The same two purchases as Thameslink: £12.30 by contactless (£16.60 between 06:30 and 09:30 on a weekday), plus the £4.90 DART — no separate Express fare exists on contactless. The operator also sells Advance tickets "from £10 one-way or £20 return, includes the Luton DART transfer", booked to "Luton Airport" up to 12 weeks ahead and tied to one train.
Travelling as three or four?
A private car to your door: £115.70 for four
Four pay £68.80 on the Luton Airport Express. The car meets you in arrivals and takes you to any address in London in about 75 min, at a price fixed when you book ahead with Welcome Pickups.
A partner link: Welcome Pickups pays us a commission on a booking. It has no say in how the options are ranked.
The same ticket, 3 places to buy it
The fare above is the one East Midlands Railway and Luton DART publishes; each seller sets its own price. Our partners pay us a commission, so they come first, and East Midlands Railway and Luton DART's own site follows. How this list works

32–40 min.
Worth knowing
On Sundays there is no Express before 12:28 from the airport (12:14 from St Pancras). A Sunday-morning landing is a Thameslink or a coach.
It saves a few minutes over Thameslink, not the fare: 22 minutes non-stop against 24 to 45, for the same £12.30 on a contactless card. It only goes to St Pancras; for Farringdon, the City or London Bridge the stopping train is direct and the Express is not.
The operator's Advance ticket "from £10" must be used on the train booked; miss it and you buy again. Railcards apply; GroupSave does not — East Midlands Railway is not in the scheme.
The 32 minutes is the operator's own figure and includes the DART and the change at Parkway; the train alone is 21 to 22 minutes.
