[QUOTE=Spanish eyes;10669648]Yes I agree, it is always a real eye opener watching the latest batch of Wizz and Blue Air passengers arrive and depart. I often point out the smoking areas to the EU masses that smoke by the two entrance but 90% just carry on and don’t give a sh** or they don’t speak a word of a English so give the impression that they don’t give a sh**[Your

EU masses? You’ll probably find British passengers flying to Benidorm in their masses in that smoking area. Pretty sure they’ll do the same in Alicante and won’t speak a word of Spanish when they get there either.

[QUOTE=_aax1;10669760]So true, but that won’t stop a certain element on here turning a blind eye to that fact.

[QUOTE=_aax1;10669760]Exactly, you can walk through the smoking area and clearly hear English/estuary accents. It should be no suprise that when the airport has lots of foreign passengers travelling through that they are also doing the same. It's a disgusting habit regardless of their nationality. It's unfortunate and an embarrassment that a thread about an airport attracts the same disparaging posts about Eastern Europeans customers every couple of months.

Glad I didn’t mention the words E*****n E******n then. It is a sad fact though that it seems to be a problem focused on our continental friends to take note of the signage that ardornes the front of the terminal. The English speakers are in the main the odd staff member who should know better. Same issue in the new undercover drop off area but then I would think the bigger danger comes from car tailpipes.

You didn’t need to, its the inference of your post. I assume you work at the airport? Just remember it’s all those ‘EU masses’ that most likely keep you and the vast majority of Luton’s staff employed.

It’s just the state of this country I’m afraid. I met a passionate Brexiteer who desperately wants us to stop immigration because it’s “ruining the country” but they live in Spain and didn’t see any contradiction in that. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.

Not only by the terminal entrances is there a disregard for the signs. All four were puffing away today but then the airport does provide a bin for the dog ends despite the ban.

On the overcrowding issue in departures, why not renumber the gates and give each pier Ax (gates 1-18), Bx (gates 19-28) and Cx (gates 30-50). If it says “go to A gates”, I’m sure many more people would find seats in the older part of the terminal.

Is that just too simplistic to do?

When I last used LTN we used public transport, none of this drop off thievery and through Security OK. Waited in the bar area and could see what would be out (Wizz) aircraft arrive and park up so we knew where the gate area would be and went there well before it came up on the screens
However I would agree with the above to get the customers to head for area and get them out of the Retail Therapy area

And you have permission to break privacy laws to publish these photos online?

I suggest you contact them then and see if they have an issue. While you are at it you can point out the no smoking signs and remind them of UK law.

Wizz
 

Tenerife goes from 3 weekly to daily on the 1st June.

New route to Gran Canaria from the 4th June. (3 weekly)

To add seats and routes other seats or routes will have to be dropped for this year. I never did establish whether each airline is allocated seats they can trade or even if there is a market to sell seats between airlines.

Or it just reaffirms how much of a b0llocks policy it is?

Wizz
 

I’m sure I read somewhere that Wizz acquired a load of slots from TUI, so probably just filling them

Planning law is planning law but we all know that Luton Borough Council will be approving the planning application by their partner LLAOL as the planning system is corrupt in Luton when it comes to planning applications by LLAL or LLAOL. For 2021 expect the capacity to have increased to 19 million with a further relaxation of night noise limits also being approved. No real point in the councillors turning up apart from claiming their allowances as this is just a rubber stamp exercise that they are obliged to vote on. Just hope they keep awake.

The evening SOF flight is moving to LGW.

Looking like Sofia evening flight is staying at LTN. LGW flight is an additional flight on top of the 3 daily from LTN.

Total passengers 2019
 

According with caa statistics, the total passengers of 2019 was 18,213,901. The airport only can increase in 4.3% in order to reach 19MM.

When the airport could start the new expansion of the old terminal?
