Yesterday the two current canopies looked awful with dust turning parts of them brownish.
I hope they have some type of self cleaning covering or that is going to be a big mistake on the airports half to choose white.

Funny you should say that, as I was thinking the same. Give it a while and it will turn streaky grey with the dirty rain and start to match the terminal. Underneath it will turn nicotine yellow.

Good grief. The 'design' of this airport goes from bad to worse. Skimpy bus shelters made from unsuitable material which is impossible to keep clean. Narrow shelters which will lead to passengers huddled beneath blocking movement of travellers in front of the terminal. No cover for passengers loading and unloading at the side of the coach. Narrow bus shelters giving little protection from the horizontal rain which frequently presents itself on this exposed site.
A large, self cleaning glass roof supported by cantilever structure is what's required with sufficient overhang to allow boarding to be completed in the dry, while the rear of the bus is open to ensure diesel fumes are ventilated.
I'm not talking the size of St Pancras but something along the lines of Farringdon station.

You mean a slightly bigger version of this? Comfort, cover and style was always going to be sacrificed. I spent 2 years looking forward to this and I end up a couple of Greengrocers awnings .
Actually this is better than what we have ended up with as at least this is a matching colour rather than the carbuncle that is bolted to the terminal front

The CAA have just released some figures showing how much the airport has expanded over the last five years. In 2012 the airport handled 75,783 commercial passenger and cargo flights this rose in 2017 to 107,270 a rise of 40 per cent. The figures do not include empty positioning and executive movements.

Shame the A321's will not be operating from Luton, maybe in a few years when easyJet order some more and realise the cost savings and efficiency on the aircraft, like Wizz has.
I believe all thirty that have been ordered, are headed for Gatwick.
It'll be interesting to see how the turn-round time's work for the EZY A321's.....With 235 seats it'll be a challenge to do in 35 mins if boarding solely via Jet bridge in places like GVA

Basic question: I've not used the rail link before. When I purchase the ticket to Luton Parkway - does that include the shuttle bus ticket? Cheers.

No, you have to buy a ticket to Luton Airport as that will include the shuttle. A ticket to Luton Airport Parkway is just that and nothing more.
Yes to cut costs down they painted the grass by the runway with an 80.
Is today not the 80th anniversary of the airport opening?
Are there any form of celebrations or news?
