EasyJet offers private jet experience at Luton – without the private jet

EasyJet passengers can now travel like billionaires – at least to as far as the steps of the plane – following the launch of a new venture to allow the airline’s customers to use the private jet terminal and facilities at Luton airport. Passengers can pay GBP475 to be checked in and clear security while relaxing in a luxury lounge, before being driven across the airfield to the plane in a private car and returning to bleak reality on-board. The partnership will allow passengers travelling from the headquarters of the airline to use Luton’s new Signature terminal, opened in Dec 2016. Whether passengers who may have booked flights for as little as GBP9.49 will think GBP475 is a price worth paying to effectively bypass Luton airport remains to be seen. <br/>
