The problem being that passengers from Luton would have no idea about how long it would take to pass though the airport and the fact that the aircraft might arrive late on stand.
As a side note the dearest single fare listed from Luton Airport Parkway to St Pancras I found costs £304 and is called a off-peak carnet ticket. £4.90 can be added to that to get from the terminal once the Dart opens.
A carnet ticket is a book of tickets so that £304 needs to be divided by however many are in the book to find the cost per ticket. Usually it’s like 10 tickets and should be a discounted rate for buying more and they have a bit of flexibility.
