From Minster-on-Sea, London Luton is about 88 miles by road, usually 1 hr 35 – 2 hr 5 door to terminal. It's the sixth-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Minster-on-Sea. That's around 5 minutes quicker than from Sheerness, because Minster-on-Sea is closer to the Sheppey Crossing.
The usual route is the A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25 and A1(M). Because it crosses the Thames at Dartford, timing matters: queues build quickly at busy times, so we always build in a margin.
Luton has a single terminal. From the road we drop you at the terminal; the Luton DART shuttle only matters if you're arriving by train at Luton Airport Parkway. The Dartford Crossing and the northern M25 are the main things to plan around.
