The journey out of Luton from 16:00 to 18:00 can be a nightmare but all of London’s airports have congestion problems at peak times. There are plans afoot to dual the road from where the dual carriageway ends at the moment and build a new road in a cutting between the runway and the offices on the corner of Airport Way.
Departures are set to move to the first floor of the new terminal, which is presently empty. This will happen when walkways and air bridges are built. Again the airport has planning permission for this work. The old terminal will then be partly demolished.
