Awfully designed, cramped and unfit to handle the amount of passengers that it does, with large check-in queues. Better off going to Stansted that offers almost the same flights but with a better designed terminal.

Getting to the airport by train and bus is relatively long and pricy. Terminal building is practical but a bit shabby, lines can be long during rush hours.

Overall good airport as a home of low cost airlines. But after a priority boarding they locked us in a small staircase for 10-15 minutes. No air to breathe, it was winter so everybody wearing jackets sweating from heat. My wife was feeling a little faint. It really ruined my Luton e

Just an all round awful Airport... avoid like the plague... an utter embarrassment to the U.K. The Airport itself looks old and decrepit, it looks like someone made an Airport out of their back garden. Problems start when you arrive... nightmare to drop anyone off and there?s no whe

This airport mainly holds budget airlines, so this airport obviously compromises on luxuries. Immigration is the worst part of this airport. It took so long to immigrate into the UK unfortunately. Overall this airport is ok-ish for people who are fine with compromises on luxury

Awful Airport, Avoid unless absolutely necessary.

Filthy dirty facilities, queues everywhere, massive lack of seating. Even the long stay car part was atrocious with potholes and temporary fencing everywhere.

Terrible Airport.

Welcome back to the UK (World's?) worst airport. Tatty, stark white corridors, massive queue for passports, unfriendly staff. Luton has it all.

Dreadful airport. Voted worst in UK and you can see why. Huge revamp has resulted in glitzy new shopping mall - and same old crappy, cramped lounge (aka cattle shed) for the passengers.

Luton recently voted worst airport in UK and it is painfully obvious why. They've spent a fortune on a plush new Duty Free arcade but the seating area (where people spend most of their time) has not changed. It is small, cramped and massively overcrowded. A truly horrid experience.

During current expansion, the airport is a building site, bit in and out of the terminal.
Security queues are long and chaotic - not a pleasant experience (and I was flying at noon, not 7am!)

There should be a 0 star option, horrible airport! Staff rude in the baggage check-in desks. The terminal is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. It was worse on the way back, well done to Wizzair for getting us to the airport 20 minutes early and for the professional crew. Sad

When you are going to Luton make sure you get a train ticket to Luton Airport and not Luton Airport Parkway. You have to pay for a bus (with cash) at Luton Airpot Parkway. So if you buy a train ticket to Luton Airport the bus fare is included and it's easier once you get there

Luton is incredibly busy and there is barely place to sit or wifi to speak of. Landside most things are ok, but once you get through security there are just too many people. Probably worse than Charleroi...

Self-bag drop with Easyjet was seamless, security took a while with only 2 lanes open at mid-day. Departures area was busy but walking thru this area to the gates area, found a very quiet spot at Gate 28, where no flights were departing from, offering fantastic views of parking area

Getting to the airport is okay. You take the train from London to Luton Airport Parkway and then take the shuttle bus to the actual airport. Total travel time is about 35 - 40 minutes. WiFi is not really worth it. Check-In was a desaster, missed our flight due to long queues and had

Well Luton, has certanily needs a lot of improvement but I think they're on the right track with all the innovations they are doing at the moment.

I'm just hoping that it could live up to the standards many travelers like me are expecting when it comes to the whole experience

Now with all the refurbishment work done at Luton Airport, the arrivals area is worse then ever.
Luton was never my favorite, but on my latest arrival I promised myself not to fly to or from here anymore.

Immigration and customs at LTN is a shambles. There were long queues snaking from the passport control gates and booths due to lack of staff. Customs and immigration is cramped and not fit for purpose.

Airport currently undergoing major renovation so the check-in area is not in a very good state, most shops are closed and empty, however once in the departure lounge everything is fine. Plenty of food outlets and some free wi-fi.
Arrivals generally good, pretty fast moving queue

Good trip Airport is nice. Facilities are good Not enough seats at the airport to sit, while waiting, unless you sit at some food place. There is plenty of shops in my opinion, so you can make any last-minute shopping for any neccesary items or for some little gifts or souvenirs.

Arrived in plenty of time for my flight, my FIRST flight, i might add.
Managed to book in okay, queues weren't too bad, only had to wait about 20 minutes to book in.
Informed a few staff it was my first flight and wasn't sure what to do or where to go, they were quite helpful.

Luton is a horrible airport, especially if you arrive past 23.00. Tranfers means to London are extremely limited and sparse, and the whole airport is shutdown - no food. WiFi is free for only 30 min, and the waiting time for luggage can reach 50 minutes.

This is the most awful airport I've ever seen. Avoid it if you can, rather pay 10% extra money. Crowdy, slow, hard to access. This is a really cheap airport. Terrible.
