Two purchases: £12.30 by contactless at Luton Airport Parkway (£16.60 between 06:30 and 09:30 on a weekday; otherwise off-peak), plus the £4.90 Luton DART single at its machine or online. £12.30 applies to St Pancras, Farringdon, City Thameslink, Blackfriars and London Bridge alike; Oyster is not accepted. A through ticket to "Luton Airport" includes the DART and is the only way to get a Railcard, GroupSave or Kids-for-£2 discount, but those need a paper fare that is not published, so they are not priced here.

Travelling as three or four?

A private car to your door: £115.70 for four

Four pay £68.80 on the Thameslink. 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.

How to get there

From arrivals to St Pancras International

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 St Pancras International

32–55 min.

Worth knowing

Overnight it is a reduced service, and only St Pancras and Blackfriars are served through the night — Farringdon's last train is 00:26, City Thameslink's 22:58. The overnight interval is not published, so check the day you land.

The journey time is the DART plus 24 to 45 minutes on the train; the airport gives 41 minutes to Farringdon, 43 to City Thameslink, 46 to Blackfriars and 49 to London Bridge before the DART.

A contactless card pays for one person. Every traveler needs their own card or device, children pay the adult rate at the reader, and no discount can be applied to a tap.

GroupSave takes a third off for three to nine adults off-peak, including the DART on a through ticket, but only on a paper Off-Peak ticket whose price is not published. Kids for £2 and the 25 per cent Duo Off-Peak Return are the same shape.

St Pancras has no step-free access to or from the Thameslink platforms from 15 June to mid-September 2026, on the operator's notice.
