Rating : 0/10
Avoid this airport at all costs-staff rude, access impossible, poorly managed ground services, awful ambience,
dreadful queues everywhere for everything-and a charge for anything that allows the airport to make money-truly
dreadful. 1) Allow at least an hour to access the airport on exiting the M1 etc. Traffic at 05.30 (peak time)
backs up and you will be caught in it. 2) Have £2 at the ready for a 45 second drop off fee. They should pay you!
3) The airport security process was poor-just about tolerable in early May--but will be truly awful in July and
August-avoid. 4) Airside lounge a horror lounge in every single regard. 5) On arrival a week later-30 minute very
slow moving passport queue. 6)Baggage to collect? Forget it. Aircraft arrived at 12.50-luggage on belt 14.10 (yes-
1 hour and 20 minutes). 7) Traffic awful at exit-due to guess what? Road works. 8) If you are coming by train-
allow an hour for the bus to get up the traffic jammed hill from the station.
Luton airport is far and away the worst airport in Britain - if you have opportunity to fly from any other airport
then do so. If you have no alternative then don't go! Awful staff, no idea of customer care, dreadful security and
non existent assistance for disabled customers. Dreadful catering, expensive drinks and laughable, no lamentable,
"Executive" lounge. When returning it gets worse - the single worst passport/ border control in Europe. 3rd World
standards at West End prices. Shocking.

This has to be the worst airport in the world. I travel frequently and Luton has to rate as one of the worst
experiences in the world. Here are a few gripes: 1) The airport is dirty. 2) The security check in area is
unpleasant and would appear to be deliberately slow in an obvious attempt to get people to pay an additional
charge for a fast track security check. 3) Where else in the world are people charged for dropping passengers off?
4) Where else in the world do you pay for a trolley and don't get your money back? 5) The area around the airport
entrance is a foul place full of smokers and cheap and tacky food and coffee stalls. I could go on but suffice to
say that when I HAVE to use the airport my heart always sinks. As a passenger you feel you are just getting
fleeced and getting nothing in return.

I have just recently done a day trip to Copenhagen travel from and to Luton airport, when I saw the long queues
for the security check I was amazed at the chaos there. I always worry about my iPad being taken out of the tray
while I go through, why a jumper cannot cover it up I will never know. Unfortunately I set off the alarm and was
put to one side in a queue waiting to be checked, when I moved slightly so I had my tray insight one of the
officers wax very rude especially when I said I was worried about my iPad being taken, she explained there was
cctv all around but to be honest if I asked her which was my tray she probably wouldn't have know. This is the
second time out of Luton in four six months and it was worse than before. What disappoints me is the cost of this
security is placed on my ticket, but not at my choice so I feel I should get a better service. All in all it took
about twenty minutes to go through am I disgusted yes I am. Also later while waiting to fly I used some of the
toilets there, maybe they should look at spending some money there too, they were far from what I'd call good. No
matter how much you want the passenger to pass through on a trip abroad at least make it a better experience, not
a cattle herding.
An absolutely ghastly place. As others have noticed they charge you for anything they can think of. The "short
term" car park is so far away heaven help you if it is raining. Security is a farce at the best of times, at times
of minor demand it is appalling. Queued for 30+ minutes to get back into the country through immigration. Never
Absolute shambles of an airport. Security was the worst I've ever seen, just a mass of people in disorganised
queues and no staff visible anywhere. I should be seen it coming when I noticed the extensive advertisements for
priority security passes - they were pushing you to buy this far more than other airports I've been to and it's
clear they are happy to leave the main security hall in chaos do that people will buy a priority pass next time.
Although I sincerely hope there isn't a next time for me - I will use any other airport of given the choice.
Rating : 3/10
Have used Luton for many years on a regular basis. £2.50 to pick up and drop off is a rip off. Seating facilities
in departures have been sacrificed to allow more retail outlets, hence difficulty finding somewhere to sit -
particularly if only one plane is delayed. Last arrival on 18th March, delayed 20 minutes on plane as nobody had
unlocked door to get into terminal! Finally and not wishing to criticise security because its so essential, but
with two knee replacements which cause the scanner to go off, I am body searched to a degree I have never
experienced at any other airport. Just find it hugely irritating with rarely anything other than curt dismissal
when complete.
I refused to pay £2.00 just to collect my partner from the airport, it takes exactly 30 seconds to put her luggage
in the car and drive off, so I stopped outside on the roundabout, and received a lovely fine of £80 in the post, Â
£40 if you pay straight away! Something needs to be done about this, how can they justify charging people £2.00 to
drop off or collect passengers?
The car park situation is outrageous today due to incompetence from airport staff it has taken 2 hours to Drop my
mother of at the airport and that was from the Holiday inn next to the airport. This should take 15 mins,
recommendations - do not close of the main road going out of the airport on a Saturday lunch time! Have people
directing traffic, on another note Luton feel the need to charge £2.50 to drop of people - what a rip of this is
free in other airports I should invoice them my time lost - they would to me!
Another scam to drag more money from passengers. Security now refusing to let through your own plastic bags for
liquids if they have any lines/writing on them as they obstruct what is in the bag. So what do you have to do?
Buy their own ones at £2 for 2 small ones. Passengers being treated as cash cows for this abysmal airport.
Arriving at night, I asked the bus driver to take me to the area of the long stay car park where I had left my car
and told him the reference. Instead, he dropped me off a long way from the correct area. As a result I had to drag
four heavy bags around the ranks of cars, in torrential rain and almost total darkness in a vain search for my
car. Eventually I returned to the bus stop and telephoned for help and was eventually guided to the correct
parking place which was a considerable distance away, by which time my luggage and I were completely drenched.
This is a disgrace.
I found the security checks very slow on the Friday morning I travelled with my family to Barcelona from Luton
airport. The queues were far too slow and the whole of the waiting area was packed! If we stayed in the queue,
then we would have missed our flight. We had to ask the guard to let us skip the queues. Other people by us missed
their flights. The airport should give a clear guidance on how busy this area can be or was at that time. I
realize security is most important but this area seemed out of control to me, we made our flight gate with only
minutes to spare. Also we did not know that the boarding gate was a good 5 minutes walk away! Nobody on hand to
ask for help, just all panic.
Charging to drop people off is unacceptable. Sure, charge for those that linger in the drop off area too long,
but Luton Airport, how do you honestly justify charging £2 for pulling up outside the terminal and unloading your
friends and their luggage in less than 5 minutes? No other airport I have ever used rips travellers off like
Luton airport security is a shambles. Be warned long queues causing passengers to miss their flights. The
airport is not taking responsibility for long queues - they must know the volumes of expected passengers and when
peak times are and are not providing enough facilities to cope. They should inform the airlines to tell their
passengers to allow more time. Easyjet say if you've checked in online arriving 40 mins before a flight is
sufficient time when it clearly is not especially for early morning flights. Airport treatment of travellers who
have missed flights having turned up on time is appalling - no customer care, no help provided. The whole Luton
experience is extremely poor.
Nice little airport spoilt by just a few things. I would like to see drop off directly outside the terminal, not
everyone is up to the walk from the car park drop off points. Beware of the duty free shop it's one big rip off.
There is no Duty Free within the EEC and you will pay tax on what is already overpriced goods. Whisky priced
£39.99 plus hidden tax of £8.00. Same drink at Malta £31 Euro. Beware.
I have been flying to and from Munich, every 3-4 months for the past 6 years, normally from Stansted or Gatwick. I
was pleased to see that easyjet had introduced a new Luton-Munich route last November. For me, Luton is only 30
minute train journey. I never did understand why the 'London' Airports had such long departure/arrival queues
compared to other European Airports, so I booked my next Munich trip from Luton. The outward Journey was on time,
and the arrival into Munich was smooth and efficient. The return to Luton was a nightmare - after touch down,
there was a delay in getting off the plane, the cabin crew explained that as we had arrived ahead of schedule and
ground staff were not really expecting us! Eventually we entered the Terminal Building, then a long brisk walk and
bang! Suddenly to the back of a horrendous looking queue (EU Nationals), the Non-EU Nationals happily breezed
passed us on the Left at speed, only to find that further down the line (30 minutes later) both queues merged
together! I then notice a printed sign that warned of a '30 minutes delay from this point' and I hear a pre-
recorded announcement advising of delays. I pointed to the sign and asked a nearby police officer which part of
the joke I missed, he advised that 30 minutes is an underestimate, he noticed that I had an ePassport, and
suggested a duck/dive/shove/push/jump/limbo route, that halved the time. Maybe an earlier sign that reads
'ePassport holders this way' would have been nice. Eventually I am through, ready to sprint to the shuttle bus,
because I know that if I don't get the 9.50pm train to Wellingborough from Parkway, I will miss the last bus home.
Wait I haven't re-claimed by bag yet, the motionless conveyor belt was full, with the previous flights luggage
stacked on the floor. I boarded my train, and collapsed with relief, as the whistle was blown and the doors
started to close.

Very surprised at the negative reviews about London Luton. I have a choice between Birmingham and Luton to fly to
Dublin and have chosen Luton most of the time because it's that bit closer. It's not a pretty airport but it's
easy to use and I totally disagree regarding the staff, they have been some of the nicest (and consistently so!)
of any airport I've used, especially going through security, without exception they have all been beyond friendly
and helpful. Food choices are not bad and the facilities are generally clean. On the down side, the gate I've
mostly used, Gate 15, is not great, with only a few seats for a full plane load of passengers. In the general
concourse too there are not enough seats unless you decide to use one of the restaurants or cafes. And you need a
bus to get to the train station, long term car parks and the car hire centre. But that can be expected at a lot of
airports. Luton doesn't have the big airlines or traffic of the other London airports so I guess it hasn't had
the same ability to develop top class facilities but it has always been a pleasant experience arriving or
departing every time I've used it. I think some people leaving reviews should bear in mind that at Luton they're
boarding airlines like Easyjet, Ryanair and Wizzair. It's not the golden age of flying and we're not boarding
Constellations to cross the Atlantic. This is Luton Airport with low cost airlines and they've done a great job
each and every time I've gone through.
I viewed this site after travelling through Luton Airport and am somewhat relieved to see that I am not the only
person who thinks that it's a dump ! I've been using the airport for many years, but after what seems to be a
steady decline in appearance, service and actually getting to the airport, I now only use it when all other
options are limited. I find the parking facilities amongst the worse of probably any airport I've ever used. Why I
have to navigate through traffic, in the drizzle (no covered walkways, in this climate?), in a sort of zig zag
towards the terminal. I now use Stanstead (though that's got its own issues) instead, but prefer Heathrow for its
ease of access and easy parking.
Luton to Reykjavik and return. The parking area is poor but the transfer bus was good, the only saving grace about
this place. The check-in was fine but the departure lounge was overcrowded. Security was a joke, queues
everywhere. On exiting the departure lounge for our flight we discovered there are no toilets before getting on
the plane. The one we found back in the departure area was disgusting. On our return we had to wait on the tarmac
to get to customs / immigration. The room itself, as with departure facilities are totally inadequate. If you are
flying from Luton and can find a better option, take it. This place fails on all manner of things. Parking,
security, toilets, space and above all cleanliness.
I agree with other reviewers that there is a bit of grubbiness about the place. Staff were nice though. My advice
is don't give yourself any extra time if using this airport - straight in and out.
Chaotic, drab, disinterested staff, dirty facilities. Long walks to gates, up and down stairs only to walk across
the tarmac to climb stairs into a plane. Other small airports have far better facilities than Luton.
Used Luton airport on the 25th October 2014, flying back from Lisbon, due to staff cutbacks/shortages with the
ground staff, I was delayed leaving the plane by 30 minutes, and another 30 minutes to clear boarder control. I
would not recommend using Luton unless you have no other option.
What a dump Luton Airport is! To get from aircraft to arrivals hall you are required to ascend and descent various
sets of stairs and walk along corridors, all in very poor state of decoration. Utterly unwelcoming. Less than half
of immigration desks staffed, though that is probably down to the Border Agency not the airport authorities.
Dirty and inefficient with rude staff. We queued for one hour to get through security and passport control. Aspire
lounge is horrible. Limited food and with a very downmarket feel about the place. Dirty, worn out chairs with
stains on them. Luton Airport is a crowded, grubby and unpleasant place to start any trip.
Luton Airport is a truly awful destination. There is no sense of it being designed for its existing number of
passengers. Passport queues are long and sprawling, escalators are sometimes shut leaving staircases more fitting
to a small terraced house to service 1000s of arrivals. Surely fundamental changes need to take place in advance
of the proposed developments.
I had the unfortunate misfortune to use Luton airport in September 2014. The arrivals heading to passport control
was little more than a scrum. Being elderly and short, I was pushed and knocked about by people who thought that
queuing was optional! There were too many people trying to pass through to passport control in an area not
designed for this number of people. We were herded along a tunnel which took over 1 hour just to reach passport
control - there were not enough staff to deal with the volume of people and after another 30 minutes wait, I was
able to use my new style passport to get out! I dread to think what travelers from abroad think of their first
taste of England.
Firstly there is the awful journey to and from the airport (there's no dedicated train to/from London so you have
to pile into whichever packed express train to/from Leicester or Nottingham is passing through, and you then have
to schlep onto a packed bus to get to/from the railway station). Once inside, you enter an overcrowded area of
queues that lasts all the way to the aircraft door. The main departure area inside the airport is about three
times too small for the number of people passing through and you end up with vast crowds lurking near the corridor
to the gates watching the departure boards. There are tiny areas by the gates themselves, with no seating, and
which (for any pair of gates) is reached down a narrow staircase. Extraordinarily, the airport seems to board two
aircraft's from adjacent gates at the same time, which results in two plane-loads of people queuing up the
staircase and back down the corridor, which means lots of confused people in the wrong queue, pushing in and just
lots of general unpleasantness. Getting onto the plane is just a nasty, sweaty, aggressive experience that I would
never want to book-end an otherwise beautiful holiday.
This airport is staggeringly poor and seems to be getting worse with time. Finding something positive to say about
it is a struggle. There's little point in me listing the vast array of problems with Luton, just read some of the
review below. Suffice to say, I am as experienced a traveller as some of the pilots that use it, passing through
it a minimum of twice per week, and I loathe it increasingly with each visit. The route I fly is not well served,
therefore I have little choice but to fly from Luton, although I choose Heathrow whenever possible and I'm willing
to pay a premium to fly from there. It has descended into a national disgrace and an award winning representative
for the problems incurred when money-grabbing private enterprise is given the concession to run a public service.
The government needs to step in and take action, I feel embarrassed to be British whenever I use this airport and
witness the bewildered array of overseas visitors, wondering what has happened.
Parking especially is a big problem at Luton. Drop off / pick up car park had a 15 minutes limit for £2 but if you
leave the car unattended within the 15 mins they will quickly tow it away and you have to pay a £80 fine. The
truck drivers are actually watching for who's leaving the car. I've personally seen someone who had to help his
old father with the luggage to the terminal and within 10 minutes his car was towed away to the mid term car park,
what a disgrace! As a kind of relief there's a 30 minutes free parking at mid term car park but the drivers must
be very careful as it recently happened to me that I drove to the exit barriers after 28 minutes and somehow I've
lost my ticket in the car, I desperately looked for it another 2 minutes then finally found it. Well, it was
exactly 30 mins 25 seconds when I inserted it in the machine but I was asked to pay a full hours fee. When I
called the car park office a grumpy guy simply said "you must pay, I cannot let you out as you overstayed the free
30 minutes" and wouldn't listen that it's only been 25 seconds, he was just repeating the above like a robot. And
yes, I had to pay £6.90 + £1.95 credit card fee - all this for a mere 25 seconds. My honest opinion as a traveller
is that Luton is one of the worst airports in Europe, even the eastern European airports are treating the
customers with respect compared to Luton's staff treating us as cattle when coming into UK, holding us in massive
queues and seeing any airport user as a cash cow. All in all, Luton is a really unwelcoming airport, staff are
often unhelpful to say at least, there's even £2 charge for luggage trolley! Avoid this horrible airport if you
Airports come in all shapes and sizes and you kind of take them for what they are, a temporary waiting room. Some
are better then others and the really nice ones like Paris-Orly bring a certain romanticism back to flying.
Unfortunately Luton is about as romantic as flying bricks to the head. It's as if someone turned a functioning
airport and flipped it upside down then turned it in side out. Terminal concourses that are 4 stories high with no
sky bridges for planes like the 737 and A-319. This means walking down 4 flights of stairs to get to the tarmac
then climb back up stairs to get onto the airplane. I wasn't even mad, I was dumbfounded. I really couldn't
believe what I was seeing which made me chuckle a bit. Just to hammer the point home, said concourses were
extremely narrow and lacked any visible seating so it was standing room only until the plane was ready to board.
I've only flown out the once so I don't know if this is just one terminal and concourse leg or an example of the
entire airport. Judging by the spartan check in hall and uninterested security screeners talking about their
weekend across two lanes I'm going to guess it's par for the course.

The passport control section needs help and quickly. We arrived at midnight along with we think 3 other planes
and there were only two operatives at passport control. Surely there could have been more, something needs to be
done as this happened last year. Yes we have to check back into the UK but no we don't need to be treated like
I have been using Luton for over 20 years for both business and pleasure, and it just keeps getting progressively
worse. I have had the privilege of travelling all over the world, and even so called 3rd world countries do a
better job than Luton. They seem obsessed with trying to extract the most amount of cash from every customer.
There are queues for everything, and unless you are lucky enough to be at a gate near the terminal, you end up
walking miles. I only live 20 minutes from the airport, but would rather drive 50 minutes to Stansted than use
I'm normally not one to complain easily, but Luton today was a very unpleasant experience. The wait at security
was almost half an hour and yet 6 out of 12 positions were closed. And that's on a Friday afternoon/evening. On
top some of the staff were really grumpy and unfriendly.
Avoid if travelling to London. The airport bus is a misery and adds an hour to your transfer time by the time
you've waited, not been able to get on the first bus, bought a ticket, fought through traffic and then left at the
station with 150 other passengers and 1 ticket desk. Gatwick and even Stansted much easier airport/rail
Why is Luton Airport charging for trolleys? I just had to witness a foreign visitor struggling in tears with her
luggage and children as she didn't have any pounds or euros. I gave her the money she needed. I felt ashamed to
be English!
Sadly not a good experience. Landed at 11.35 massive passport queue not organised very well then onto baggage
collect our flight came in before others and we were last out I couldn't believe it took an hour and a half. The
airport needs more staff!
The worst UK airport in my experience. Most other airports supply free plastic bags at security for toothpaste
etc, Luton charge for this. Luton charges £2 for trolleys, the last thing a passenger arriving from overseas
needs if they have no change. We waited over an hour for our baggage on our return. Large queues at security, it
appears that they open and close x-ray stations to ensure long queues so people have to pay for priority security,
nowhere to put your shoes back on. Insufficient seating in the departure lounge, almost no seating by the gates.
Will only use this airport as a last report.
Very hostile place, especially if you approach with a car, would rather avoid it altogether if possible.

Had early Tuesday morning flight with easyJet to Mykonos. Taxi set-down was ok, if a bit of a chilly walk into
terminal which is not easy with young children. After reading reports of delays and queues, booked priority lane
which worked well. Staff were friendly. Only downside charging non-refundable £2 for a trolley.
Rating : 10/10
We flew in and out of Luton airport recently and found the whole experience very good, the staff were always
pleasant and helpful, a real pleasure to pass through. My wife and I both commented on the good experience, quite
a refreshing change from many airports we have experienced.
Flew into London Luton last night - what a nightmare - worst airport experience by far. Airport staff were just
plain incompetent, runway wasn't ready, gate wasn't ready, had to be bussed in to terminal but buses weren't
ready, etc. But the worst was dealing with their sadistic border control agents who deliberately dragged on what
should have been a straightforward process even though I was with my exhausted 5 year old and it was way past
midnight. Will avoid this airport at all costs in the future.
Luton airport just not able to handling the numbers of flights at all. When 3 flights arrive nearly same time, the
passport checking ruin your scheduled connection because they not able to handling such number of passengers. I'm
a little Why? It looks so simple, more passengers need more service! Any other airport management able to handling
this, only Luton airport management not care about this! My suggestion is avoid this airport or watch out when
they are busy with flights - more than three flights arrival within 30 mins are too much for them!
I flew out of Luton last Thursday 17th July, mid-morning. From my experience I entirely fail to see why so many
people slate this airport. The only negative was the queuing to get off the M1 due to the roadworks and that is
not the fault of the airport! I used an off airport car park called Central Car Storage, it cost £30 for 6 days
and is only 4 min from the terminal. Very easy, quick and no hassle. Security was a breeze, maybe 5 mins waiting
and friendly and efficient staff. One of our bags was picked out for extra screening and this was handled in a
professional manner. I would recommend Pret a Manger as the best place airside to kill time. They do a nice coffee
for 99p (definitely the cheapest I have found in any airport or railway station recently), have quite comfortable
chairs and a nice view of the runway. None of the departure facilities were overcrowded and the toilets were
clean. It was a bit of a hike to gate 4 where our flight went from but nothing like the miles you can go at
Gatwick sometimes. The flight (Ryanair) left on time. As we had hand baggage only I can't comment on bag check-in.
All-in-all it was a perfectly acceptable experience and certainly comparable to many airports I have flown from in
Europe. I would be happy to fly from there again any time. So don't believe all the reviews!
The problems with this so called "airport" are very simple: a big increase in passenger traffic and a useless and
inept management. Back in 2004 Luton was ok, nothing special but perfectly acceptable as a low-cost airport
nowhere near the hellhole that has become now. Nothing wrong with profit but that should not come at the expense
of providing passengers with an acceptable travel experience. So here is my personal plea: passengers have a
choice. Instead of complaining lets stop using this airport altogether and send a clear message to the people
running this place. When they're hit in the wallet maybe then things will improve. They certainly cannot get any
Truly a dreadful experience. One wonders why the Government allows the charlatans running this squalid gateway to
and from the UK to get away with the miserable service that they provide. Flying to and returning from Hamburg
emphasises the sense of German efficiency and British incompetence.
Absolutely appalling. We had to wait for over an hour for our luggage to arrive on the carrousel after arriving
back from Faro last Saturday afternoon. No explanation and no one around to ask. How can it possibly take so long
to get from the plane when it is such a short distance to the terminal. This is not the longest wait we have had
for luggage at Luton, we waited 2 hours the last time we used the airport. I felt sorry for the young families
returning with very young children and babies, their buggies were the last things to arrive from the plane! I
certainly wouldn't recommend this airport to anyone.

Travelled to Faro on 15th June with Easyjet. Was quick through check in, the security people efficient, no
problems there. There were enough facilities for what we required. We were kept waiting on the stairs for nearly
30 minutes because our aircraft was awaiting an incoming flight which had passengers on for our flight. On our
return on the 28th had a long wait for our suitcases, but were quick through passport control. The driver of the
bus to the mid term car park could have been more pleasant, just sat in his seat no smile, nothing, looked as if
he was doing his job under duress. Because our original flight on the 25th had been cancelled we over stayed our
welcome by three days. So before we could get out of the car park and were charged an extra £60, a case of being
taken advantage of compared to the original fee.
Queues so long for EasyJet baggage drop and Luton security that you may miss your flight if you allow only 2
hours. Ridiculous.
Arrived at Luton two hour before flight departure and due to lack of staff had to wait three hours to check
luggage in. Flight was delayed due to this. Arrived in Zakynthos and bag was lost. Waited four days for it to
arrive. On return to Luton waited in aircraft for ten minutes because no one available to escort us from plane to
arrival hall. Waited forty minutes for luggage to arrive at carousel. Appalling airport. So many staffing problems
and luggage delay ruined our holiday. Though this is our local airport we are travelling three times as far for
our next flight to east mids.
Arguably one of the most dysfunctional airports I have ever been to. Just getting there is a nightmare with
constant road works right from the M1. Plus unlike every other London airport, the train station is a 10 minutes
bus journey away so you have to hang around waiting and trudge on and off busses and trains, which are unreliable
to say the least and not ideal with 20kg of luggage. The Terminal itself is a dark, gloomy and dirty congested
dump. Queues to Security are a joke with some passengers even backing onto the stairs and staff didn't make the
process any better. Departures is fractionally better in terms of light but was cramped, nowhere to sit, shops and
restaurants packed out, lack of shops and restaurants, toilets in bad condition and generally too hot and stuffy.
When it came to boarding, we were held in a narrow stairwell for 20 minutes which is unacceptable. Arrival was
slightly better but still not good enough taking well over an hour from disembarking to walking outside the
Terminal. The airport is just too small for how many passengers it handles and they want to expand from 10 to 18
million passengers a year with just a few extra Security lanes, shops, seating areas and a new car park? A place
to always steer clear of I think.
Luton Airport is not fit for how many passengers pass through the airport everyday. When I travelled to Spain last
month passport control was heaving as 10+ flight had arrived at the airport in the space of an hour. Then you have
to wait another half hour to collect your luggage. Absolutely ridiculous. Also the terminal is quite dirty and is
looking very old and tired. Luton Airport needs a huge revamp if they are to compete with other airports in the
London Area. But Luton is a local airport and easy to access. This is the only reason I fly from/to Luton.
Security staff at Luton are incredibly rude and grumpy. The queues are incredibly long and the airport is
understaffed. By far the worst airport security team in the UK.
Luton airport, in my personal experience, is not fit for purpose. Luton is very poorly sign-posted. It is
extremely difficult to approach from the M1 and the Management of the airport appear to have made no attempt to
recognise and deal with the difficulties. Equally, there are competing parking firms, one of which appears to be
the official on-line firm for the main car park, it is not. It appears that many people pay this other firm,
online, arrive at the airport and then have to pay the top rate at the official car park. My flight cost about £
£100, the combined parking cost nearly £150. So, do not use Luton airport until the management fix their amateur
sign posting and prevent 'scam' parking schemes.
Airport is difficult to get to. Airport parking and airport shops are incredibly expensive in comparison to
equivalent BAA facilities, i.e. Stansted and other UK airports. Biggest problem at Luton airport is the constant
bombardment of people conducting surveys. These individuals often pretend to be airport officials and give the
impression that you do not have any option but to respond to their questions. I try to avoid this airport now.
Heathrow and Stansted is much more user friendly.
The airport that loves queues! I travel a lot for work and Luton is by far the worst airport In the UK everywhere
you go there are more queues to join, whether you want a coffee or the toilet join the queue! A terrible airport
Security staff needlessly ungracious and rude. I don't know why the security person decided that my transparent
liquids bag wasn't suitable despite the fact that it has been half way around the world through numerous security
checks. It's a beaten up clear plastic bag that is perhaps a centimetre too big, however it only ever has two
things in it and clearly unless you are out to sell a replacement plastic bag as a punishment should cause no one
any grief at all. The jobsworth on security made me throw my plastic bag away. To the management at Luton, try and
remember your travelling public are your customers and we have a choice. I haven't flown out of Luton before and I
won't again.
Rating : 7/10
Overall it is an ugly eyesore but perfectly functional and fairly easy to use. Could be a lot worse. Generally a
good airport. Food not bad, the breakfast baps are good but horrendously expensive food us a minus point here!
We are not made of money.
I travel a lot. I see many Airports. Luton is one of the worst. It is clear that the Owners and its Management
know this. 'Which' rated it recently the worst airport in the UK and the reviews posted here are nearly all
negative. Yet nothing changes. For those who want to see things improve I suggest that pressure should be put on
the airlines that use Luton most, like Easyjet. Were Easyjet to even threaten to withdraw from Luton Airport I
suspect the Owners/Management might respond. They do not have to care about the likes of us passengers/customers.
We are captive inconveniences. You fly from Luton because you have to, you do not choose to do this. You wouldn't
if you could choose but the airlines can and do. You choose the airlines you travel on so let them know that you
would like to omit Luton airport from your travel plans till such time that it improves its facilities and the
treatment of people who use it.
Oh deary me, what a load of moaning minnies. The annual trip on holiday and they are up in arms about what they
perceive as ghastly service standards from before they even step into the airport to when they have left. Oh, and
don't forget to grouse about coming back into Luton. Sadly despite all of that - yup - they will be back next year
to have another crack at it and forget completely what they really should have learned and remembered the previous
year. Hats off to Luton in 2014 - yes, its a very fine airport operation these days - as good as most 10M
passenger throughput airports - and far better than most. Secrets to make getting through faster and easier? Of
course I have mine, so let the moaners moan and just accept there all always people who create their own issues
through not reading the paperwork or choosing to ignore it and then go looking for other 'problems'.
We flew to Arrecife, Lanzarote 3rd April, via Ryanair. Despite the fact that we arrived at the 2 hr-before-flight-
time recommended, the queues at check-in desks were building fast. There were quite a few people who obviously had
overweight bags and were being asked to adjust them. This seemed only to be happening at the Ryanair desks. Other
adjacent C/I desks were moving at the normal rate. The flight was delayed by half an hour due to arguments, and
under-manning at the C/I stage. Although this is probably a regular feature when flying with Ryanair, it should be
discouraged by the airport authority as it leads to passenger stress, potential rudeness to C/I staff, and loss of
revenue in the departure lounge and shops, because passengers are denied any time to have a pre-flight break. Oh,
and the passenger drop-off fee of £2, whilst small, is a cheek I think.
By far the worst airport I have experienced. Sadly it is often the most convenient for European visits. £2 for a
Taxi drop off too far from the departures building. Then you have to pay for a trolley both going and upon your
return. I dread what our overseas visitors think about that. £2 for the legally specified sized plastic bags to
hold the regulation sized toothpastes / cosmetics face creams etc or else you will not be travelling. Then the
chaos of the departure shopping mall. Minimum seating, impossible departure signage almost invisible by neon
screaming at you to come in and buy, buy, buy. Not a clock to be seen anywhere. Returning causes more anxiety, it
is not unusual for your baggage to take over an hour to appear on the carrousel, shabby and miserable. To get a
taxi for onward travel requires a pre arranged booking which is dodgy, because you need to take into account the
delayed baggage problem and heaven help you if it is raining and usually it does, because you have the long trek
to find the cab and again pay for a trolley and the £2 to release the cab from the car park.
Worst airport in Europe! I have been commuting around all big airports in Europe in the last few years. Flying 2-3
times a week. London Luton airport is by far the worst airport. Especially the people at the security checks are
unbelievably rude and unprofessional. Shouting at passengers the entire time like they are inmates of a max
security prison.
Security staff at customs somewhat challenging. The plastic bag I was carrying my liquids in was too big! This bag
was acceptable in 2 other airports. I had no change to purchase the bags that were the correct size and was told
by the security man that I had better find the money from somewhere or I wouldn't be allowed to travel. At this
point my 6 year old son who was travelling with me became very upset. A young man behind me in the queue gave me a
pound to purchase the "correct" size plastic bags. Surly this rudeness by security staff was uncalled for.
Apart from the fact that all the reviews describe Luton accurately. The depressing thing is that there is no
acknowledgement from the Airport management that there is anything wrong. I can only conclude that it's ownership
by Luton Borough Council puts it in the same category as most public services in Luton! The sooner they realise
that everyone passing through the airport is a customer and not a cash cow to be exploited, the better.
By far the least pleasant airport I have used. The security staff (not all, some) are like children in uniforms.
No idea how to deal with people. The airport is unbelievably mercenary - £2 for dropping someone off, money for
plastic bags. The last time I traveled through Luton (January) - flying with Ryanair was the pleasant bit - nice
staff, efficient system. Never thought I would say that. If I had the equal choice - I would not choose Luton
I can fully understand some of the bad reviews regarding Luton. I have been travelling through Luton every week
for the past 18 months. For the first few weeks, I experienced a lot of the issues, especially with the Security
Staff. They are not all bad but some of them are out and out "jobsworths", especially the resealable plastic bag
merchants. I was told my bag was too big when all that was in it was a small tube of travel toothpaste and a 100ml
Deodorant Spray. Needless to say I objected as I travel internationally all the time and had never had objections
to my "oversize bag) at Heathrow, Schipol, Rome, Sofia etc, etc. Fortunately, the guy before me had also been
stitched up so he gave me one of his. Finally, I wised up and now I always buy a Priority Pass through Security
and I joined Priority Pass giving me Lounge access. Luton is what it is, a budget airline airport. For me, as a
business traveller Luton is very convenient and as a lone traveller, I just put up with all the pitfalls but I
would hate to travel through there with a young family, especially during the summer holidays - it just isn't
geared up for it.
Travelled through Luton on Friday at 0700. Whilst very busy no real delays through security and everything seemed
to be running smoothly. Flight departed on time. Returning on Sunday at 1900, again no
problems other than having
to wait about 10/12 mins for our luggage. Overall quite satisfactory.
The rudest security check staff I have seen. Inverness is not far behind Luton, sadly for the beautiful country
where my husband was born and it's the reason we come back again and again, anyhow we will not fly but take
trains or drive.
Travelling with children (5 year old and 6 month old baby) through Luton was a challenge. Queued on the stairs
when boarding (Gate 17) for at least 20 minutes. Many families carrying babies in prams, some got stuck in the
corridor on the stairs, where lack of air transfer makes the situation even worse. Ridiculous!
Very disappointed that the security services are so slow it took over half an hour to get true and due to this I
missed the flight and had to buy another ticket and having to wait over 4 hours to the next flight.
Another horrendous visit to Luton Airport. Despite vowing I would never go there again I did. Having arrived 1 hr
and 15 mins prior to my flight (and at 0600hrs) the queue through security was evidently going to take too long,
forcing me to pay for a priority pass. Whilst going through I was then told the plastic bag which my liquids were
in was too big. When I asked why every other airport I have travelled through (10-15) accepts them I was given no
explanation. It was re stated that I need to spend money buying their bags. When through in departures it is even
more evident that the capacity is simply not enough the number of passengers. Despite being very early every shop,
cafe and seating area was overwhelmed. More queues for any of the places to eat, and numerous people sitting in
corridors due to the lack of seating. Luton Airport management need to look at other small airports, Southampton,
Edinburgh etc who can get the service right. I will not use this airport again.
Visited twice and a terrible experience both times. Wanted to collect a friend and tried to book mid term car
parking for an hour, website wouldn't let me. Left car there on understanding you get 30 min free, spent 10 min
waiting for bus to terminal and 15 min waiting for the bus back, ended up paying almost £20 for an hours parking
or £20 for 30 min if you take away the 30 min free. Second time I used the drop off, that costs £2. It feels
terrible having to just dump friends at the roadside, pay £2 for the privilege of doing so and then panic about
getting out. 15 min from driving in and out is not enough to get people out of a car, coats on, luggage out and
then say goodbye, few days later I get a bill in the post saying I had overstayed my 15 min and a fine of £80.
Currently arguing the point as my clock & watch say I was out of there before 15 min. Feels like they are
desperate to rip off all people passing through the airport, maybe from trolley hire, VIP security, express
boarding etc. I'm surprised they haven't starting charging for using toilets yes. I've spent 13 years travelling
and working all over the world, I've never had the same terrible feeling of being conned as I did after going into
Luton. I'll be trying hard to avoid ever returning and will be telling all my friends to avoid it.
Queuing taken to an art form. Queued to check in - 40 minutes (its much worse early morning as many flights go
before 09.00) queued for security 30 minutes. Queued on the stairs near the airbridge 20 minutes when boarding.
On the way back queued for 20 minutes at passport control. On the basis you spend all your time queuing there is
not time to visit the shops they will try and rob you at every opportunity (£2 for a plastic bag etc). There were
two you ladies travelling on my inbound flight with young children one of whom was heavily pregnant. Were the
buggies delivered to the aircraft steps? - no they were delivered the baggage belt a good way away and on the
other side of the ridiculous passport queue. I've been though a lot of airports in my time and this has got to be
the worst I've ever had the misfortune to use. Its 30+ years since I travelled from this joke of an airport and I
will not use again unless there is no other option.
We will never fly from Luton airport again. Security is simply a money making scam at this airport. The only
liquid I had was an anti-bacterial gel less than 100ml which I took out of my carry on bag and placed in the tray
for x-ray. The security person said it needs to be in a re-sealable clear plastic bag. I asked for one, he said
they were £1 each. I said the anti-bacterial cost less than that and he could keep it. I then noticed the person
in front of me had several loose liquid bottles in their tray (not in a bag) and pointed it out to him. He said "I
didn't check that tray my colleague did". However, this wasn't the only issue, my wife never takes liquids out of
her handbag when going through security and she's been pulled up on it every time at Gatwick, Stansted and
Heathrow. My wife was behind me this time at Luton airport security and again left her liquids in her bag. They
went through the x-ray machine and no one pulled her up on having liquids in her handbag, and it wasn't one little
mascara, but several liquids in small bottles such as cosmetics, nose drops and an anti-bacterial. Therefore, my
conclusion is that the security is a joke and they don't care if you have liquids in your handbag, but if you put
them loose in the tray on show then prepare to be charged a £1 for bag.
I work as a driver for a major travel company, taking and collecting clients from mainly Heathrow and Gatwick
Airports. I had the misfortune to collect clients for the first time from Luton on Monday. What an absolute
disgrace of an airport waiting to rip you off at every turn. They had the audacity to charge £7.90 for an hours
parking on what looks like a bomb site then wanted another £1.75 to pay by credit card, and all with a very long
walk and no shelter from bad weather from terminal to car. (Heathrow T5 is £6.00 per hour undercover, two minutes
from the Terminal and no credit card fees. I will be speaking to the Tour Organiser and asking them not to use
this airport again.
Staff either utterly disinterested or extremely rude. Total rip off with paying for plastic bags at security. I
was forced to buy despite having provided my own as apparently it was the wrong size and prevented from
progressing through security until I had done so. Biggest problem is rudeness of staff and their attitude to
customers in general, have never felt this way in an airport before. Will not fly from here again!
I have the dubious 'pleasure' of having to fly from this airport twice a week, just getting dropped off is an
issue! The airport appear to have fences along the roadsides on a two mile radius around the airport forcing you
into a minimum £2 drop off area. If you want to park longer, take out a mortgage and don't expect a car park -
imagine pouring tarmac onto a ploughed field and you get a feel for where you will leave your car. The staff in
security are unbelievably rude which is a shame as you will spend so long in there by the time you get out they
will feel like family to you, the queues are huge, and generally only two lanes are open of which one I believe is
mainly for gruff and grumpy staff to use. OK arriving, if you are lucky enough to be at the gate near arrivals I
envy you, the rest of us have to wait 10 minutes for a bus as our arrival always appears to take the ground crew
by surprise, I mean its a big orange aircraft what's not to miss? On departures this week, we sat onboard for an
hour as we waiting for the fuel truck to arrive If I could fly from a different airport I would, my suggestions on
improving the airport? Knock it down and try again.
How can they charge £2 for a drop-off which took all of 30 seconds, and charge £2 for a trolley? The drop-off is
not even adjacent to the terminal! Even the staff agreed with me it was a rip-off.
What a joke of an airport. Trying to get every extra pound out of you. £2 to drop someone off, £5 for one hour of
wifi for starters. Just things you would expect 'international airports' to provide free of charge. Security were
on the grumpy side but on par with other airports. Got through reasonably quickly as we flew at a quiet time of
day. Only about 5 seats at every boarding gate so when flying with an airline with no seat allocation you're
sitting on the floor for at least 30 minutes waiting to board to get a choice of seat. Coming back into the UK,
the EU passport line was very long and the non-EU very short. We were held up a bit longer as non-EU passport
holders due to others ahead of us having visa problems but staff worked as efficiently as possible to get through
the backlog. In terms of facilities and charges, it's not what I expect of an international airport. Bus terminals
have more class than this airport.
Although mid-term car park is advertised as free for the first 30 mins, you will be very easily charged because it
is almost impossible to return to your vehicle in less than 32-33mins. I have used multiple times the mid-term car
park to leave my car whilst taking someone to the airport and only once I've managed to return in 28mins. They
should make the first 60mins free and/or allow you to walk into the terminal. I guess it's just a way for them to
make easy money with us. Most of the times I've used that car park, I was charged because I have returned in 32,
33, 35, 43 minutes. It is incredible. What they are thinking? I mean they don't even have asphalt. They charge you
for leaving your car on a muddy field.

Neighbourhood watch
In my street the odd-numbered houses are on the left and the even-numbered houses are on the right. The first house on the left, number 1, is immediately opposite number 2, then number 3 is opposite number 4, and so on. Each house has its number on the gate.
On a recent walk I started at house number 1 and walked up the left-hand side of the road to the very end, then I crossed to the house opposite and walked back down the right-hand side until I reached my own house.
I counted the number of occurrences of the digit 1 that I had seen on the gates, and the number of occurrences of the digit 2: after entering my own gate the product of these two totals was a two-figure number.
Had I stopped counting at the house opposite my own, then the product would have been smaller; in fact it would have been the reverse of the eventual product.
What is my house number?

Hello fellow junglepeople
I'm thinking about changing the category of one of my items – has anybody of you ever done that? Will it change the item ID? I'm asking because I'm worried that in case someone has already bookmarked the item they couldn't find it anymore.
I would like to know this too. I tried to change the category by going into the "edit" screen and typed a message to the reviewer, but that doesn't seem to work (no reply and the item is not listed in the "upload que" again). Maybe it's better to contact support? Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Try to edit something else with this message (add a keyword etc.) it has worked when I've changed the title with mistake.
I've successfully submitted a cat change in the past by going the route Martjin suggested.
In order for it to appear in the upload cue you have to change something else like tags, etc. as well.
Hope this helps.
Thanks guys!!
Thanks guys, but do you know if the item number will stay the same ? I would think so….

It could be three weeks before a New Zealand anti-whaling protester is allowed to speak to his lawyers.
Pete Bethune is being held in Japan after being arrested and charged with trespassing, when he arrived there on Friday.
He has been held for the past month on the Japanese whaling ship the Shonan Maru 2.
Sea Shepherd's Paul Watson says the Japanese are not letting Bethune see his legal team.
He says Japanese authorities are entitled to interrogate a prisoner without representation, for up to three weeks.
Bethune has however met with New Zealand Embassy staff in Tokyo since his arrival in Japan.
Foreign Minister Murray McCully says consular officials are providing updates on Bethune's situation to his wife as they become available.
"Embassy staff report he is well and continues to be in good spirits," McCully says.
Meanwhile, the leader of Australia's Green Party has announced on Saturday morning he is backing an international campaign to free Pete Bethune.
Bob Brown has warned the Japanese courts have nearly a 100% conviction rate, and he is not planning to let people forget about Bethune's plight.
Brown says there will be an international campaign to free Peter Bethune.

Brigitte Bardot Fights Planned Biopic: 'I'm Not Dead!'
In recent years, Bardot, who left her film career in 1973 to become an animal rights activist, has been most famous for her outspoken and polarizing statements on topics ranging from French immigration and race-mixing to homosexuality and Islam. She has been fined five times for "inciting racial hatred." It is unclear whether the proposed film would include this controversial period in her life.
Newman's 'Bardot' project signals a change of pace from the director's earlier work. His 2008 film 'Fanboys' -- the director met his wife, Jaime King, on set -- follows a group of 'Star Wars' fans on a mission to Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.'
Don't expect the biopic to continue without an escalated fight from Bardot, whose radio interview provided an endless series of sound bytes. "I have the courage of my convictions. I don't beat around the bush and I am about the only one who doesn't in this bloody country."

Sorry, this is actually BB, Brigitte Bardot, not long ago I was reading another article about her with pictures similar to this one, and it is her. At least she has the courage to be herself and not be addicted to plastic surgery. She always remains a true woman and is not afraid to look her age. A true beauty to the end.

BOSTON --- Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien had a message for reporters who continue to question the prowess of one Tomas Kaberle.
He's not the only one screwing up, so lay off the defenseman.
"I don't know why we decide that we should be taking him out of the lineup when there's other players too that have struggled," Julien told reporters before Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals at TD Garden on Monday. "We haven't talked about that. And that's because we have patience and we believe in those guys."
Kaberle lost the puck behind the net moments before Tampa Bay's Sean Bergenheim tied it midway through the second period of Game 4. Julien said that had as much to do as other players not supporting Kaberle on the play.
"So, according to our system, he's not the only one to blame," Julien said. "The last winning goal, he blocks a shot, makes a great play, and he's trying to get off the ice, and we turn the puck over. So do we keep blaming Kaberle?"
Probably for plays like the eventual winner in Game 1. Kaberle, with no Lightning play bearing down, fumbled the ball to the side of Bruins' net, where Lightning forward Teddy Purcell tapped it in.
"I think people are a little hard on this guy and I'm one of those guys that's going to support him," Julien continued. "I'm one of those guys that's going to keep him in the lineup in case you want to know. And he's going to be a good part of our hockey team."
The Bruins gave up plenty to get Kaberle, who spend his first 12 seasons in Toronto . Boston dealt prospect forward Joe Colborne and the Bruins' first-round pick at next month's draft. The Leafs will also receive a second-round pick at next year's draft if the Bruins make the finals.
Kaberle has no goas and six assists in the playoffs, three assists coming in this series. He's a mainstay on the power play that has scored twice in 15 chances entering Game 5. He's also even on the plus-minus.
Julien wouldn't confirm any lineup changes, but he did say 23 skaters --- presumably including defenseman Steven Kampfer, who is back from a knee injury --- would take part in the warm-up and the lineup would be cemented immediately afterward.

Julien: Kaberle not only Bruin struggling
Kaberle is also afraid to take a shot. He doesn't even look at the net when he has the puck. On the power it is easier to defend when you no one man won't be shooting, basically makes it a 4 on 4

Julien: Kaberle not only Bruin struggling
Its funny how claude julien said that Tyler Seguin wasnt on the playoff roster because he was still learning but i real reason was that it seemed that during the reg. Season he seemed to shy away from hits and sometimes was a liability defensely, I watched every bruins game all season and that statement was true alot of the time. But Seguin is an 18-year old rookie and he will be better, Tomas Kaberle seems scared to take a hit anytime the puck is near him and seems lost most of the time he has the puck but he has been playing for 12 seasons " WHAT IS HIS EXCUSE"???? This guy was a disaster ever since we traded for him, On the Power Play teams dont have to worry about him taking a shot so they back up and wait for the pass. Even when he has a clear alley to take a shot he still tries to pass it. Other bruins have made mistakes this series but not even close to as many as Kaberle has made, Julien is trying to be faitfull and stick up for his players like every coach does but this problem isnt going away and good coaches know when to make changes. Claude you really need some balls, if he blows this series its on julien. Cutting his minutes just aint doing it because now you have 5 other guys who has to play more minutes. I still believe the bruins are a better team if they just play there game but they cant do that if people have to protect kaberle the whole game.

Julien: Kaberle not only Bruin struggling
Kaberle is soft, whether it's checking, or being stripped of the puck. He doesn't have the intensity needed for playoff hockey (see: Ryan Kessler). If the Bruins lose Game 5, I don't see him being in the lineup for Game 6.

Classic Cambodia , March 2015
Kerryn Limpus
The Classic Cambodia tour was a very comfortable, enjoyable and educational way to travel in Cambodia for the first time. The flight to Siem Reap was a great alternative to a long bus trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and gave us more time to explore the temples once we arrived. A good hat, walking shoes, plenty of water and cool attire are needed for long hot days at the temples. They can't be explored in a hurry. Sunrise at Angkor Wat is really worth the early start.

Philip Miller
We would suggest people travel light and take the optional trips as you find so much more about the country, also eat out with the guide when given the option rather than finding you own restaurant.

The rupee strengthened by 32 paise to 51.05 per dollar on the Interbank Foreign Exchange market in early trade on Tuesday, supported by continued foreign fund inflows.
Dealers said consistent dollar inflows and euro's gains against the US currency overseas, mainly supported the rupee.
The rupee had gained 15 paise to close at nearly one-and-a-half month high of 51.37/38 against the dollar yesterday on the back of late recovery in equities and mild dollar selling.
Meanwhile, the 30-share BSE Sensex shot up by 198.14 points, or 1.22 per cent, to 16,387.50 in opening trade today.

Game on
This article was first published in Top Gear magazine in November 2005.
For several weeks now, I've been beavering away at my desk working on a project completely unrelated to Top Gear. I've been asked by the BBC to make a one-hour Christmas special about toys, and I have to admit that I'm enjoying myself immensely.
Toys are nostalgic, evocative and, above all, still great fun. Scalextric, for example, is really nothing more than an elaborate way of connecting the terminals of a 12-volt transformer to an electric motor. If sir had pointed out that this phenomenon was the basis of all domestic motor racing, the physics lab would have been a happier place.
Likewise the train set, which works in exactly the same way. I love a good train set, and a collection of Dinkies, a Mamod steam engine and a really big box of Meccano or Lego. These things are magical and offer an immediate and welcome respite from the tedium of adulthood.
The downside of all this, however, is that I'm reminded of some truly tedious toys that I'd rightly forgotten. Action Man, for example, who may have had realistic hair and gripping hands but always wore the same grim-faced expression even after his parachute had failed to open and he'd lost a limb among the rockery. Subbuteo – a stupid game played on a football pitch with a big crease running down the middle. And does anyone remember something called Tin Can Alley? It was an early electronic toy, featuring a Winchester rifle that fired a beam of light. When you pointed it at plastic 'tin' cans on a plastic wall, they fell off through some electromechanical trickery. It was rubbish. The gun had no effect on your brother or domestic animals, and it was attached to the wall by a long wire. So if you wanted to take it over the woods to play hunting you had to take the wall and the cans with you.
And then there was Etch A Sketch. I'd completely forgotten about Etch A Sketch, the drawing device with two knurled wheels and a grey screen. But then a neighbour lent me his old one, so I sat down with a glass of scotch and prepared to design a Volvo.
I know what you're thinking: Volvo's aren't like that any more. They're cool and curvaceous. And you'd be right; they've been that way ever since a bloke called Peter Horbury strode into the Volvo HQ in Gothenburg, slapped a set of French curves on the table and pronounced them the future of design. It was a bold move that paid off. Look at the V70 estate – full of subtle curves.
But I would still contend that the most important Volvo ever made, the definitive model locked in the minds of cartoonists, was the 244 of the Seventies. You don't remember the 244? It was the car that established Etch A Sketch as the automotive design tool of pre-digital Sweden. This is a joke Volvo is rather bored with, I suspect.
"You don't remember the 244? The car that established Etch A Sketch as THE automotive design tool of pre-digital Sweden"
Undeterred, however, I got down to work. Because it struck me that, of all Europe's car makers, Volvo is one of only a few that hasn't been openly raiding its design archive for inspiration. Everyone else is at it – they dig out a load of old blueprints, find a wheelarch shape, a grille or a headlight treatment that looked good, then slap it on the latest design.
And after a while I realised why Volvo designers aren't doing this. It's because they can't find the Etch A Sketch. They can't find it because it's in the loft. It was put in the loft because it's crap.
It all came back to me pretty quickly. If I remember rightly, the box lid showed the Etch's screen replete with a joyous Arcadian scene comprising a house, trees, grass, fluffy clouds and a bird flying through the sky. These days, they would be sued for it. You can't draw that with one of those. You can only draw a box.
So you might just manage the house after days of painstaking wheel-work. But then, as you tackled the first cloud, you would merely leave a hideous spidery scrawl across the screen. This is when you discovered a serious shortcoming of the system. You couldn't just rub out that bit. You had to turn the thing over, give it a shake and erase the lot. One wrong turn of a wheel was the equivalent of that over-confident hammer blow that had the Venus de Milo's arm off.
Another problem was that I never discovered any means of removing the pointer from the back of the screen. There was some rumour going around the teenage grapevine in 1970 that you could press on the back while turning the wheel, or something like that, and move the tool to a new position. But this never worked for me. If you wanted to be somewhere else on the screen, you had to draw your way there.
Every component of an Etch A Sketch sketch was thus joined to every other one, like the parts on the moulding sprue of an Airfix model. So even if you did draw a bird flying in the sky, it would be attached to the ground by a long pole.
Later that night I took one to bed with me and continued my tireless work. Eventually, of course, I nodded off. At about five in the morning I awoke, the bedside light still blazing, the radio still blaring, and the forgotten plaything face-down on the duvet. I lifted it up to survey the night's work, and through bleary eyes noticed that I'd drawn a load of boxes.
Any artist will tell you that there are no straight lines in nature. There aren't many in car design either, to be honest. Meanwhile, there are no curves on Etch A Sketch. This is the crux of the issue. You can only draw a series of boxes which, curiously, was what the Volvo 244 amounted to.
I said that the Volvo 244 established Etch A Sketch as a design tool, but actually I got that wrong. The Volvo 244 was the only artefact on the planet that justified the existence of the otherwise useless toy; the only thing that could be rendered convincingly on its screen.
Whatever you tried to draw, you got a Volvo 244 anyway. And even then it didn't have any wheels.

Hitting a Hy note.
HYADES is likely to be brimming with confidence following his maiden victory at Yarmouth and can take the next step up the ladder by landing the East Anglian Air Ambulance Handicap (3.30) at Newmarket.
The Aldebaran colt's sole start at two yielded a closeup second to the more experienced Mustaqer at Headquarters, and he arrived at Newbury last month with a fair reputation.
Although sent off favourite that day, he was easy in the market and ultimately found the rain-softened ground totally against him, trailing home eight lengths adrift of stablemate Sight Unseen in fifth.
The outing clearly did him the power of good, however, and there was plenty to like about the way he bounced back with a commanding success last time.
His initial rating of 88 presents no easy task, but the forecast good to firm ground will suit.
He looks a nice type with a really bright future.
Jimmy Styles appeared a touch unfortunate to bump into the well-handicapped Striking Spirit at Ascot recently and can reverse the form in the Victor Chandler Handicap (4.05).
Clive Cox's charge made a winning start to his 2008 campaign and although restricted to just one subsequent outing last year, he was the subject of good support on his reappearance this month. The son of Inchinor finished a length adrift of Striking Spirit, but is 4lb better off this time..
