Well, after writing a few reviews on other airports around Europe based on just one or two visits, I thought that it was about time I wrote one on my 'home' airport of London Luton (LTN). Luton is found about 30 miles north of London and is the 4th largest London airport after Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted.

Upon arrival to Luton there is a simple colour coded signpost ... more

I hadn't been to Luton Airport for about three years until I flew to Majorca from there in June. I heard that they had been making great improvements to the departure lounge and that, indeed, work was still very much in progress. Well was I disappointed with one of our 'premier' package holiday airports? Yep, you bet. What a tip! We were flying out at around midnight. The airport was not too busy. There were a few Easyjet flights going out - all seemed to be delayed too. Plus three or four departures for the Med. Facilities were desperately limited for the ordinary traveller. They have a 'food ... more
