Deal to Luton Airport

[beccac2901]

Hi, Im trying to sort out transport to and from London Luton airport in July from Deal in Kent. Ive tried National Express but its worked out to about �70 for two people and the way back only goes as far as Canterbury as its late at night. If anyone knows any quick and cheap way to Luton then please let me know! Thanks x

For the Canterbury - London sector it would be worth waiting for fun fares to become available - one to two months ahead I think. Or try Dover - London.

London - Luton try easybus

What time does your flight get in? The last train that will get you home leaves at 20:46 and gets to Deal at 00:11.

The fare is �36 per head for the round trip from The Train Line

Hi SeaJAyPea, the flight gets into Luton at 21.10, was thinking of maybe getting an easybus from luton to victoria then trying to get back to Dover? x

Of course, Dover. Hadn't considered that.
Looks like there's a train from Luton Airport Parkway at 22:16 that gets to Dover at 01:30. Change at London Bridge. That's the last one that gets that connection. Doesn't leave you much time to get off the plane, collect your gear and get the bus to the station.

Fare is �36 each booked through www.thetrainline.com

Victoria doesn't look much better, you'd need to be there by 23:11 to get a train that gets in, via Ashford and Folkestone, at 01:48. The next one gets in at Dover at 05:28 after you've sat in Faversham for three hours.

Another thought, you can park near the airport for about �35 a week. Might be worth considering, if it's possible.

Cheers

the last bus from victoria to dover is at 23h45. std single is �12, but as dzug says, wait for the "fun" fares to be released.
