Luton Airport

✅ Trip Verified | Very little positive about this airport. Drop off quite a long walk to terminal buildings without cover for much of it. Many people smoking outside right next to no smoking signs. Departure boards side on to seating areas so you cannot read them from the majority of seating positions. Woefully inadequate toilet facilities with both women and men constantly queuing. Bags of space in the duty free areas but seating areas cramped and congested. I have visited many airports but this has to be one of the worst. Would have given 0 out of 10 if possible.

Not Verified | This airport is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the UK, poor service from arrival to departure. It's fine to put nice shops in but what about the rest, got to be the worst airport I have ever used. Wanted to give a zero score.

✅ Trip Verified | Worst airport ever visited. In the process of modernisation outside so entry via a narrow, dirty path. Automated bag drop not busy mid morning. Security ok. Departure area women's toilets very dirty. On arrival back from an internal UK flight checked-in hold luggage not on usual carousels and no information with regards to finding it. Milled around with other passengers waiting for luggage 30 mins. Was told by unhelpful and aggressive staff the luggage was in another part. Avoid this airport if possible

Not Verified | Normally fly from Stansted as this airport is slightly closer. My experience of Luton was awful from start to finish including horrendous queues at the e-passport fast lanes at 11pm and the bus driver going 2 minutes after we arrived at the stop for the long-term car park despite seeing us and having an empty bus. Will not be going from Luton again!

✅ Trip Verified | The worst airport experience ever. Took over an hour to drop a bag, queues filled the hall. Desks understaffed which caused the delay. The situation exacerbated by travellers having to queue jump as they were about to miss their flight. We arrived two and a half hours early to allow for breakfast, which we did not have time to do. I asked a member of staff if it was always this bad, to be told "today was not busy". On our return queued in the walkway for passport control which took nearly an hour to get through. I understand they have spent a significant amount on "improvements". This has clearly not been spent with its prime purpose of getting passengers through the airport. Never again!

Not Verified | Luton is by far the most convenient airport for us, a half hour drive or taxi ride. It would be so nice if the endless improvements and additions would be completed - I believe the latest estimate is 2021. There has been a big improvement in the departure area which now offers a great range of restaurants and cafes. On the other hand, it is at present a long uphill walk from the drop off area to the terminal building. The improvements in the concourse do not extend to the departure gates. We still have to walk down long, narrow corridors and sometimes have to stand and queue in the corridors as well. If you find seating at all it is likely to be inadequate.

Not Verified | 40 mins after landing, am still waiting for the luggage together with desperate people from 3 flights. The belt isn't moving, the only vending machine where people could buy water is out of order. Disgusting.

Awful, awful, awful. Took 2 hours to clear arrivals. I know the airport is council-owned – so by default it is badly operated with minimum customer care – but as competition will hot up for passengers, I seriously recommend Luton gets its act together.

Not Verified | What an awful experience, I travel the world on business most weeks and this was the worst experience ever. 1 hour 15 to clear security at Luton, 9 min at Zurich on the return. Luton doesn't employ enough staff and they seem to be poorly trained. My luggage was flagged for extra inspection, the problem? The shaving gel that was sealed in a plastic bag they needed to check despite the fact its cleared 10 other International airports so far this year. After another wait I was then begrudgingly told its OK. Avoid Luton airport if at all possible

Not Verified | Our Easyjet flight was cancelled at 21.00 from Gatwick to Inverness. It would have meant we would have to stay at Gatwick from Fri 19th July for a further 3 nights at Gatwick. We eventually got a taxi to Luton from Gatwick and were got to fly on the 20th July to Glasgow. We went to the airport on the Sat morning to the most unhelpful airport staff we have ever met. My husband is disabled and has restricted walking mobility. We went to Assistance to be told we would need our boarding pass before we would get assistance. We went to check in and were told we would have to join the huge queue that was there, until one caring young woman took us through the tensa barrier and checked us in. In a matter of minutes. We could then go and get assistance booked prior to our flight. We got assistance and were hurried to the departure lounge with my husband, asked if he could not stop to take a coffee with him and the answer was no. The place is filthy and unwelcoming. I think it needs a serious shake up and clean up. Hopefully I will not have to use this airport again anytime soon.
