For three in five Brits, the journey to the airport can be a major source of stress ahead of their trip. Unexpected travel delays (48%) and carrying heavy luggage (26%), are among the main causes of stress, according to new research from London Luton Airport (LLA).
One in four (25%) even questioned booking a holiday when they thought about how much luggage they would need. To demonstrate the new connection between Central London and LLA via the Luton Airport Express, the airport teamed up with American Football team, London Blitz, to help make journeys on the new service even easier, whilst giving the players an additional opportunity to stay fit.
On June 10 the airport will offer a complimentary luggage-carrying service for passengers boarding the new Luton Airport Express train from London St. Pancras.
Clare Armstrong, Head of Guest Experience at London Luton Airport said, "We know that carrying heavy suitcases and bags can make the beginning of a holiday feel like hard work. And our research shows that luggage is one of the main causes of contention for travellers before embarking on their next adventure. That's why we’ve teamed up with London Blitz to literally take the weight off holidaymakers’ shoulders this weekend. Our passengers will be able to start their holiday as soon as they board the new Luton Airport Express at London St Pancras. The service provides passengers with a simple, friendly and stress-free journey from the capital to London Luton Airport, leaving them with more time and energy to really savour the start of their holiday.”
