Terminal guide
Terminals at Luton
Please confirm your terminal when you book — it determines exactly where we drop you.
- One terminal serving all airlines, including easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and TUI
Drop-off
Where we set you down
Luton's drop-off is a paid zone in the multi-storey directly opposite the terminal, a two-minute walk from check-in. A free drop-off sits further out with a shuttle bus.
Pick-up
Meeting you on the way back
Arrivals are met in the terminal or at the short-stay car park. The walk from baggage reclaim to the terminal front is short.
Recommended departure times
When we suggest setting off
Because the drive is short, the airport's own check-in advice usually governs the departure time — normally leaving the Nene Valley around three hours before take-off.
Luton's terminal is compact; queues build quickly at peak times despite the short walk.
The M1 southbound between junctions 12 and 10 slows in the weekday morning peak.
The DART shuttle links the airport to Luton Airport Parkway station if you are meeting rail passengers.
