Looking to save money on your next holiday? If you’re travelling from the capital to London Luton Airport (LLA) to catch a flight this autumn, you can grab a National Express coach ticket for less than the price of a supermarket meal deal.

From flight tickets and accommodation to all the activities, meals out and shopping trips in between, the price of a getaway abroad can quickly add up, so it always pays to find the best deals and offers. Getting to the airport is worth planning ahead even for the savviest holiday-maker. And with National Express launching 10,000 coach tickets for just £2, it’s easy to cut costs.

Between the 49 direct daily services from London to slot into your travel schedule and the shortest journey taking as little as 40 minutes*, National Express coaches to London Luton Airport are discounted from 1 September. With a limited-number of tickets available with this offer, holidaymakers travelling this autumn will want to grab theirs sooner rather than later.

With LLA being one of the busiest airports in the UK and with airlines including Jet2, easyJet, Wizz Air, and Ryanair whizzing passengers off to dream destinations, the partnership between the airport and National Express is great news for thousands of travellers.

You can access the discounted fares from 1 September to 31 October by visiting Nationalexpress.com/luton2 and applying the code ‘LUTON2’ at checkout. The tickets are for trips taken between 15 September and 10 December 2026, and it’s worth noting that the deal applies to one-way services from London to London Luton Airport only. Plus, the coach tickets must be booked at least 14 days before travel.

If you don’t want to miss out on the limited number of 10,000 discounted fares, it’s best to book as early as possible.

There are 49 direct daily National Express coach services which run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so there’ll be a departure time to suit your schedule.

There are nine pick-up point locations across London which gives passengers plenty of flexibility to choose whichever one makes the most sense for their journey – whether that’s Victoria, Baker Street, Paddington, Marble Arch, St John’s Wood, Finchley Road or Golders Green. The speediest travel time, from Golders Green, is just 40 minutes to the terminal.

The coach drops passengers off at the airport bus station, which is just outside the main terminal. This makes for a simple, quick and easy walk to the check-in and arrivals areas.

As the UK’s largest coach operator, National Express is a reliable, well-connected service from hundreds of destinations across the country. Whether it’s an early morning journey or a late night on the road, passengers can count on there being a coach that suits their travel plans, with services running all day, everyday of the week.

With comfortable seating and ample leg room, plus free wifi and USB charging points, start your trip with everything you need. And when it comes to free luggage allowance, there’s plenty. Passengers can put up to 20kg of luggage in the hold for free, and they can bring one soft hand luggage item. There is also the option to pay for extra luggage allowance, with a maximum of three extra bags per person.

From travel to one of the UKs major airports or somewhere closer to home, National Express coaches appeal to passengers who are mindful of their budget, but equally, those who are wary of the environmental cost of travel.

As Mark Jennings, Interim Director of Non Aeronautical Revenue at London Luton Airport, explains: “This initiative is an example of the many ways London Luton Airport is working with coach, bus and rail operators to encourage more sustainable journeys for those travelling to the airport. We know that convenience is key for the millions of passengers who travel from LLA each year and our ever-growing network of public transport connections provide a viable alternative to taking the car.

Affordability will always be another priority for people, and we are delighted to support this exciting, cost-saving initiative to ensure the simple and friendly passenger experience we work hard to deliver each day gets off to the best possible start for National Express customers.”
