What is included

What does a Luton to Heathrow transfer include?

You land at Luton, north of London, and fly on from Heathrow to the west. Fuel, parking at Luton and the Heathrow drop-off charge sit inside the fare. Every booking includes four things:

Met inside Luton arrivals

Your chauffeur leaves the car in the terminal car park and stands in Luton arrivals holding your name.

Your Luton landing tracked

A short-haul flight into Luton can land ahead of or behind schedule. We follow it and set the pickup by the real touchdown, with the first sixty minutes of waiting free.

The right Heathrow terminal

Your onward flight leaves from Terminal 2, 3, 4 or 5. You choose it in the form, its flight number lets us confirm it, and the car stops at that departures entrance.

One fare for the whole car

The fare is per car, so one traveler or three pay the same. Child seats cost nothing.

The journey

How far is Luton from Heathrow, and how long does it take?

Luton Airport is 35 to 38 miles from Heathrow by road, depending on the terminal. The drive takes 43 minutes at night and up to 77 at the 07:00 weekday peak, by our hour-by-hour data. The chauffeur takes the motorway south, then west around London. On a weekday, plan on 46 to 53 minutes between 10:00 and 14:00, and 49 to 56 between 15:00 and 18:00.

Terminal 5 is the closest to the motorway and the shortest run. Terminals 2 and 3 sit in the central area, a few minutes further; Terminal 4 is on the south side.

Late arrival at Luton? We drive at any hour for the same fare.

Between the flights

How much time do I need between landing at Luton and departing from Heathrow?

Leave at least 5 hours between landing at Luton and take-off from Heathrow. Clearing Luton arrivals with bags takes 30 to 45 minutes. The drive then takes up to 1 hour 17 minutes. Airlines ask you to reach the airport 3 hours before take-off, and that is the time to plan around.

A short-haul ticket into Luton and a long-haul ticket out of Heathrow are usually two separate bookings. If the first runs late, the second airline will not hold the plane. You enter the UK at Luton, so carry any visa or ETA your nationality needs. Bags are not checked through on separate tickets: collect them at Luton and check in again at Heathrow. Those 5 hours leave nothing spare for a late landing, so add to them if you can, and put both flight numbers in the booking notes.

A long gap between the two flights? Take the Luton airport transfer to London and stay a night in town before Heathrow.

Heathrow to Luton

Heathrow to Luton Airport: private car, northbound

Landing at Heathrow for a flight out of Luton works the same way. Your chauffeur waits with a name board in your terminal arrivals hall, then drives north by motorway to Luton Airport. Set Heathrow as the pickup and Luton Airport as the drop, or tap the swap button.

  • Mercedes E-Class: from £185
  • Mercedes V-Class: from £215
  • Mercedes S-Class: from £270
  • Range Rover: from £360

For an 18:00 flight out of Luton, be at the airport by 15:00, so the car should leave Heathrow by about 14:00, a midday drive of 45 to 49 minutes.

At Luton the drop is in the airport’s Drop Off and Pick Up Zone, a short walk from the terminal; the zone charge is inside our fare.

Going Heathrow to Luton now and back the other way a week later? Return (new ride) in the form books both legs in one go.

Before you book

What should I know before booking this airport-to-airport transfer?

  • Two flight numbers : the inbound one into Luton tells us when to send the car; the outbound one from Heathrow tells us which terminal. Add both in the booking notes.
  • Luggage : a long-haul trip usually means bigger cases, so count bags before seats. Check the bag count on each car card above.
  • Waiting beyond the free hour : if the Luton belt is slow and you need longer, we agree it with you first. Extra time is charged at our normal hourly rate, by the started hour and never in half hours: E-Class £45, V-Class £60, S-Class £70, Range Rover £80.
  • Stops on the way : a service area or a quick pickup in Watford or Uxbridge is possible. A stop adds time, so it adds to the fare; tell us when you book so the timing still works for the second flight.
  • If the airline cancels the Luton flight : we move your booking free of charge up to the day of travel, or refund it in full, your choice.
  • Payment and receipt : card payment online, and an emailed receipt with the booking reference for business travelers claiming the trip.
  • Child seats and the name board : give the ages at the extras step and the seats are fitted free. No board in sight at Luton arrivals? Call the number in your confirmation before you leave the hall.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Luton to Heathrow transfers

How much is a private car from Luton to Heathrow?

From £180 for the whole car in an E-Class, and from £215 in the seven-seat V-Class. The booking form quotes your exact fare before you pay.

How long does it take from Luton Airport to Heathrow?

About 43 minutes at night, and 59 minutes to 1 hour 17 minutes for a weekday landing between 06:00 and 09:00. Your chauffeur follows the traffic before setting off.

How much time should I leave between the Luton and Heathrow flights?

At least 5 hours from landing at Luton to take-off from Heathrow, including the 3 hours the airline asks for at Heathrow. Two separate tickets carry no protection if the first flight runs late.

What if my flight into Luton is delayed?

Your pickup moves to the real landing time at no cost, because the flight number lets us follow the Luton arrival. A late landing can still put your Heathrow flight at risk, because the two tickets are separate.

Which Heathrow terminal will I be dropped at?

The one your onward flight uses, from Terminal 2 to Terminal 5. Your chauffeur checks the flight on the day and stops at the departures forecourt, not a car park.

Can I book Heathrow to Luton, and can I cancel?

Yes, northbound from any Heathrow terminal, at the fare the form quotes. Cancel free of charge until 24 hours before pickup. Tripyana Ltd is a UK-licensed company — private hire operator licence PHOP950 · Company No. 16308293.

When should the car leave Heathrow for a flight out of Luton?

Be at Luton Airport 3 hours before take-off, then allow up to 69 minutes for the drive north, slowest around 17:00 on weekdays. If you have just landed, add the time to leave Heathrow arrivals with checked bags. Enter your Heathrow landing time as the pickup time in the form.

Which car fits three adults and four large suitcases?

A V-Class or a Range Rover. The E-Class and S-Class seat three but take only 2 large cases. The V-Class carries up to 7 people and 7 cases, and the Range Rover up to 4 people and 4 bags, so either holds your whole party with all the luggage.

Is anything added for parking, waiting or the Heathrow drop-off?

No. Parking at Luton, fuel and the Heathrow drop-off charge are inside the fare. Only waiting past the free hour can add to it, and that is agreed with you first.
