Just returned from flying in and out of Luton for the first time in a couple of years.
Going out we had a 0555 departure (ugh!), so no problems, dropped our bag off at the self service bag drop, which was easy and through security in 5 - 10 minutes. I dread to think what is would be like if you departed later. By the time we boarded at 0530 the departure lounge was heaving with not a chair in site and people sitting on floors everywhere.
Coming back last night was a breeze. Landed at 2320 and drove out the Mid-term car park at 2345. That was after parking on Stand 11, bussed to the terminal and collecting a bag. It was helped by knowing what goes on as opposed to a plane load of pax with airport brain! Most rushed off the a/c, whereas we were off nearly last, so last on the bus, therefore first off, which meant my son and I were first into the Immigration Hall! Crowds of people but no-one using the E-Passport machines. Bag arrived on the carosel at the same time as us, bus to the mid-term and home by 0015. 55 minutes from landing to getting into my front door, would have been quicker but for road works on the A505 between Stopsley and Hitchin!
