I can't speak for Luton but it probably has better rail access to
London and the fact that it's not in East Anglia working in its
favour.

Luton's main disadvantage is the need to get on a bus between the
airport
and the station.

The station isn't any further from the check-in than many long term
car parks. The scandal is they have the nerve to charge for the bus
(although airport workers are carried free).

I'll take your word on that, having never in my life ever used an airport
long-term car park. All airports should have good public transport
access.
It's a blot on Luton that its is so poor.

It's not that poor.

There are plenty of airports with worse. Bristol, Leeds/Bradford,
Liverpool, Glasgow, just to name a few in the UK.

The bus (and the charge) is an annoyance, but it hardy pushes the PT
score down to 2/10.

Aren't there plans to build a monorail between the station and the
monorail? Considering the history of monorails in regular revenue
service, however ...
