London Luton Airport (LLA) has partnered with National Express to provide up to 10,000 one-way £2 coach fares to passengers1.
With almost 462,000 passengers expected to travel through LLA during the October half-term, the offer is available until 10 December and is the airport’s latest initiative to encourage more sustainable travel to and from the terminal. The discounted fares apply to 49 direct daily services connecting LLA and pick-up locations across London including Victoria, Baker Street, Paddington, Marble Arch, St John’s Wood, Finchley Wood and Golders Green.
Families travelling to LLA by rail from London St Pancras, just 32 minutes via the Luton Airport Express, can also take advantage of a half term family saver ticket for £20. The offer includes the DART shuttle link from Luton Airport Parkway and is valid for families of up to two adults and up to four children2.
Clare Armstrong, Head of Guest Experience at London Luton Airport, commented: “October half-term is always a hugely popular time to travel for families looking to recharge following the back-to-school chaos of September. We know that passenger experience begins from the passenger’s front door, and these eye-catching offers ensure the best possible start for those arriving by rail or coach. Passengers can also take advantage of LLA’s new online journey planner3 which highlights the quickest and simplest public transport options based on starting location, transport connections and travel time preferences. London Luton Airport’s half term preparations are in full swing, with brand new destinations, and popular, established favourites on our departure boards. As ever, our team will be working hard to deliver a simple and friendly passenger experience to all those travelling through LLA.”
Rafael Fernandez, Managing Director of National Express, said: “We’re delighted to be working with London Luton Airport to make travelling to the airport even more affordable this autumn. With household budgets continuing to be under pressure, our £2 fares give customers the opportunity to get from London to the airport for less.
“Our frequent, reliable services offer a comfortable and stress-free way to travel, with customers able to sit back, relax and let our drivers take them directly to the terminal. We’re also pleased to support LLA’s goal of encouraging passengers to make more sustainable choices when travelling to and from the airport.”
Figures reveal that sunshine destinations such as Corfu, Malaga and Rhodes, along with ever-popular city break favourites Barcelona, Berlin, Bilbao, Milan and Prague are among the most popular destination choices for those travelling from LLA.
Passengers flying from LLA can simplify their trip by capitalising on LLA’s hugely popular free Prebook Security service. The service allows passengers to skip security queues by reserving a 30-minute slot ahead of their arrival at the airport. Slots can be reserved from four days before a flight, and up to 60 minutes before arrival at the airport: Prebook Security – London Luton Airport.
