Why EGGW with it's awful reputation as a bucket and spade holiday launch point short runway and naf winter weather. There is no rail connection to the airport (don't tell me that parkway is the airport) and the M1 to J11 is always jammed.

Luton is the UK’s busiest business jet airport so it would seem that the high flyers like it. The M1 is now being widened with a new duel carriageway into the airport being started this month.

As for a bucket and spade airport Luton is no different to Stansted in its mix of passengers. Luton now has only 20% of its passengers on charter flights.
