to check luggage.

Currently, people largely haven't realised that you can now check in
online and check in luggage on easyJet, and so the "bag drop" queue is
always short. But, once they do, Speedy Boarding offers you a
dedicated check-in desk that pretty much allows you to arrive at Luton
at the same time you would with hand luggage only and still check a
bag in. Another hour in bed when going for an 0625 is *definitely*
worth 8 quid (or whatever it costs now).

LTN has its faults, but it's definitely a better experience than
Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (though the latter is the lesser of the
3 evils). The only thing that tends to cause big delays is passport
control, and the auto gates are likely to help that somewhat once they
are in reliable operation.
