Default Another one bites the dust

Huh? Luton is hardly any further out than Gatwick, and Newark is the
nearest trans-Atlantic airport to Manhattan.


A lot of people are put off Luton by the bus connection, sufficiently
so that LBC are looking at building some kind of rail shuttle thing.
Which is actually counterintuitive, as to some gates at Gatwick you
walk almost as far as the bus goes (well, probably not quite, but it
feels like it), there's the inter-terminal train, and at Luton bags are
returned far, far quicker than any other significantly sized airport
(the reason for which is the simplicity of the baggage system - it just
involves two blokes and a flatbed Transit).
