Car hire in Luton Airport

London Luton Airport is the seventh largest airport in the UK, handling over six million passengers a year. Serviced by several budget airlines, and home to Easyjet, the airport is popular with those flying to Ireland, Amsterdam and Mediterranean destinations. In all, it has flights to 61 regional destinations, but it doesn’t handle any long haul flights.

A new terminal was opened in autumn 1999 with 60 check-in desks, ‘state of the art’ baggage handling and passenger information systems. The existing terminal was upgraded recently, creating a larger departures lounge and adding a food court and shops.

Another unusual facility is the additional of a ‘chapel’, open to all denominations and religions. The airport also has well equipped baby care rooms. Money can now be exchanged at one of four bureaux de change outlets available throughout the terminal building.

The Aviance Executive Lounge is extremely luxurious and well equipped to help pass the time. The staff is helpful and relaxed, yet very professional. Use of the lounge and its many facilities costs £18 per two-hour stay. Several well-known retail outlets are found within the terminal, including Ann Summers, the Body Shop, Books etc. and Boots.
