London Luton, in Bedfordshire just off the M1, is a compact single-terminal airport that has grown into a major low-cost hub. Its hilltop site and busy drop-off arrangements mean a pre-booked taxi with clear pickup instructions can save hassle, especially late at night when public transport thins out. MiniCabFinder lets you compare an estimated fare before booking.
