Round the M25
London Luton Airport is in Bedfordshire, about 45 miles from Morden. Most journeys head west to the M25, go clockwise past Heathrow, and then up the M1 to junction 10. It usually takes 75 to 100 minutes, with the M25 between the A3 and the M1 the main source of delays.
The alternative by train
By public transport, you'd take the Northern line to King's Cross, walk to St Pancras for a Thameslink train to Luton Airport Parkway, then take the shuttle to the terminal. It's possible, but with luggage and an early flight, it's a long trip. A car takes you from your door to the terminal in one go.
Early departures
Luton handles lots of early holiday flights. For a 6am departure, you may need to leave Morden before 3am. We run 24/7, so that's no problem, but please:
- Book at least the day before.
- Tell us your flight time, and we'll confirm a sensible pickup time.
- Have passports and bags ready by the door.
At the terminal
Luton has a single terminal, and vehicles pay to use its drop-off zone. Ask us how this is handled in your fare. For your return, book with your flight number and your driver will meet you in arrivals.
