How BAD is the UK's Worst Airport? 

Thanks for watching! Don't forget to hit that LIKE 👍 button

Little to no seating areas at the gates is inexcusable. Sure, most people can stand, but what about those who find it difficult to stand for long periods of time?

Great video. Very similar to Leeds/Bradford. A small airport that has massively expanded in terms of flights/passenger volume, way in excess the facilities they have available. LBA is awful both for departures and arrivals when busy.

Great video Andy. I think this would make a great series as the whole experience of travelling can be enhanced or spoiled by the airport experience. And maybe it would help to get the poorer airports to better understand the importance of the customer interface; a video will be far more effective than an online review, especially if there's a huge community behind the content.

I love how you looked visibly dishevelled after the security experience 😂 great video looking forward to more!

Enjoyed this! Should definitely become a regular feature.

Great video Andy we flew out of Manchester airport last year in July and it was terrible a long queue just to get our bags checked in then horrendous queue to get through security and we were there 3 hours before our flight and we had 30 mins to get to gate no time too get a drink because the queue's at the bars were long, sadly I don't think we'll be back to Manchester we live in Glasgow but works out cheaper to fly from Manchester but that experience was terrible. H

Great Video Andy you should do one from Manchester airport as well

Most stressful airport to travel through, every time a nightmare

Great vid! Weird that they told you to go back to the departure lounge, something similar happened to me at Liverpool in December in the upstairs EasyJet area but the security staff just asked me to provide my boarding pass and they let me go, just for safety precautions probably :)

Like Manchester security is a nightmare. They're run by G4S or group 4 security which you might know as traffic wardens and they have exactly the same power as a traffic warden. But give them a uniform with a few toy attachments and they turn into the SAS, They can't arrest you, they annoy you instead,

Great video, would love to see more of these 😊 would love you to go and experience Leeds Bradford Airport 😉

USA here....i saw on utube awhile back that some guy made a huge sign on the grass leading to a great airport (gatwick) ??in the UK....sign said "Welcome to Luton"....and every one flying in, were all shook up that they were at the worst airport in the UK......guess they deserve that kind of recognition.....✈✈😀😀

Really enjoyed this video and it was good to see what Luton was like… I think all airports are great.. the only problem is the security.. but sort from that all airports are great. Yes and I’d love see more videos like this

As a local to Luton, it’s grown so much compared to what it was. Any security can be a nightmare at any airport to be fair had issues at Edinburgh Birmingham Heathrow Gatwick! But Compared to the issues Manchester had with check in previously a lot we’ve never had it that bad but I think a lot depends on the size of each airport and time you depart sometimes Luton has zero queues at security. I’ve done it in less than five minutes before multiple times. Car park 1 is great for spotting as well as the crash barrier on the opposite side. My daughter is currently crew at Luton and they are improving the airport substantially obviously you get your people who don’t turn up on time or always lay rushing through security and then wonder why they missed their flight, but it’s like this every airport. Each airport has advantages and disadvantages. Depends on the time of day of departure or arrival. Nevertheless, good video anyway and well done 👍

Andy - want to see a complete contrast - go to Dubai where it works like clockwork especially considering the number of passengers and flights !

Fantastic video Andy 👍👏I would love to see more videos like this 😊Really interesting to see what different airports have to offer their customers ❤️

The only London airport I've never used and have no intention to. Instead of spending money to improve it they wasted it on creating a people mover and forcing you to pay more for the privilege instead of the previous bus link.

Loved this. You should do more 👍

At least there is a LEGO Store coming soon

This series should be titled “Brownbill Investigates”. 👍

I know it's way OT but @Andy you need to include that piece of music right in the end in the AL Spotify playlist! It's one from the Countdown loop. 💖

Definitely would like to see more like this. 👍

Should have shouted me Andy, I live 1.5 miles away from the terminal haha! ^Haden

really enjoyed this video love to see more of them

I’ve always found luton security to take no more than 20 mins even when it’s busy.

Yes do more more of these please thanks! See you next in Dubai first class lounge thanks 😂

For a good experience you should try London Southend (SEN) unfortunately a bit light on routes but slowly improving after Covid.

It’s a dump and no surprise, hate flying out of there

Great addition to the AL collection, would love to see you come review LPL!!

Very depressing Airport with no availablity of any staff for general enquiries . No clear signs posts for public transport

I have flown out of Luton many many times with Easyjet up to Glasgow since 2000 ... never had any issues with security, waiting times, walks to gates etc ... I suppose I am used to the experience and it doesn't bother me :)

I always found it to be a stag/hen do airport.

Can I add to this but none UK, anyone ever been to Heraklion Airport in Crete, it makes Luton look like the Savoy Hotel. Love Crete but the thought of the return journey from this hell hole puts me off going.

We went through last November and it took us 30 mins to get through with fast track, I know they are upgrading but needs to be better organised. Very limited seating as it was so busy.

If you think this is bad, go to Leeds/Bradford. My last visit there was like touring a refugee camp….never again.

home of Wizzair UK, which is also low rated

The problem with Luton is it looks like it was designed on the cheap. The terminal looks to be missing its ceiling in most parts. The departure gates feel like hospital corridors. It’s just an awful place. But it’s frequented by low cost carriers who I guess pay very little for the facilities… So the investment just isn’t there. It’s my last favourite London airport, I wouldn’t choose to fly from there when there’s a choice.

I once was at Geneva airport and it took 70 mins to go through security, our flight had a 4hr delay though.

The lack of seating is completely unacceptable. They make it a total pain to get your wheelchair onboard (and risky - so many have been damaged in transit), then give you nowhere to sit if you come without it!

Ive flown from Luton to EDI the airport itself was crazy.To watch planes have to go to the top of carpark. Not somewhere id want to fly from again

It’s too small for the number of passengers and flights using it. Because it’s all low cost airlines paying a pittance to use it, it doesn’t get proper expansion just sticking plaster additions.

Belfast International: "hold my beer". 😉

Come to Aberdeen and see how bad it is.

It's like flying with Ryanair... Don't expect a 5-star airport if you want to pay as little as possible for the ticket.

Don't condemn any airport, before you have not experienced the airport of my hometown, Berlin BER 😱😱😱

Love it

I'm a Heathrow boy

I won’t use that airport anymore…

Fáilte go Baile Átha Cliath! 🇮🇪

Visited once and didnt find it bad at all, the lounge was great and decent enough.

My favorite UK airports are Norwich and Southampton.

I thought that this was going to be MAN - even with fast track, it's meant to be a disgrace. You can kind of understand it with an airport hosting LCCs, and all that that entails.

Come to Bristol

thougt It was STN that was the worst or to some extend LHR...

Well done!!

You would love Vancouver airport Andy 🇨🇦✈️ the best

Can you do Manchester next

Manchester is so bad that the first thing I check when choosing a holiday is if I can fly from Liverpool. The woman in charge, sacked everyone during Covid. Maybe a Karen but definitely not smart. Too dim to see all the EU workers were about to go home! Ex-airport staff easily got jobs on the same money but better hours and no travelling! Result? Hell on Earth.

Clearly never been to Leeds Bradford lol

Here's a question how many reviews are there? 82% of reviews is an irrelevant stat if we don't know what it's a percentage of and what percentage that number is of their monthly/annual pax

So why was that area not open?

Why would you have just happened to stopped filming when the security guard walked up when you had been filming everything. Hmmmmm, suspicious. If it happens to be true now you know to never stop filming. You can never have enough footage and you never know what you’ll miss.

I wonder why you don’t cover Manchester airport rated bottom of the list again on satisfaction

How can Luton be worse than Stansted?

World's worst airport Could also be Glasgow or Edinburgh has both airports offer zero amenities as no were to spot planes ano outdoors sedting yo watch planes bad security too much security nit. Compared to Manchester plus lack of airlines apart from a380 Emirates plud only 2 terminals but main terminals I'd one building and infamous gate 30 plus not much choice ftom airlines no transport links no trains etc only w bus

Yeah the other 500,000 people passing through probably doesn’t agree.. also who the fuck goes to an airport to look at the floor and ask directions to somewhere on the actual ground around the corner.. Also judging an airport on its proximity from the entrance to check in is just ridiculous. This is so petty

Its not the worst its the best

Bit harsh always travel from Luton and have never had a problem??

Manchester really has to be the worst.

Luton isnt the worst rated airport in the UK manchester is. Don’t know where you got that information from, do your research
