How to get there

From arrivals to Gatwick Airport station

Three steps once you have collected your bags.

01

Find the station

Luton DART from the terminal to Luton Airport Parkway.

02

Buy and validate a ticket

Before boarding — a ticket bought but not validated can be fined.

03

Ride to Gatwick Airport station

82–110 min.

Worth knowing

The train is the same one that crosses central London, stopping at St Pancras, Blackfriars and London Bridge, so it takes 78 minutes by day and 87 to 110 at night, plus the DART.

Trains run through the night on a reduced service, hourly through the small hours on a weekday night, and the DART runs around the clock. On a night or a Sunday with engineering work the ride can need a bus: check the day you travel.

The coach is cheaper, from £21.50 against £24.00 here, but takes about an hour longer.
