The expanded terminal is indeed, an amazing advance for Luton and once the rest is upgraded - rumoured to be by the end of August, it might well start to attract some additional airline business.
Bit odd though, opening it in July without having the air conditioning working.
Was this intentional or just due to the system not being made to work properly?
Some of the "old timers" at Luton might have thought that air conditioning's a bit of an unnecessary luxury. Unfortunately for them, times have moved on since Lorraine Chase and it's what Luton's competition provides!!
As I understand it, the 'shopping mall' concept is exactly as planned. LLAO enagaged a multinational retail marketing consultancy to advise and recommend the optimum layout for what's called "maximum impulse spend". The result is as seen.
As for the lack of WC signange - who the hell forgot it??
Still, despite the minor glitches, on the routes and services that Luton can support, it's certainly going to give BAA at Stansted a run for its money - and about time too!!
