Default Luton Airport

I'm flying Luton Airport this Saturday. What's the best way to travel
there from east London? My local stations are West Ham, Plaistow and
Canning Town.

Thanks in advance.


Hamm and ****ty then change at Farringdon for the Thameslink! Or more
reliable district line and change at blackfriars?

They haven't started the blockade of thameslink yet have they?

PS Luton airport has its own (parkway) station with free shuttle buses
to the airport. If you want to spend a bit more money than thameslink,
midland mainline will get you there in about 10mins less!!

Yes, but Thameslink is much more frequent. And the change between H&C to
Thameslink at Farringdon is quicker and easier with bags than the change
between H&C to MML at St Pancras.

I don't understand this remark: as far as I know all tickets from London
to Luton Airport Parkway are valid equally on MML or Thameslink,
including those with Network Card discounts. No need to pay more (and
with MML you can sometimes even avail yourself of a free tea/coffee).
