3 pointless posts from 3 pointless people who contribute nothing to this thread and can only slagging people off.
It does come across to me in this forum, unless you are one of the longstanding posters your comments will regularly get shot down or ignored. While the established posters have a license to write complete rubbish at times, that is of little of no relevance to the forum!

On landing yesterday from touchdown, being coached off the aircraft, picking up the luggage at the baggage belt, to walking out of the terminal. Total time less than 15 minutes. Well done easyjet, Menzies and the Airport Authority

Oh dear think yourself a comedian do you LTNman?
I had not judged you so how dare you judge me or anyone else by making such comments as that above. You have no idea who hides behind their username, however some people use it as a sheild in an attempt to make out that they are some "tree of knowledge" in the aviation field. So I'd suggest you keep such comments to yourself and don't be personal just because you're hidden behind your computer screen. Grow up!
The point we are making is that this whole "my airport is better than yours" when it comes to the Stansted vs Luton debate and all the anger over cross subsidies that the BAA have made, it's a business not a hobby! $hit happens get over it! Fact is that both airports will always exist because there is a market for both, the whole world doesn't revolve around junction 10 of the M1 motorway in the same way it doesn't revolve around an airstrip off the M11.
I have just made a point (like the other two turds) that such comments happen again and again thru this and the Stansted thread. We've heard it all before so many times and it's boring me among others. So throw some worthy comments amongst the pigeons next time rather than trying to act like a numpty.

Couldn't agree more! Well said! 
Oh dear, I can feel my eye lids getting heavy as I read this drivel.
Spain gave us the 3 tenors and now this thread has given us the 3 turds

You have been reported to mods.
Well I thought it was funny but I will offer apologies to those people I have offended. Of course you will be offering an apology to Buster.
Anyway lets move on and talk about Luton.

Had similar experience on 31/3 returning from TFS on ZB. Despite parking on six pack, straight walk thro' Border Control, luggage waiting on belt and out within 20 mins max. Well done to all !!!!

Birmingham base and a new director of flight ops at Twinjet
Looks like supply and demand kicking in?

Twinjet has taken the 'reluctant' decision to move its Airbus Corporate Jet from Luton airport after aircraft parking charges increased by over 200% late last year.
Now based at Birmingham, the ACJ is regularly used by heads of state and overseas royal families. Twinjet reports that Birmingham's parking charges are less than a quarter of Luton's and the move enables the company to keep operations efficient at times when the aircraft is not in the air or overseas.

Twinjet occupies 2 office blocks behind the TUI sports and social club and is physically going nowhere, just their 319, which doesn’t spend that much time at LTN anywhere.
Just means that they will have to fly the aircraft in empty when required.

Sorry folk on here, the "chip on my shoulder" has been weighing me down!
Actually, no chip on my shoulder (although my nick-name comes from my rugby playing days when I demolished a good friends collar bone).
I would never consider myself a 'Luton' expert, but watching and hoping that Stansted fails, makes me sleep better at night.
Stansted grew from cross subsidisation.
Luton has faltered, faltered and faltered again.
Luton has it's millstone (LBC), but thy have never faltered from their 'Town Hall view'.
Stansted has it's own millstone, the fact that it shifts millions of passengers on the backs of ex Heathrow passengers and it bleeds it's parent dry!
Anyway, for those that know me 'UP THE HATTER's"!
Any chance of the BAA sponsoring LTFC!

Looks like these new routes are replacing the twice daily frequency to Warsaw, as this is being stopped after the 5th July.
Considering the current climate, it is good to see the route being replaced with these new routes. If easyJet had wanted to, it could well have just been as simply to ground the aircraft for the times of day it would usually be flying to Warsaw.
I haven't heard easyJet complain, but their has been major complaints by other LCC including Wizzair, that Warsaw are dramitically increasing their fees and many routes for LCC would be unviable to the airport. So it seems easyJet may have pulled out of the route unusally quietly for them.
It could be a win win for LTN, Wizzair could possible add greater frequencies to Warsaw to replace the gap from easyJet, while easyJet flys these new routes.

Milan
So Easy are picking up where Ryanair dropped off and eventually at the same frequency.
Does anybody know why Ryanair dropped Milan in the first place? They could have operated the route with a BGY based aircraft if they needed the LTN based for other routes.
PAX figures seemed ok so presumably it was yield.
Wish Easy well on the route-should be a winner- just cant help thinking Ryan could utilise LTN far more with out- based aircraft.
They seem reluctant to do this -think SNN was the only route they tried it on.
Any views?
