Heathrow to Luton: what to know

Luton is the closest of the other London airports to Heathrow by road, and one of the most searched connections: long-haul arrivals at Heathrow picking up a European flight from Luton, or the other way round.

The route is the M25 clockwise to the M1, then a few miles north to the airport. Without a car it means a train into London and another out again, then the shuttle from Luton Airport Parkway to the terminal, which is a lot of changes with suitcases.

The usual route is the M25 north, then the M1.

  • Straight to the terminal

    By train, the last leg is the shuttle from Luton Airport Parkway station up to the terminal. By car we drop you at the terminal forecourt itself.

  • Luton's drop-off zone charges

    Luton Airport charges for using its terminal drop-off area. Ask us when you book how this is handled for your journey, so nothing is a surprise.

  • Tell us the Heathrow terminal

    Heathrow's terminals are far enough apart to matter. Give us your arrival terminal and flight number, and the driver meets you in the right arrivals hall.
