Luton AirportIn 2004, 20,000 people voted Luton the worst place to live. A little harsh perhaps, with the magnificent Luton Hoo on the doorstep. It is just as well the locals are first to laugh. They have nicknamed the £40 million aluminium and glass airport terminal "the Tinshed". Luton Airport also stays fresh in many minds due to a 70s Campari advert. Asked if she had "truly wafted in from Paradise", Lorraine Chase replied "Nah, from Luton Airport". Luton Airport's fortunes have fluctuated thanks to charter companies either going bankrupt or moving their operations, like Ryanair, to other airports. However, business is once more on the rise, and easyjet has now made Luton Airport its commercial hub. In 2005, passenger figures increased to over 9 million pushing Luton up the airport league to sixth place. Of those 9 million, 12% are charter passengers, serviced by eight low-cost carriers including easyjet, flybe, ryanair and wizz. Previously called Luton International Airport, London Luton Airport is about 30 miles to the north-west of Central London, in Bedfordshire. It is easily found at junction 10 on the M1. Although there is a choice of parking, it is better to pre-book. It can not only save you money, but will also guarantee your space. For economy holiday parking book Airparks at Lutona long established car park offering value for money parking.
APH can also provide a selection of hotels with parking. Choose from the modern Days Hotel in Luton town centre, with its contemporary furnishings and décor; or maybe the Royal, one of Luton's newest hotels, and savour the gastronomic delights of its Yim Thai restaurant.
The food and shopping options at London Luton Airport reflect the swift-moving passenger numbers. Food is fast with little variety. At least the Travel Galleria has a wide selection of top brand names in perfume and clothing as well as a range of other airport - must-haves'. If you prefer to make a relaxed start to your journey, you can book a short stay in the Aviance Executive Lounge through APH. You will be served with a selection of hot and cold beverages and alcoholic drinks, and have the choice of watching TV, listening to music or working.
