Choosing the right option gives you peace of mind. TappAXI specialises in Luton to Stansted Airport taxi services, offering smooth, direct, and stress-free journeys between these important airports.

Luton Airport (LTN)

London Luton Airport is situated approximately 34 miles north of central London. It is one of the UK’s busiest hubs for European and domestic flights, particularly known for its budget airlines. Despite being compact, Luton offers useful facilities including lounges, duty-free shopping, and family services, making it a popular choice for travellers heading to short-haul destinations. 

Luton has a single terminal that is easy to navigate and well-equipped with shops, lounges, and restaurants. For travellers needing to connect to Stansted, a direct airport taxi is the simplest and most reliable choice. With TappAXI, your driver will meet you at Arrivals, assist with your luggage, and take you straight to Stansted on time and in comfort.

Stansted Airport (STN)

London Stansted is another major hub, handling over 25 million passengers per year. Located about 42 miles northeast of Central London, it is the UK’s primary base for European city breaks and holiday routes, especially for airlines like Ryanair.

Stansted has one main terminal, with excellent facilities including duty-free shopping, lounges, and restaurants. However, transport links between Luton and Stansted are limited. That’s why a private Luton to Stansted airport taxi transfer is the most efficient and convenient way to travel between these two airports.

Comparing Transfer Options (Taxi vs Coach vs Train)

Whenever you’re travelling from London Luton Airport to Stansted Airport, you have three main options: a private taxi, a National Express coach, or a train with London connections. Let’s compare in detail.

Private Taxi 

A private taxi from Luton to Stansted Airport is the fastest and most direct option. It usually takes around 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes, depending on traffic. Your driver collects you directly from the Luton terminal and drops you at the Stansted terminal entrance. TappAXI provides airport-to-airport taxi service, which is ideal for tight schedules, flight connections, families with children, or travellers with heavy luggage. The fare is charged per vehicle, making it cost-effective when travelling in groups or booking a larger vehicle.

Coach (National Express)

The National Express coach is the only direct public transport link between Luton and Stansted. The trip takes around 70 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic. Tickets start from £15–£25 per person. Coaches are the cheapest choice, but run on fixed timetables, so you’ll need to plan around departure times. Moreover, Passengers also need to handle their own luggage.

Train

There is no direct train service between Luton and Stansted. Travelling by rail requires going into Central London. The typical route involves taking the Thameslink from Luton Airport Parkway to London St Pancras, transferring to the Underground or Overground. Then use the Stansted Express from Liverpool Street or Tottenham Hale. The total journey usually takes around 2 hours and costs £30–£45 per person. By using the train, you need at least two changes and carry luggage across busy stations.

Overall, public transport works for budget-conscious travellers, but for those who value time, comfort, and a straightforward transfer, STN to Luton Airport taxi is the most dependable option.

STN - LTN Route & Travel Details

The distance between Stansted Airport and Luton Airport is approximately 55 miles (88 kilometres) by road, with the main routes being via the M11 motorway and A505 or the M25 orbital motorway. A taxi ride usually takes around 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes in normal traffic, making a private taxi one of the fastest and most direct ways to connect these two airports.

In lighter traffic (such as early mornings or late evenings), the trip can be as quick as just over an hour. However, during peak times, especially rush hours on the M25 or A505, the journey may take closer to 90 minutes or slightly longer. 

Our drivers are highly experienced on this route and keep track of real-time traffic updates.
