I used to drive to Luton (where the parking in the mid-stay just
outside the tunnel[1], from where you can walk to the terminal) wasn't
too bad. Like you, the times of the flights ruled out using public
transport.


They like to ban you from walking from there now (the pavement on the
far side of the road is fenced off for its full length now) but I think
(fewer) people still do.

FWIW, the long term also isn't bad (it is my first choice), it's just
round the back, and its big advantage is that you can reach it from the
approach road by going the back way without queueing at the approach
road roundabout (the shuttle bus is quite good at pushing in). Though
the queues aren't half as bad as they were when they had that stupid
set of traffic lights in.
