Practical tips
Fares vary with the day and the hour. Booking your coach online before you fly usually costs less than paying on the spot, and you get an instant e-ticket on your phone.
London has several coach and rail stations, and they are not interchangeable. Look at the exact drop-off point on your ticket and plan your onward route from there, so you do not head to the wrong station.
Buying transport at the airport on arrival is often the priciest way. Compare the coach online first, and you will see a cheaper, direct choice before you commit to an expensive last-minute alternative.
Do not book the tightest coach after landing. Passport control, baggage and queues can run late, so choose a departure with spare time, or keep a flexible ticket if the option is offered.
Bank holidays and summer weekends fill coaches quickly. If you arrive then, secure your seat early, and avoid relying on the last departures of the night when a delay could leave you stranded.
The journey experience
Landing at Luton and wondering how to get into London without overpaying? The coach is the simple answer here. It is the option that matters on this route, and you can see the current durations and fares laid out side by side on this page, so you know within seconds whether it suits your plans.
The airport coach is built for travellers with luggage. You board close to the terminal, store your bags in the hold, sit down and ride straight into the capital with no changes. It is calmer than juggling a shuttle bus, a train and the Underground after a long flight. Seats are comfortable, and many coaches have Wi-Fi and USB charging, though this varies by service.
British fares move a lot with timing, so the main tip is to book your coach ahead online rather than buying on the day. Prices shift with the day and the hour, and busy periods such as bank holidays and summer weekends can sell out. Check which London stop your coach arrives at before you go, because central London has several stations and it is easy to head for the wrong one. Keep a buffer after landing, and you will arrive relaxed, with your e-ticket on your phone.
Frequently asked questions — Luton (London Luton Airport) → London
Coach tickets from Luton Airport to London start from €6, and typical fares go up to €16. The price depends on the day, the time of departure and how early you book, so reserving online ahead of your trip is usually the cheapest approach.
The coach takes between 50 minutes and 1 h 25. The difference comes mainly from road traffic, the time of day and the exact London stop you are heading to. Rush hours and busy weekends are usually slower, so allow extra time for onward plans.
For most travellers with luggage, the coach is the best choice. It is direct, you stay seated with your bags in the hold, and it avoids changes between shuttle, train and Underground. It is also often the cheapest option, especially when booked in advance online.
Coaches leave from the airport's coach stop close to the terminal. Follow the airport signs for coaches and buses after you collect your bags. Check your e-ticket for the exact departure point and time, and arrive a little early so you do not miss your coach.
It is not always required, but it is wise. Booking ahead online usually gives a better fare and guarantees your seat, which matters on bank holidays and summer weekends when coaches can sell out. You receive an instant e-ticket to show on your phone.
