Remember the good old days, when passing through an airport was a good experience? Then things went bad with the rise and rise of the low cost airlines, long traffic queues just to get to the drop off area, long queues to get airside, nowhere to sit, and just crowds everywhere.
Well for Luton anyway it has gone full circle. For passengers on the EL AL flights who are using Luton for the first time Luton must seem like a breath of fresh air compared to Heathrow.
Yes we all want to see Luton hitting 10 million passengers per year again but then we will all moan about Luton being a bad experience airport. For the passengers who are travelling today Luton it can only described as a pleasure.
Talking of good experiences I was in London on Monday and got to St Pancras just in time to catch the 16:30 East Midlands train to Nottingham. With the first stop being Luton Airport Parkway the train arrived on schedule at 16:50, just 20 minutes later.
