Thanks Bandit for your input on this :D

I've never flown from Luton. What's wrong with it? My daughter never noticed anything particularly awful about it.

I guess it depends on what you want from an airport. I have flown from Luton a couple of times, and never had an issue with it. It is quite small, but all I need is to turn up, check in, kill some time with a book waiting for the flight then depart.

I prefer Luton to Gatwick or Heathrow but only because its closer to us in Norfolk. It's an old fashioned small airport but perfectly serviceable. I don't go to airports for the architecture or experience, just to leave the country.

Of course Stansted is preferably to any of the above.
I can see my house from here...

Thanks FarQueue and Felthorpe :D
All I was thinking about was how to save people some money on their flights and travel to the London airports - both J2skiers wanting to come on this holiday with us, and anyone else reading this thread.

Luton MMmmmm They charge £1 to drop off a client, £2 for a Trolly ( Non refundable ) they are not
on my fly from list .... Norwich to Heathrow 2hrs 20 mins, London City 2hrs, Stansted 1hr 30 mins.
Luton 2hrs not a lot of difference. 8)

All destinations can take longer than predicted due to traffic, but the point is don't limit your self to Luton as you think it is nearer, depending where you are in Norfolk :thumbup:
