Getting to Luton is like assembling flat-pack furniture. It’s a bit fiddly, has one confusing step (the shuttle bus), and requires a small tool (a good sense of humour). But once it’s done, you stand back and say, “That wasn’t so bad.”
Just remember: check your train platform beforehand, wear comfortable shoes, and never, ever trust the “20 minute” sign on the coach timetable. Do that, and you’ll breeze through like a seasoned pro. Now, go get that cheap Ryanair flight to Malta. You earned it.
