Awesome trip report as usual, luton is one of the most chaotic airport I've flown out of! Hope you had a good flight dispite everything else!
Thanks! Awful flight but the trip went to plan
They expanding big time.... shame bout teeside tho looool 🤣🤣🤣🎩♥️💯🏴⚘
I went to Luton
Manchester was worse for me, also Budapest airport going in was a mess... Birmingham was actually my favourite.
Thank you for this review. Happy weekend.
Thanks! You too!
Great video again. Your narrating get better all the time. I've only ever flown from Luton once, but your video is very disturbing when you see there is no social distancing. Stay safe on your travels and thanks for yet another great video. Oh and wow..what a cheap price too hey!
Thank you! The Wizz prices can be a little tempting...
great channel dude
Glad you enjoy it!
Love your videos
Thank you!
As someone who is cabin crew at Luton airport I do have to agree unfortunately.
Security is always a nightmare especially now you have crew and passengers using the same one!
There is never any social distancing in the airport because all the bars/restaurants are still closed, the other shops and duty free are open but only earlier in the day so if you have a late flight be prepared for this. (we try out best on the planes and unlike Wizz EZY do enforce it for disembarking to PA's etc)
About the APU thing you can use it during refuelling but Wizz are a well known for this, you can have it on while refuelling but they don't want to waste fuel on aircon.
Thanks for such a comprehensive response! I had a great flight with easyJet back in July, and I've only heard good things about the way the airline has responded since!
JT's Journeys thank you so much for your kind words! It’s definitely not been easy lately at any airline. We are all trying our best to put a brave face on it while under fire. Fly safe and take care! Loving the content
Hi TK,
Im very surprised that during this current situation that they dont let crews use Gate 5 the same as the Tui crews and the fuellers.
Thank youu for this
You’re welcome :) I hope you found it useful
Great video Jamie! I flew Wizz Air too recently, thankfully my flights did not have a delay but can imagine how frustrating it was, especially at a cramped Luton... With regards to your APU question, many airlines have a policy where they do not start the APU during re-fueling, so I imagine the aircraft was running on Ground Power at the stand and they did not start the APU until the aircraft had been fully re-fueled.
Thanks Dom! I knew a pilot would be able to advise!
@@JTsJourneys It was the pilots choice because there is no rule stating that they are not allowed to turn it on during refuelling. Next time just advise the cabin crew that it is too hot and they will try to make it more comfortable for you by telling the pilots to use the APU.Wizz pilot here.
Enjoyed your vid, I have only once flown from Luton and I will never do it again,such an awful airport!
Awful airport but the prices from there can be a little to tempting sometimes
@@JTsJourneys I suppose you have to suffer a little if you are getting a real bargain.
Woo 1k 🎉🎉
Made it! Thanks for your support
Great video just subscribed will try watch them all very informative
Thank you! How have you found the others?
@@JTsJourneys yeah I have watched a good few I think your next destination should be fuetaventura it's such a beautiful island an you see it all when your coming in to land
Nice video, Luton does look so crowded, its such a shame how they cannot manage it. I'm off to Thessaloniki in a few weeks with them from Luton , it will be the aircraft's first flight of the day so hopefully out on time... My next flight is to Faro and that is an afternoon flight and will be its 3rd rotation. Still really exited to be flying again though! Are the crew friendly? Debating whether to ask them for a fight deck visit when we land in SKG as love the Airbus flight deck!
Good luck flying through! The crew seem nice enough, but I doubt they'll let you access the flightdeck :(
The APU is used over ground power at the moment as the bleed provides better air circulation in the cabin.
Thanks! I didn’t realise that! Makes a lot more sense though given it’s a small jet engine
I absolutely love Luton airport. In defense of Wizzair it should be noted they are growing at incredible speed and so is Luton Airport, hence why they will be improving the terminal facilities. In regards to social distancing; if it was enforced by both all the airlines and all UK airport operators, they would all be closed down! Luton Airports growth is due to its popularity which has resulted in its passenger share of all the London Airports having the highest percentage increase each year. Due to Covid some develpments are on hold. However during the lock downs, Wizzair maintained some flights from Luton and all these months later...London Luton Airport has the distinction of being the third buisiest Airport in the UK during many months of the year!
when I took this flight and made this trip over a year ago, the world was in a very different place, unfortunatly the experience didn't meet the expectations that I had, and despite flying on other airlines at the same time, Wizz came out bottom. The airport certainly improved with the terminal extention, and as I've maintained, outside of covid times last year, it generally meets what I'd expect, especially when flights are so cheap.
i think your vlogs are one of the best around ..... no silly music or very little nice work
Thanks! I only really add the music to keep the video flowing
@@JTsJourneys one very small suggestion. I really love the views especially the night lights, if there's any chance you could record the dark scenes at 1/24 exposure (instead of 1/30 or 1/60, you might be able to get some extra light on the sensor and also lower the iso just a tiny bit for a clearer image). And regarding the like/subscribe big contrasty signs, they would be much better if they were more subtle either at middle down or a corner of the screen. Appreciate the video! keep it up, very clean and on point
@@bl4ck1911 Thanks for highlighting this one, right now i tend to just use my iPhone for night filming and let it do it's thing. When i get an upweighted 'real' camera I'll come back to this comment to learn more about filming at night!
@@JTsJourneys iphones came a long way haha. Try to get a free manual camera app. I tried it on an old iphone 5 and i can set a fixed exposure and focus on it. It.s pretty amazing!
Great vid, I know exactly what you mean about boarding but not boarding on that staircase.
Last flew out of Luton 4/5 years ago, was able to skip the long queue at the gate, only to be stuck on the staircase in which it was pretty warm during the summer.
There isn't really a comfortable way to escape the monotonous boarding process that I've found, using Wizz Priority just led to waiting at a different location.
Exactly that! Priority just means a cabin bag half the time these days, and the less time you can spend onboard the better
You should fly now from Luton (22.01.2021.). Staff is very happy to see any people at the airport. And passengers (me) was very happy to have any flight to be able to go home. I would pay £200 to have just one flight with Wizz. Price still was acceptable and was Wizz air too.
I'd love to fly at the moment! hope you got home safe
@@JTsJourneys I've been flying for years and was happy because that was the best time of my life(travelling for work) , now not anymore with all restriction and must do things. Travel became trouble but yes I got home safe, thank you.
You can’t have apu on during fuelling because the hot air from the apu at the back of the aircraft will set fire to the fuel tank.
Fuelling with the APU on, or staring the APU during Fuelling isnt a risk as the APU exhaust is too High out the way from the Fuelling trucks, this was normal for all AC we fuelled at LLA, and is the same for where I fuel now.
Why is it on flightradar when flights take off the time is straight away 30 minutes ahead of schedule???
Great question! I have no idea!
Always go to this airport. My childhood Airport. Can't wait to go there again
Any plans to get there soon and take a flight?
@@JTsJourneys Sorry for the late response, yes I'm going in 8 days. Is it bad to fly from Luton?
This is crazy when flying through Luton in 2019 and the same pier that was totally empty.
that is crazy! Must have hit the sweet quiet spot!
The APU is usally turned on before pushback because of either airport regulations or to minimize the fuel consumption and no the apu can t be turned on while fueling is done
Thank you!
I guess this is downside to regional airports. The big ones are a pain to get around, but they’re much more prepared. I recently saw a video of staff at Heathrow saving someone who went into cardiac arrest!
Come to think of it, Heathrow has those passenger experience people, a bit like Gatwick, but i've never seen anything like that at Luton
I love luton airport and last time I was there was January 2020 but not been back obviously because of covid. I miss flying.
Hopefully you can get flying again soon!
And I thought that only in Italy we could be so dumb to not let passengers sit on all the available space... “tutto il mondo é paese” (the whole world is a town) we would say.
Lovely review by the way, have a nice stay in Milan
Thank you!
Dont complain. It's a small airport. Pre covid wizz air was running like a clock work. Flights fdo. Gatwick are being cancelled eveey day. Luton doesnt have that problem.
The airport isn't anything special but serves a purpose. In normal times the airport meets what I expect, however when I took this trip last summer, it really failed to deliver. It's also pretty difficult to call Luton airport 'small' when in 2019 it handled over 18million passengers... maybe the terminal is too small to handle that number?
@@JTsJourneys i agree with u - it is too small for the amount ppl it receives, yet still i find it less problematic than Gatwick, where rarely ever i managed to depart on time.
@@annamahree7340 agree with the on time bit, Luton does seem to have better on time performance, particularly since the extended the taxi way reducing the need to backtrack the runway. Gatwick pre pandemic was awful for getting away on time, they really need a second runway there
rip im flying from luton too on 14th aswell on rynair :c
Good luck!
@@JTsJourneys ive arrived :D safe and sound
@@warsanmahamud6482 Have a good time!
@@JTsJourneys You too!
I think the reason it was crowed was because at the time everyone wanted a holiday.
Very true, but plenty of ways to mitigate just how crowded it felt.
I'm a frequent flyer with WizzAir an din my opinion they are the best out of the budget airlines but I fly from Liverpool not usually.many problems from there
Never flown out of Liverpool, it's on my list to get to. I've flown Wizz many times and only had two big delays with them. This particular trip was just thing after thing not going right or not meeting my expectations.
Stick to Brighton, recently flew Luton to Tenerife, air
Ine could not be faulted.
Hope you had a great time!
I can confirm that Fuelling can be done while the APU is running, this is normal,
from my time there, I believe the late Fuelling would have been due to the Furloughed work staff at the fuelling company and as a result extremely short staffed.
also from my time there (This may have changed) the fuelling company would normally give priority to "on time" flights and fit in the delayed inbound at the next opportunity providing all other on time flights were completed.
again, this is only from my experience being with said company before Furlough and redundancy.
thank you. I've never had any problems in the past with fuelling at luton
@@JTsJourneys that's probably because they made the best redundant at the start of the down turn 😉
APu can't run the air con packs on bleed air from engine s
Thanks for confirming!
You didn’t show going through passport control at Malpensa. I had a total nightmare myself.
It was okay actually when I visited, nice and easy (this was pre Brexit though)
Did you need to print off ur boarding pass or could you just show the email proof on ur phone?
Hello, it depends which boarding pass you have. If you're getting it from their website you'll need to print it, however if you download the app and access your boarding pass from there, you can show it on your phone
I live in Luton and around this time in August I went to Spain from this airport. Flew Ryan air. So uncomfortable to be honest lol
What’s more uncomfortable, Luton airport or Ryanair? I don’t find Ryanair to bad, my expectation isn’t for first class so they do a good job of delivering what you pay for
As a refueller at luton. I can say that the reason the refueller wasn't at your aircraft could be and most likely was. Your flight was an hour late to stand! We work on the principle, that we won't make a flight, that's on time late. To service a flight that is late.I hope that you will understand that! Yes the APU can be run with refuellering!!
Perfectly understandable (don't worry I'm not blaming you!) I blame Wizz for poor scheduling!
HI Wayne, hope all is well with you and the crew there, Say hello to everyone for me and that I send my regards, Missing the chaos from time to time.
This is the reason I always fly to luton but never fly from Luton
yes, great point. I often do the same
To fly from do I need pcr test negative result to enter airport ?
It’s changing all the time right now. Your best place to check is the UK gov website for the departure requirements, and the gov website of the place your going to for their entry
Ah WillNE and James marriotts favourite place on earth
The worlds best airport
I will be flying to Luton London , from my Country on December and i am using WizzAir only cause this one is the only that is the closest to my destination. I hope it goes well! I have full hopes, i might go back home with a different flight if possible :), but for arriving ill use this one!
Have a great trip :)
@@JTsJourneys thank you very much :)
@@JTsJourneys its my first time flying with a plane, do you have any tips?
Is there anything I should look out for regarding the safety of my belongings or other things as I will be flying from Luton soon? Is a locked suitcase suggested/ any other suggestions?
Hello! Nothing that you wouldn't usually look out for really, just keep to common sense and keep your belongings in sight just like you would any other airport.
@@JTsJourneys great thank you for your help!
I flew from Luton a year ago terrible airport
I might try Luton again in 2023, been a while since I’ve been
i fly out from luton and it may be chaotic and stuff but its not as bad tbh guys look for positives in negative situations
I'm looking forward to flying from Luton again. Prior to the world falling apart it always met my expectations, on this particular occasion though it did not.
Seems fine to me cheap tickets we should not complain 🤔😏
Looks fine now, but a shocker in august 2020
Why not Luton? You won’t Stop me I’m going to Greece wizz air from London Luton
You know what, I'd still use Luton, it's cheap and does what it says on the tin
It it because the passenger in anthems is late?
A while ago now, but I think it was down to customs delays in Athens
@@JTsJourneys ok
At what month did you fly out?
This was August 2020
I have been to luton airport 5 times in a row and It was very good service. but it was not during lockdown
Agree, outside of the time I took this trip the airport always met my low expectations, but during the the summer of 2020 it really failed to deliver.
People hate being filmed you can see this here. It’s a weird world we live in where we are all on camera. Caught off guard
Ordinarily I don't mind Luton but that looked horrendous. For £10ish you cant really complain all told tho.
That's the problem I have, awful experience, but low price, starting to think the cheap ticket isn't worth it to endure Luton anymore.
And as soon as you walked in there is a lady with no face mask walking two children towards you
It’s no wonder why we’ve been struggling so much with this virus. Tons of people refuse to wear them. It’s really pathetic. I used to live in Japan years before COVID and people wore masks. The fact it’s become so political here is a disgrace to such an otherwise smart nation
It's really not that difficult to comply with the rules
Im flying on sundayy at 6 am with wizzair
Have a great time!
Luton is the best airport
If Carlsberg did airports…
Why
Why not?
Bru I was in luten and it doesn't look like that
When did you travel? Seems to look like this most times I fly through
Honestly for 11 euros, I wouldn’t complain.
I can't really for the price
The airlines are not making much money at that price are they.
Doesn't even cover the tax! I guess that's why the seat reservation price is so high, it's where the money is made!
OMG he flyed the same plane wizz air and he was in my seat😃😃😃!!!
was it still warm?
You need to have covid 19 test results with you
No, when i flew there was (and still isn't) any requirement to have a test before travel or on arrival into Italy when coming from the UK
So no need a pcr test before entering the airport
Completely agree with everything you said apart from the legroom. Onboard a low cost carrier your legroom was average, not bad at all really.
Thanks :) the seat pitch on this one did feel tight - I think it's 28 inches on Wizz vs around 30 on Ryanair - you can really feel the extra 2 inches
Too bad I flew from Luton in august
This was August too, did you have the same experience?
@@JTsJourneys no it was pretty good for Luton.
its a bit boring .take on a manc attitude chief.trust me.
thanks for the feedback :)
Luton is the worst airport i ever seen in the whole of Europe!
Now that's a strong statement! Certainly up there with one of the worst.
Horrible airport and organization
It serves its purpose, cheap non glamorous flights from a non glamorous airport
It serves its purpose, cheap non glamorous flights from a non glamorous airport
Flying from luton is a reason enough not to fly
I'll take anyway to fly, even if it's from Luton
