If you're departing from Luton Airport read through this helpful guide on departure check lists, luggage check lists and important unofficial information on your passport and hand luggage. |

|
Don't forget your passport ... |
|
|
|
|
Very importantly check that your passport is valid. Many passengers arrive at Luton Airport and theirs is not and they are refused travel. Do this well in advance of travel just in case yours is one of those that's out of date! Also make sure that if you are travelling with any children that their passports are in date too - children's passports are issued for just 5 years, not 10 like an adult's.
You also need to check that the passport is in good order - so no bite marks from the dog for instance! - and that the photo actually resembles you. These are both other reasons passengers can be refused travel.
