Sobre London Luton Airport

London Luton Airport (LTN) is one of London's main airports, in Luton, Bedfordshire, England, United Kingdom. It sits about 1.7 miles east of Luton town center and about 35 miles north of central London, close to the M1.

easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and Jet2 have bases here, and most flights are short-haul across Europe, with routes to Romania, Poland, Albania and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe, to Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands, and to Israel and North Africa. The airport handled more than 17.5 million passengers in 2025.

All flights use one terminal. Check-in, security and arrivals are on the ground floor, and the departure lounge and the gates, spread over three piers, are upstairs.

From the airport, most travelers head into central London, to St Albans and the towns of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, or north to Milton Keynes. The Luton DART carries passengers between the terminal and Luton Airport Parkway station, where Thameslink and East Midlands Railway trains run to London St Pancras.

Consejos de llegada a London Luton Airport

All flights arrive at the single terminal. You clear UK passport control first: many visitors can use the automatic eGates, while others wait in line at the staffed desks, and lines can build when several flights from Europe land together. Most visitors who do not need a visa, including EU and US citizens, now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before traveling to the UK.

After baggage claim, use the green channel if you have nothing to declare or the red channel if you do, and walk out into the arrivals hall on the ground floor.

For trains, follow the signs to the Luton DART, a few minutes' covered walk from the terminal. It runs 24 hours a day to Luton Airport Parkway station, where Thameslink and East Midlands Railway trains leave for London St Pancras. Coaches and local buses leave from the bus station in front of the terminal, and black cabs wait at the rank beyond Bus Bay A. Pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.

The UK is on GMT in winter and BST (GMT+1) in summer, and uses pounds sterling.
