London to Luton Airport

As well as short and long distance commuter services, East Midlands Trains provides a great way for those coming from central London to get to Luton Airport. 

London Luton Airport is one of the six main international airports in the capital. It mainly serves domestic and European flights, although there are some services to countries in North Africa and certain parts of Asia.

As Luton Airport doesn't have its own designated train station, you’ll need to catch the train from London St Pancras to Luton Airport Parkway which takes around 40m on average. From here, you can hop on the shuttle bus which takes around 10m to reach the airport. The entire journey usually takes just under an hour in total.

If you're heading to London Luton Airport, you will need to buy a train ticket all the way to "Luton Airport" to ensure your ticket on the airport shuttle bus is included. If you only buy a ticket to Luton Airport Parkway, the cost of the shuttle won't be included and you'll have to pay for a Single or Open Return ticket for the shuttle to get to the airport terminals.
