[Luton Airport]
It's not very accessible by public transport from Cambridge (or Ely)
though, is it?

No it isn't. So my focus for any future trips would change to Stansted/
Gatwick rather than Luton/Gatwick. I was only using Luton when East
Midlands didn't have a suitable flight and because it was on the M1/MML
corridor.

If you're getting a GN train to King's Cross, then I'd think Gatwick
and Luton airports are more or less much of a muchness in terms of
onward travel - though no shuttle bus at Gatwick of course.

Somehow, the trip to Luton via London feels "wrong". Although there's a
bus from Hitchin to the airport if the time of day is right.

The question of course is how many destinations does Luton offer that
Stansted doesn't. Gatwick generally opens up a whole new set of
possibilities.
