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.

Luggage. Racks by the doors and overhead; the DART is built for suitcases.
