This year Luton is awash with flights to Copenhagen as Ryanair and Easyjet go head to head.
On my outbound flight with Ryanair I would say that the aircraft was somewhere between 85-90% full. On my returning easyjet flight the aircraft was full apart from the odd empty seat.
As for the airport at the peak of the morning rush it was fine. Maybe a wait of around 8 minutes to get through immigration and coming back despite being bussed to the terminal from the aircraft to get land side took under 10 minutes with no queues at border control.
I was quite impressed with the efficiency of the operation at Luton as it was like a well oiled machine. As for the redevelopment work everything happening is still behind the scenes but I did notice that the old Siverjet terminal is being gutted. Still no signs of a contractors village being built so the wait continues.

This was the old departure lounge but is now just used as a corridor and boarding area.
