London Luton Airport (LLA) has launched a new online journey planner designed to point passengers towards the quickest and simplest public transport to and from the airport. The platform’s route comparison and planning options cover train, bus and coach transport, as well as road directions, with journey planning criteria that includes starting location, transport connections and travel time preferences.

The initiative is the latest example of the many ways LLA is working with coach, bus and rail operators to encourage more sustainable journeys to and from the airport.

This autumn, LLA is partnering with National Express* to provide up to 10,000 £2 coach fares. The discounted tickets cover 49 direct daily services connecting LLA and nine pick-up point locations across London including Victoria, Baker Street, Paddington, Marble Arch, St John’s Wood, Finchley Road and Golders Green. All services run 24 hours a day.

The initiative follows LLA’s month-long Fly and Ride initiative, last month, which allowed passengers with a valid printed or digital boarding pass to travel free of charge on every direct Arriva and Stagecoach bus to and from the airport.  

Oliver Jaycock, Director of Corporate Affairs at London Luton Airport, said: "These initiatives, including the launch of our new online journey planner, share a common goal of encouraging passengers to make more sustainable choices when travelling to and from London Luton Airport. Working closely with bus, coach and rail operators, we are focused on making public transport more accessible, affordable and attractive. The journey planner is another practical step in helping passengers plan their trips with confidence, making it quicker and easier to compare routes and identify the most convenient public transport for their journey”.
