Isn't there an Asda close by? You could park in there and get a taxi. Suppose Asda will have this covered though, bet you can't park for more than 4 hours

Looks like i might have to leave it secure then,the place i parked at years ago was a nice looking estate with houses set back and grass verges and i parked just uphill of someones drive so i could'nt get boxed in and we had no probs.

Cheers Guys

Pay to park and know it's safe!

Luton's not nice and the areas around the airport are near an airport for a reason.

Bit of a trek from the local estates to the airport anyway. Or, park in Hitchin (100000x nicer than Luton and your car won't get touched) and get a bus to the airport - 20 mins and a couple of quid.
