Frequently Asked Questions
How early to arrive at Luton?
For parking at Luton we advise you to be present at the car park or at the departure hall at least 2.5-3 hours in advance. This is because Luton Airport advises you to be present at the check-in desk 2 hours in advance. The three hours may sound a bit long, but it gives you all the time you need to drop off your car, take the shuttle to Luton, and gives extra time to spare in case of traffic delays. Arriving early ensures you can relax and travel stress-free.

If you have chosen Luton Park & Ride, you will take a shuttle bus to the terminal, after parking your vehicle. Most times you can immediately board the shuttle, but it is sometimes the case that the shuttle bus has just left, and you will have to wait for its return to the car park. Shuttles take a maximum of 30 minutes between rides.

If you have booked Luton Meet & Greet, we advise you to arrive at the meeting point 3 hours in advance.
