Pickup from your door
From Stevenage the 30-minute drive means a pickup around 3 hours before a short-haul flight is a safe choice: about 2 hours 30 minutes is left at the airport once you arrive. For long-haul, add another hour. You are collected from your home, hotel or office, help with bags is included, and child seats cost nothing extra. Luton has one terminal and the car drops you right outside it; the DART shuttle is only needed by passengers arriving by train.
Arriving back
For the return to Stevenage, the pickup is timed to your actual landing at Luton, not the schedule. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a name sign, with 60 minutes free after touchdown and parking included in the fare. Choose "Return" on the booking form to book both trips together and save on the second one.
