Luton Airport — terminal layout

How pickup & drop-off works at Luton.

A practical guide for first-time travellers — where the express drop-off is, where to walk to find your driver, and what changed in 2024.

The 2024 layout change

In 2024 Luton Airport relocated the express drop-off and pickup to Terminal Car Park 2 (TCP2). The old kerbside drop-off right outside the terminal was closed, replaced by a covered walkway connecting the terminal to TCP2. Walk takes about 7 minutes.

The £7 express drop-off fee is included in our fixed quote — no surprises at the barrier. If you'd rather avoid that fee entirely, we can pick you up or drop you at the Holiday Inn Express just outside the airport (a 7-minute walk via the covered link). We'll suggest this on the quote results page.

Where exactly to meet your driver

  1. 1
    Walk out of arrivals
    Follow signs for 'Pickup' or 'Express drop-off' — they all lead to the same covered walkway.
  2. 2
    Cross the link bridge
    Covered, signposted, takes 5-7 minutes including escalators.
  3. 3
    Look for your driver in TCP2
    Driver is parked on the lower level. They'll have phoned/messaged you with bay number and car details on landing.
  4. 4
    Or — choose Meet & Greet (+£15)
    Driver waits inside arrivals holding a name board. No walk required.
Quick fact
£7 saved with the Holiday Inn pickup

Use the alt-pickup at Holiday Inn Express to avoid the £7 express drop-off fee. We'll prompt you on the quote page.
