Route
Clean M1 southbound run — Loughborough to LTN is one of the easiest motorway airport transfers we do. Mostly motorway, predictable timings outside Luton J9–J10 morning peak.
Loughborough → A6004 → M1 J23 → M1 southbound through Leicester, Northampton, Milton Keynes → M1 J10 → A1081 → Luton Airport. Approximately 70 miles, typically 1h15m–1h30m off-peak.
If M1 is closed between J16 and J11, driver may take A509/A5 → A1 → A507 → A6 → Luton. Slightly longer (~80 mi) but reliable when the M1 has incidents. Driver makes the call live.

The hidden cost of self-drive: LTN long-stay parking runs –+ for a 7–14 day trip. Plus you start your holiday with a 75 min drive and end it with another. The saloon (or MPV split between 4 pax = each) makes more sense once parking is included.
