The route

From Southampton (SO14, SO15, SO16) the natural line out is the M3 J14 and the M27, joining M1 J10, then Airport Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 96.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 05m off-peak becomes 2h 35m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at London Luton Airport

Meet and greet in arrivals, or the mid-stay pickup area. Luton's drop-off arrangements change with the terminal works, so the driver confirms the exact point on the day.

Address: London Luton Airport, Bedfordshire, LU2 9LY.
