Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2026Leaving Gatwick for a Flight at Luton
Gatwick and Luton sit on opposite sides of the London airport network. A pre-booked vehicle collects after the Gatwick arrival process and continues to Luton without requiring passengers to change trains in London or move between scheduled services.
The airports are roughly 70–75 miles apart by road. Around 90–120 minutes is a reasonable driving estimate, but the actual time varies with the M23, M25 and M1.

Thameslink and DART
