1. Upon getting out of the aircraft, follow the sign pointing to Arrivals

2. International Arrivals go through Passport Control. (Arrivals from United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Ireland go straight to Baggage Reclaim.) Passport Control comprises two sections, one for nationals of EU and Britain, another for all other nationals. You will be expected to show a valid passport which will not expire during your stay in the United Kingdom. Please be aware that some times, it may take a while to go through Passport Controls when the queues are long.

3. Once out of Passport Control, follow the sign to Baggage Reclaim. Look for the right carousel by your Flight Number on the Information Screens. Your airline is responsible for your luggage until you pick it up. If it is damaged or missing, contact your airline representative.

4. Having collected your baggage, go through Customs Clearance.

5. You exit Customs into Luton's Arrival Concourse. A variety of transport options are available for you to leave the airport.
