    Ground: LTNLHR (~1h 45m, ~$40–$120). Luton to Heathrow is not Heathrow Express. Typical options: National Express coach, taxi, or rideshare. Build in at least 3 hours before the long-haul departure.

    Separate tickets: if you miss the long-haul, you rebuy. No airline protection across the airport change.

BoardClear Routes is planning guidance, not a booking engine. Schedules and fares change; always confirm on the airline or OTA before you pay. Self-transfers require you to clear immigration/security and reclaim bags when tickets are separate.
