Luggage storage at Luton Airport

Layovers, early check-outs and terminal changes all leave Luton passengers holding bags they'd rather put down somewhere. We help you decide between the airport's own storage desk and nearby alternatives.

Luton Airport’s own facilities handle the journey to and through the terminal well — the DART runs all day and night, and trains from London reach the airport quickly with clear luggage allowances. Coach travel is tighter on bags, and hand luggage rules depend entirely on your airline, so what you can carry varies more than you might expect. Luton Airport sits on the eastern side of the town. The airport is only about 2.5 kilometres from Luton town centre. It is a single-runway airport and a base for airlines including easyJet, TUI Airways, Ryanair, and Wizz Air. The airport does not have its own luggage lockers, but passengers can store bags through the airport's left-luggage service. There are no left-luggage facilities at Luton Airport Parkway station. The Luton DART stations themselves do not provide any luggage storage or left-luggage facility. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage near Luton Airport can be booked through the website or app.

Before you fly: security, liquids and hand baggage

Liquids in hand luggage at Luton Airport must be 100ml or less per container, though you can leave them inside your bag during screening. You'll scan your boarding pass to enter the security search area, so keep it handy rather than buried in a pocket. Hand baggage size rules vary by airline at Luton, so check what your carrier allows before you pack — easyJet's sizer isn't necessarily Ryanair's.

Getting between Luton and the airport with luggage

The Luton DART links Luton Airport Parkway station to the terminal in under four minutes, running around the clock with trains up to every four minutes at peak times. A one-way adult ticket costs £4.90 when bought separately. From London, the Luton Airport Express from St Pancras International takes as little as 32 minutes including the DART transfer, and allows three items per passenger: two larger suitcases plus one smaller bag. National Express coaches are more restrictive, permitting one large suitcase or two medium cases plus a soft hand luggage item.
