Update provided to our work today by LLA:
Here's a brief update on construction work at LTN over the next few months.
From 1 January the Short Stay Car Park will close to enable building work to start on a new 1,900 space multi-storey car park and new drop off zone (DOZ). The existing multi-storey car park will be used instead.
Fitting out of shops in airside departures is now underway and they will start to open early Feb.
The shared landside arrivals and departures area will be available from March with new shops including a larger M&S and Pret A Manger.
The new DOZ opens at the end of May and construction of the Mass Passenger Transit (MPT) station begins on the old DOZ site. This monorail up the hill from Parkway station is targeted to be completed in 2021.
From early June buses and hangar 89 visitors will not have to go through the barriers... Barriers will only be on the exit of each of the DOZ and multi-storey car park.

The LLA report of the opening date of the Drop Off Zone for May is also strange as it is meant to open on the ground floor of the new multi-storey so either it will open in a building that will be still under construction and only a shell or they are going back to an old plan to open a temporary drop off zone, which would account for the whole short term car park closing.
With both the exiting multi-storey and short term car park full last summer I wonder where all the cars will go from the short term car park next year? Certainly from January 1st there does not seem to be an option to pre-book the short term car park.
Both on the old and new plans for the Drop Off Zones cars from H89 and buses still had to go through barriers to get out of the CTA that were separate from the Drop Off Barriers.
With the construction village gone after the opening of the taxiway extension I was expecting it to just relocate for the other taxiway projects but it does not appear to have been relocated.

I am thinking that when it first opens it will be via the temporary entrance as the front of the terminal is just a pile of rubble. Stairs and ramps need to go in as the building is higher than the bus station together with retaining walls and that new canopy still seems to be a long way off.

Let the price war begin...
easyJet have started the price war to Iceland!
June and May plenty of fares for around £33 LTN-KEF!
And that's the return fare, not one way!
Wizzair are being more realistic and pricing the fares at around £50-60 return.

Wizz
Looks like Wizz are also cutting a couple of their less profitable routes from Luton, flights to Brno, Czech Republic end on 8th January and flights to Szczecin, Poland end on 12th January.

Only 2 departures and 1 arrival on Christmas Day, which is the smallest amount of activity through the terminal for years. From memory Monarch was the biggest player on Christmas Day.
In those lighter years in the past the airport had very restricted ATC hours but this year the airport seems to be fully open no doubt for biz jet movements despite the airports having all its airliner movements within a 1 hour and 5 minute period.

Firstly, are the new WOW routes point to point (Athens etc.) or are they all doglegged through their main hub?
Secondly, with the next round of works, remind me not to use LTN in 2018 if I can possibly help it ...
