transfer from Arran house hotel to Luton airport
 
I am a solo female traveler this September and will be going from London to Lisbon on an early morning(7am) flight from London staying at the Arran house hotel to Luton airport with Easyjet. Which is a better & more reliable option of transfer, using Justairports.com which is quoting me a 42 pounds or with the hotel at a fixed price of 50 pounds? My concern is that I have been reading unpleasant reviews with Justairports. Please advise. Thanks

Nothing helpful to offer, but I miss the Arran House and their friendly staff. My daughters' all time favorite complimentary hotel breakfast.

Save yourself some (no LOTS of) money and take a taxi to St Pancras, then a train to Luton Airport Parkway,then it's £1 on the shuttle to the airport proper

Assuming a weekday you'd have to get the 4:22am train arriving 5:05am as the service is hourly

Cost of the train - £10.90

At worst (and it would really be worst) that's £20

It's a minor difference, but I found a fare of £9.90 for London-Luton Airport Parkway.

Thanks for your suggestions. Does the London-Luton Parkway run that early on a Sunday morning? I am flying to Lisbon on Sept 21st, Sunday.

I just checked the train schedule thru their website, the earliest train is at about 6am so that won't work for me. Any other suggestions on a cab or shuttle?

Stokebailey,

Yes, I love the Arran House. My family stayed there last March and we loved their breakfast,too. There is a very good & inexpensive Indian take-out not far from the British Museum that we really enjoy. I will always come back to this area if I could.

Since the first train on Sunday doesn't run early enough, here's another suggestion. Take a taxi to either Marble Arch or Baker Street and an easyBus from there. The service runs 24/7. See www.easybus.co.uk.
