New coach service to luton airport

[westcoaster]

While arriving into luton town today i noticed a dark red coach parked up by luton town station labbled the luton flyer.
Looks like a new twice daily service to bracknell via slough. An odd choice of service but they must see some demand it.

Not much info an looks like you need to pre book.

They have at least thought about when most flights arrive/depart and provided an early arrival and reasonably late departure (though possibly not quite late enough), unlike say the Stagey 99 which barely anyone uses to/from the airport[1] because it starts too late and finishes too early.

They do need proper online booking, though. By not offering it they are literally throwing away custom.

Though from Slough I'd just fly from Heathrow.

[1] It's mostly a shopper's service, with heavy use on certain journeys between the stops by the Kingston Centre and the first stop off the M1 at Luton at warehouse tipping out times. Ironically those two stops were only put in so it could be registered to claim BSOG and are by far the busiest! Barely anyone ever uses Luton Town to the Airport, to the point they could withdraw that bit and barely annoy anyone by doing so.

Aimed at people looking for cheap flights, which are in short supply at Heathrow?

True. I suppose Gatwick has slightly more choice, though.
