not marked out and the one way system directs you back out onto the road. Absolute chaos of cars trying to find a space and getting stuck.

I usually get through security in a reasonable time but almost always get my bag inspected which indicates their scanners are probably not working properly,
staff who search the bags seem to hate their job (don't blame them).

Went to use the toilet and over half of them were broken or being cleaned causing long queues, the ones that were open stank.

Nowhere near enough seating, all the space is used up with pointless shops selling crap nobody needs and are always empty.

Departure gates are over the place and nowhere to sit while waiting.

I know they have done some renovations but that's not to improve passenger experience, merely to add places where they can spend their money.

Nowhere to charge your phone, Wi-Fi never works, nothing in the way of entertainment.

Lounges are worse than the dodgiest Weatherspoons but with even worse food.

Don't even get me started on the cost of the pickup and drop off!!

How this place has a license to operate I'll never know.

The worst airport ever. Have not been there for nearly a year but got two tickets for pick up & drop off where there is no signs visible at all. No barriers anymore to get more money and issue more tickets. Would advise to make info how to pay more clear & more visible for customers who are already paying a lot for plane tickets. How helpful considering nowadays expensive living costs we need more pick up zone tickets. Keep issuing! Will avoid this rip off place always!

I never had problems flying from Luton but this morning flying in was the worst and disgusting experience of entire my life!
I had paid 16£ ETA which let me stay and travel via UK a two years and I am EU citizen but airport security passport desk nr.8 made me check up like they are looking at some criminal. They asked translate my boarding pass, they investigated me shameless, they checked my mobile files, they spoken to me as if I were an escaped slave from the British masters couple centuries ago!

All in all an acceptable airport in my opinion. Bathrooms clean, charging points available, variety of stores and restaurants, strong wifi. I was also super happy finding a sign that indicates that they have a quiet room as I prefer quiet places to read, etc. But the problem is, they created a room which is the dedicated quiet room and also the kids play zone which is ridiculous as kids will not stay quiet so the whole quiet room idea is ruined. And also from the kid’s POV in reality their play zone is one dodgy airplane cardboard cutout with a few moving parts and a scale for their height.

Still not improved, still looks like a building site. Still having to pay to drop off. Disgraceful.

Pick up and drop off an absolute joke! Charging £5 for 5 minutes, barely time to get bags out of car, let alone say goodbye properly. No way to pay at the time! Would have done so if there was the option. Have to remember to do it online after the event. Hands up, I did forget, not surprising after a 2.5 hour journey home. Got a snotty parking fine in the post dated 21.8.25, took til 29.8.25 to arrive. Only have 14 days to pay the £25 charge to avoid it going up to £95. Fine letter already took 8 days to arrive though. If you’re going to charge £5 for 5 mins parking set up a facility to do it at the time of parking. Money grabbing ar£eholes 🤬

Flight delayed by two hours. Not airport fault. Found some space to sit. Had to clear table. Space around us was not cleared or cleaning in the 2 hour wait.

When kettled into departure gate had to wait on staircase no doors open to give us air. Staff oblivious of the situation.

On return flight doors to terminal locked could not get in. Had to call down the line to get a member of staff to attend.

This is an awful start and end to any trip. As others have said the drop off and collection is chaotic.

Why isn’t the train from Parkway free? This would help ease congestion.

Not fit for purpose.

Airport full and not fit for purpose. Cheap flights but not a compensation for the environment here.

The airport is not fit for purpose. Had to que up for the toilet 20 minutes, state of the toilets are disgusting, sanitary bins overflowing, toilet paper on the floor. The airport is so busy, minimal space and seating. Honestly not the start to my holiday I was expecting in the UK!

I was ripped off when dropping a passenger off. i follow road traffic signs and prepared to pay my parking charge. instead i got a snotty fine in the post which i am not going to legally challenge however what a diabolical practice . I trust someone is getting paid more than they are worth to facilitate this rip off system. You are what is wrong with Britain today

So many delays! Delays with easyJet as the baggage belts weren’t working.
We were waiting over an hour to just drop off our bags off, was ridiculous!

No where in Luton airport supplied milk for me to fill my toddlers bottle up, not WHSmith, not boots or anywhere? No cartons of cows milk or anything and when we had delays I couldn’t be queuing in Costa when it was a last call on our gate.
LUTON NEED TO DO BETTER FOR TODDLER MUMS OUT THERE!
I was so ashamed by this, what do mums do when they need milk for their toddlers?
They also need to start doing baby and family queues for security, make it easier to navigate through!
Luton need to do better, not the best.
