Little to no seating areas at the gates is inexcusable. Sure, most people can stand, but what about those who find it difficult to stand for long periods of time?

The “gates” are mostly just queues in a long corridor. The area around gate 1 is actually the old terminal and there’s a little more room but again limited seating. It’s pretty intense

In these cases, people should ask for assistance at any airport, especially with mobility issues that way more often than not. You’ll be putting in a wheelchair and taken to where you need to go.

In my opinion, I’ve travelled to and from Luton a couple of times before, it’s not the best. It doesn’t have the best facilities, but it does its job as an airport and being near London the country could suffer if it wasn’t there. Honestly I think everyone is just being dramatic Obviously if you have a medical issue then you have to tell someone, I traveled there with a broken ankle, and all of the staff were being amazing about it and I found loads of places to sit and me and my family was able to skip parts of the queue, I declined but I was asked if I wanted a wheelchair.

As a local to Luton, it’s grown so much compared to what it was. Any security can be a nightmare at any airport to be fair had issues at Edinburgh Birmingham Heathrow Gatwick! But Compared to the issues Manchester had with check in previously a lot we’ve never had it that bad but I think a lot depends on the size of each airport and time you depart sometimes Luton has zero queues at security. I’ve done it in less than five minutes before multiple times. Car park 1 is great for spotting as well as the crash barrier on the opposite side. My daughter is currently crew at Luton and they are improving the airport substantially obviously you get your people who don’t turn up on time or always lay rushing through security and then wonder why they missed their flight, but it’s like this every airport. Each airport has advantages and disadvantages. Depends on the time of day of departure or arrival. Nevertheless, good video anyway and well done 👍

Great video Andy. I think this would make a great series as the whole experience of travelling can be enhanced or spoiled by the airport experience. And maybe it would help to get the poorer airports to better understand the importance of the customer interface; a video will be far more effective than an online review, especially if there's a huge community behind the content.

Great video. Very similar to Leeds/Bradford. A small airport that has massively expanded in terms of flights/passenger volume, way in excess the facilities they have available. LBA is awful both for departures and arrivals when busy.

Great video Andy we flew out of Manchester airport last year in July and it was terrible a long queue just to get our bags checked in then horrendous queue to get through security and we were there 3 hours before our flight and we had 30 mins to get to gate no time too get a drink because the queue's at the bars were long, sadly I don't think we'll be back to Manchester we live in Glasgow but works out cheaper to fly from Manchester but that experience was terrible.

Like Manchester security is a nightmare. They're run by G4S or group 4 security which you might know as traffic wardens and they have exactly the same power as a traffic warden. But give them a uniform with a few toy attachments and they turn into the SAS, They can't arrest you, they annoy you instead,

Manchester security is decent now, particularly since the new MD prioritised improving the passenger experience. 99.3% of passengers processed through security in 15 minutes or less based on most recent figures. Fitting of new x-ray scanners in progress ... some on trial in T2. When fully approved, passengers won't need to remove items from hand luggage for seperate screening. I have found security staff friendly and helpful on my frequent trips through Manchester Airport.

Positive changes happening there. 99.3% of passengers processed through security in 15 minutes or less (December figures - latest available). Meanwhile, new-look T2 will be fully open from Spring 2025. The section already operational has been well received by users. Life-expired T1 will close then. Crowding in T3 will subside once all carriers except Ryanair switch to extended T2.

The problem with Luton is it looks like it was designed on the cheap. The terminal looks to be missing its ceiling in most parts. The departure gates feel like hospital corridors. It’s just an awful place. But it’s frequented by low cost carriers who I guess pay very little for the facilities… So the investment just isn’t there. It’s my last favourite London airport, I wouldn’t choose to fly from there when there’s a choice.

Manchester is so bad that the first thing I check when choosing a holiday is if I can fly from Liverpool. The woman in charge, sacked everyone during Covid. Maybe a Karen but definitely not smart. Too dim to see all the EU workers were about to go home! Ex-airport staff easily got jobs on the same money but better hours and no travelling! Result? Hell on Earth.

totally disagree, maybe we've been at different terminals but i regularly fly out of Manchester from terminal 1 on easy jet, i've been able to get thru check in and security in well under 15 mins and into the departure lounge. slightly different coming back in but only because there's been a lot of arrivals at passport control and that made it about 30 mins total.
