There are a number of options for EZY to expand, especially seasonal summer and winter routes:
Madeira (Only seasonal 1x weekly with Thomson)
Dubrovnik
Kefalonia/Thessaloniki/Rhodes/Kos
Palermo
Verona or Bari
Corsica - very few options from London.
Winter Ski:
Innsbruck
Turin
Given the reduction in the Canaries, you have to wonder if Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura would be worth a try.
I think we would love to all see a Stockholm route though.

Monopoly
Personally I would like to see EasyJet take on the Irish routes that seem to be monopolized by Aer Lingus, Ryanair and BA!
Any passenger arriving from Ireland can get to central London just as quick as any passenger arriving at LHR or LGW and even quicker than those arriving at STN!

I'd love to see them try Jersey again.
Stockholm would be a great route addition & it's high time someone did Dubrovnik. A return to Cagliari would be good & maybe Verona, Bologna - stilla good few options to Italy.
What about a return to Athens?
Lots of possibilities

Seems that the airport wants to change the phasing of the redevelopment and have submitted a discharge of planning conditions.
PublicAccess v7.4 @ Luton Borough Council: Application Details (15/00159/DOC) and select the Associated Documents tab then view associated documents to download the PDF. The PDF also contains plans. Note this website is off air over night.
Phase 1 now includes a parallel taxiway to runway 08 and an expanded South Apron and the multi-storey car park. The multi-story car park and the 08 taxiway were part of phase 3.
Quick summery
Phase one
a. Dualling of the Airport access road
b. Minor changes to the Holiday Inn Roundabout to accommodate the new
road
c. Remodelling of the Central Terminal Area (CTA) and the Drop-Off Zone and
Taxi Rank
d. Remodelling of the junction into the Mid-Term Car Park (MTCP)
e. Construction of the multi-storey car park
f. Construction of the pedestrian bridge link across the CTA to the short term
car park or any agreed alternative
g. Construction of the link building between the old and new terminals
h. Extension of the baggage reclaim area within the terminal
i. Construction of the walkway to Stand 9L/60
j. Infills to Pier A
k. Construction of new Pier B.
These works will take place over two years between April 2015 and May 2017.
In advance of the main part of Phase 1, Enabling Works will be undertaken.
Enabling works do not constitute the commencement of development including:
pegging out, tree removal, demolition and removal of
buildings and other structures on the site, site clearance, service diversions and
/ or disconnections and / or temporary service provision, excavation of known
below-ground obstructions, perimeter fencing and security and signage.
2.3 These works, together with the provision of temporary buildings for contractors’ compounds and the creation of temporary access routes, under Part 4 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)
Order 1995 will take place prior to the formal commencement of the Phase 1
works.
Additional enabling works relate to the terminal improvements. These are
necessary to create the space to enable the built improvements to take place.
They include provision of a temporary arrivals hall in the currently fallow area in
the Old Terminal Building, changes in access to the building, demolition of the
current arrivals hall, preparation for the new security screening area and the
relocation of security equipment, preparation and repair of dilapidations on the
first floor, the erection of hoardings and other internal re-organisations.
Terminal building improvements
3.15 Items g-k in paragraph 1.6 above all relate to improvements to the terminal
building.
3.16 The works to the terminal building will commence with the construction of the
walkway to Stand 9L and the infills to Pier A. The extension of the baggage
reclaim area will follow. The main construction of the Link Building will
commence in summer 2015 when all of the internal reorganisation and the
provision of some additional internal capacity has been completed. The most
significant element of the construction is the new Pier B and link to it, which will
commence towards the end of 2015 and take some sixteen months to
complete.
Completion of the terminal construction works and therefore Phase 1 is due in early 2017.
Phase 2
5.1 Phase 2 comprises the construction of Taxiway Foxtrot and the extension to the
West Apron.
5.3 These works are planned to commence in 2017 and be complete by 2019.
Phase 3
Phase 3 will include the extension of the parallel taxiway at the eastern end and
the provision of additional stands on the northern apron
It also looks like between 2019 and 2026 Landmark will lose their two aprons

It is pretty cool to see airlines like ELAL, Iberia and Tarom on there. Back in the day when I was mini me at the spectators building in the 90s you went to Heathrow to see stuff like that. Never even gave it a second thought they would ever have services from LTN.
I am liking the Diversity, When you think about it.. It still isnt a huge variation of airlines. We are moving though.. we are rolling.. keep it up.
Interesting that only 3 out of 12 are British airlines also.

While you may be right that there may very few airlines left in 5 years, this worrying trend seems most likely to continue, though I'd say there's very much a case for a regional airline and Flybe would be the natural example.
So long as Delta are in the picture Virgin will remain a key player on the Atlantic at least, and the model that Jet2 has with the diversification of holiday package and freight flying should secure it's future...

Has there been confirmation yet of how La Compagnie will be handled at Luton?
Are they definitely using the main terminal? If so, presumably they'll have dedicated checkin, fast track security and their own lounge facilities?

Havent heard anything about "anything" concerning the frenchies to be honest. Not seen any promotions etc
wallp I think we discussed this a while back, A smaller airline/aircraft running the old ireland routes. Isle of Man and Jersey.. I am sure it could work lol I wouldnt bet my money on it but it makes more sense than a whole lot of other routes around the world.
Ah loganair, Forgot about them though my last experience of them was their ATP's operating for Manx or in a hybrid livery when I was young.

Yeah we did discuss these UK/Ireland routes. I'm still surprised that no one has taken up the opportunity to fly JER again. I still believe there's a market for the route, even on a seasonal basis.
Strange that La Compagnie aren't promoting the in airport service they'll be offering to passengers. I'd have thought it would be a key part of their sales pitch for these flights

No one has mentioned Stobart Air. Their Southend adventure has been a massive disaster with most of their Southend routes either pulled or cut back. A selection of Luton routes to say Waterford, Jersey and the IOM could help them turn a corner.
If Stobart Air is going to work at an airport near London, why would Luton work better than Southend ? Not saying it can't but just struggling to see how 2 prop aircraft at Luton would be profitable

Stobart has it's roots in Ireland from Aer Arann but it's owned by Eddie Stobart who own SEN and CAX airports and the railway lines serving SEN. Given the investment in SEN so far it's hard to see a move to LTN unless they decide to get rid of SEN and see LTN as a more lucrative venture.
