Passengers can now reach London Luton Airport (LLA) from Central London in around 30 minutes for as little as £10, with new fares from Luton Airport Express. 

The newly launched non-stop rail service, operated by East Midlands Railway, runs from London St Pancras to Luton Airport Parkway where passengers can now use the brand-new Luton DART shuttle to the terminal.

Luton Airport Express trains depart every 30 minutes, from early morning to late at night Monday to Saturday, with regular services on Sundays.

While the Luton DART runs 24 hours a day and takes customers from the train station to the airport terminal, meaning an overall journey time to or from Central London of 32 minutes. 

Simon Pready, Commercial Director of East Midlands Railway (EMR), said: “EMR’s Luton Airport Express will provide customers travelling from the capital and the south, a convenient, fast and environmentally friendly way to get to the airport – with a trip taking as little as 32 minutes and costing from as little as £10 – it’s a great option.

“Along with the introduction of DART, the Luton Airport Express represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the town and we are proud to be part of such an environmentally and economically important project.

“I’m personally looking forward to speaking to our customers to find out where they are jetting off to.”

Alberto Martin, CEO of London Luton Airport, said: “Taking just 32 minutes door-to-door, the launch of the transformational Luton Airport Express means that London Luton Airport has never been closer to central London.

“The service will provide a faster, more frequent and more convenient connection from train to plane, making LLA one of the capital’s best-connected airports and supporting its mission to deliver a simple, friendly end-to-end passenger experience.”
