Their web site does say 27th November but no details of Parkway exit.
It looks great value if flying from Stansted, only £2 bus fare or a £5 taxi fare to Heathrow. I suspect that the Luton airport passengers won't get a look-in!

COMMITTEE:
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
DATE:
20TH OCTOBER 2010
It was part of the planning permission for the hotel that a temporary route will be provided so I would have thought it must open no later than the opening of the hotel. The hotel is located to the right of this artists impression of the yet to be built Sterling Place
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
DATE:
20TH OCTOBER 2010
The proposal is for the erection of a seven storey building comprising a 188 bedroom hotel and 1,897 sq metres of B1 office space together with 231 parking spaces. There will be a temporary pedestrian link from Luton Airport Parkway Railway Station across the site to Kimpton Road, which will remain in place until such time as the adjoining Stirling Place development, which provides a pedestrian link to Parkway Rail Station, is completed.
The Stirling Place development includes a new pedestrian/access link to Parkway Rail Station and the layout is designed to facilitate the provision of a bus link to the rail station boundary. As such given the sustainability of the location it is considered that the proposed parking provision is acceptable.

I noticed while I was standing on platform 1 yesterday morning that there is a footpath from the hotel leading to door straight on to platform 1. Don't know what you do about tickets as the ticket office is the other side of the 4 tracks!

Take away the Eastern Europeans who use Luton and those figures would be close to halved.
With over 860,000 passengers using Luton in October I would not call those figures bad as the airport is still operating close to capacity.

Don´t forget half-term school holidays were split this year running into November as we noticed here in Southern Spain but now unbelievably quiet - OK for us residents but not for business I´m afraid. It will be interesting so see if the November passenger figures show any increase.

why has Gatwick and London City performed (overall) better than Luton in relation to domestic flights for October? In addition Luton was once a main link to Ireland, but we seem to have lost almost all connections. Why?

In answer to your last question, a lot of the flights to Ireland were moved by a certain Irish "gentleman" to Stansted.
Luton still has flights to Dublin, Knock and Kerry plus Waterford until 6th January.

Especially to the likes of the Greek Islands and also Wizzair end their seasonal flights to Dubrovnik and Split at the start of September.

Was speaking to a couple of old Menzies acquaintances the other day, and they tell of whispers from a certain Asian airline that used to operate the other side of the M11...

Wingspan and length of the A333 too big for LTN isn't it? Their A332s don't arrive for another 2 years.
That's Air Asia X, I assume you're alluding too.
