City Breaks from Luton Airport
Luton Airport is dominated by low cost carriers so if you are looking for a short city break from LTN we suggest you try destinations from either Ryanair, easyJet or Wizz Air first. Predominantly an airport focused on leisure routes, you won’t have the same regular business type flights from say Heathrow, but there are a plethora of European destinations to take a short or weekend break, especially in summer months.
Luton to Amsterdam
If you are looking for a short and simple short break then consider Amsterdam. With year-round flights with easyJet it is possible to have a weekend jaunt without having to take time off. The earlies flights depart just after 6am and return can be late the next day. Although the obvious choice is to head directly into the centre of Amsterdam, do consider Rotterdam or The Hague as alternative weekend break destinations from Luton.

Luton to Edinburgh
For a weekend break within the United Kingdom, a trip to Edinburgh from Luton is also very possible without taking any time off. easyJet offers early morning departures and returns the next night. Taking the tram from the airport is straightforward and you can be in the centre of the Scottish capital in just over 30 mins
Luton to Malaga
Again, another year round destination allowing you the opportunity for a short break in the sun. Whether it is capturing some winter sunshine or enjoying the Costa Del Sol at the height of the summer, flights with easyJet and also Ryanair make Malaga very accessible for a short break.
Luton to Alicante
Another Costa that is accessible year round for short break from Luton is the Costa Blanca. Whether you are looking to visit Benidorm or one of the nearer beach resorts to the airport such as Playas de Guardamar, you can fly year round with daily connections from Luton with time to allow you to maximise your time in resort.
Luton to Scotland
As well as Edinburgh, easyJet has a multitude of flights to Scottish airports making it very simple to have a short break from Luton to Glasgow, Aberdeen or Inverness. All have good flight times for a weekend break.
Luton to Paris
A short break in the French capital is simple with easyJet flights arriving from Luton into Charles de Gaulle. If you book early you can get fares cheaper than the train although do consider both the full cost of paying for your seat and luggage. And there is the environmental impact. Thameslink trains travel from Luton to St Pancras where you can join the Eurostar and get to the heart of the city.

Luton to Istanbul
An extreme weekend break but again very possible is a short break to Istanbul with Wizz Air. Flights depart on Friday so you will have to take a day off but the different time zones ensure you can maximise your last day in Istanbul and get back late at night into Luton.
