Excel Centre to Luton Airport vs public transport

Public transport from Excel Centre requires the DLR Custom House station to Canning Town, then Jubilee line to Finchley Road. From there you need the National Express coach or train to Luton Airport Parkway plus shuttle bus.

Total public transport journey time exceeds 90 minutes with at least 3 connections. Carrying luggage on the DLR during exhibition periods becomes particularly challenging. Early morning services before 6am run less frequently, creating timing issues for morning flights.
