This is the only UK Airport I fly from that charges to drop off, it has the most appalling road surface, you take your life in your hands walking from short stay to the terminal and then have to be forced to walk through a foul haze of cigarette smoke before you can access the terminal. I travel frequently and only use Luton as a last resort as once you have experienced the above, there is not enough room Airside to sit anywhere comfortably and then if you are really unlucky, you have to fly with Ryanair, none of which can be described as a joyous experience.
