Holidaymakers should be aware their journey could be affected by a road closure
A major London airport has shared a travel update for passengers with upcoming bookings. People travelling to London Luton Airport in the coming days should be aware of a road closure that could affect their journeys.
The airport issued a warning on social media, urging people to ‘check’ their journey as they may need to make alternative arrangements. Posting on X, @LDNLutonAirport shared information for people with trips booked this month. London Luton Airport said: “There will be daytime road closures on New Airport Way near London Luton Airport for three days from Mon. 20th July.
“Check your journey to or from the airport and find alternative travel arrangements where necessary.” More information is available on the airport’s website. The passenger information includes updates on any rail and road disruption, along with the latest travel information.
The advice says: “New Airport Way will be closed between Gipsy Lane and Luton Airport Way roundabout. Traffic will be diverted via New Airport Way, Luton Airport Way roundabout, and Airport Way.” The website explains: “Monday 20th July – Wednesday 22nd July from 9:30am – 3:00pm.”
London Luton Airport advises passengers to always arrive in good time to drop off their bags and clear the required security checks. Advice on the website says: “Check in desks / bag drop facilities will open two hours prior to flight time and your airline will close the boarding gate approximately 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time. We recommend you arrive in good time to drop any bags or check in and clear Security.”
Passengers who want to ‘skip the queues’ at security may wish to prebook a timeslot. The service is free, but it is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
The airport said: “Prebook Security allows you to skip the queues by reserving a 30-minute window in Airport Security. The service is currently only available for those arriving between 3 AM and 3 PM.
“You simply reserve a 30-minute timeslot for security in the days before your arrival. On the day of travel, head towards security and follow the signs for “Prebook Security” where you’ll find a team member ready and waiting to welcome you.
“You can pre-book this service from four days before your arrival, right up until 60 minutes before you arrive at security (subject to availability). Booking this service is completely free, does not require any login or registration and is available to all guests.”
