Open 24/7Getting to London Luton
Luton is north of London in Bedfordshire, a big base for budget and holiday flights. From Kent it's one of the longer London airport runs, crossing the Thames at Dartford and heading round the M25 to the M1.
We run Luton transfers with pickups timed for the crossing and the M25, so you're not chasing your gate.
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.
