Additional information

We normally advise our customers to allow themselves 50 minutes to park their car at Airparks and transfer to the airport - longer during the morning and afternoon rush hours. However, there are roadworks on the M1 from junction 10 to junction 13 for the rest of the year, so we advise you to leave extra time for your journey to the airport too. More detailed information is available on the Highways Agency website.

Unfortunately, Airparks is unable to carry bikes, surfboards, canoes and other large objects which do not fit onto the luggage racks on its buses. If you are bringing large items with you, we suggest you drop them off at the airport before parking your car or take advantage of the Airparks Return Greet service. Remember to check beforehand that your airline will be able to carry the items.

If you stay in the car park for more days than you booked, you will be charged for the extra days at the car park's standard daily rate. If you stay for fewer days than you booked, you will not be given a refund.

Airparks cannot accept bookings for minibuses, high-sided vehicles, mobile homes, lorries, caravans or trailers, even if multiple spaces are booked. The maximum vehicle height allowed is 2.1m (7 feet).

Airparks Luton now has luggage scales for its customers to use so you can weigh your bags before you get to the airport and avoid the woe of excess baggage charges. The scales cost £1 for 60 seconds.
