hi

can anyone tell me if there is somewhere decent to get a meal at Luton Airport? I will be flying from there in a few weeks but I have got a coach journey from birmingham first, so would like a meal before we fly as we are on ryanair there will not be any provided. Is Luton a good airport?

Thanks

Luton Airport

We are blessed with a Burger King

at Luton Airport, together with an airside 'restaurant' which serves pizzas/cafe style food (which is very expensive). I believe the airside pub serves food also but agree with Brian, eat before you get there!

Luton Airport. New Area Opens

I have just received an e-mail from EasyJet saying that the new extension at Luton Airport opens today and that you should allow more time to find your way around. This a news item from the airport web-site :-

Well I think a taxi might be expensive. You could get the train, the station isn't too far away from the airport, but would probably mean going into London then out again. They may even have coaches from the airport into London, then the train.

Just found the following information

Also there is a free shuttle bus to the station from the airport.

Luton Airport

Hi there

When we have flown from Luton Airport we always use the BCP airport parking facility. It is a short trip from the main terminal but they provide a courtesy bus to and from terminal and it is open 24 hours. We have always found them very reasonable price wise. Try taking a look at http://www.bcponline.co.uk.

Luton Parking

Book your parking through Holiday Extras with Airparks £20.93 for a week £2.99 a day. just off the M1 transport all the time. just great value.
I checked for the week 3rd April to the 10th.

We always use the Airparks at Slip End, cheaper than the rest and only 10 minutes from the airport.

thanks sandy
Its years since I travelled from Luton normally go from Gat, Hrow or Stansted. Ive just read your link above about the refurbishment, I didnt know this had happened so it will be really interesting to see it in all its glory, i'm hoping there will be somewhere decent to eat there.

'Jet crash closes Luton airport'

Why do newspapers and the media like to sensationalise these very rare events in this way:?:

From what I understand, the aircraft involved in the incident did not crash. It simply overshot the runway.

In addition to which, although most departing flights were not affected, and there was some limited disruption to inbound flights, the airport was certainly not 'closed' :!:

Cynical is my middle name

Departing flights certainly were affected.

My Mum was flying from luton to Murcia yesterday and rang to say that nothing was moving in or out of the airport and it was pretty much pandamonium - they were being bused to Stansted to take off from there. They eventually took off 4.5 hrs late which probably wasn't bad seeing as they went from an entirely different airport.

the runway was closed for about 3 hrs but its the knock on effect with diverted aircraft in the wrong places

Benidorm Here I Come

If I drove my car off the road and into a muddy ditch I'd describe it as a crash.
I think the media were right in alerting the public to the disruption this accident caused.

Me too Pippy
I'd far rather they reported it than hushed it up. I'm sure anybody who was there had a dreadful day staff and passengers alike. It's amazing how blaze people can be when not involved themselves!
