Flying from London Luton
Luton is Wizz Air and easyJet country, with secondary routes from Ryanair and TUI. The airport sits 32 miles north of central London with a direct Thameslink train via Luton Airport Parkway — there's now a DART shuttle bridging the station to the terminal. Fare structures lean budget; if you're after Eastern European, Greek island or Spanish-coast routes, Luton often beats the bigger London airports on price.
Arriving in Crete
Heraklion Airport is 4 km east of central Heraklion, the largest city in Crete. Bus 1 runs every 15 minutes to the city centre. The May–October leisure schedule is intense; winter capacity drops sharply but doesn't disappear. Crete's size means you can fly into Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ) — match the airport to your accommodation cluster to save the 2-hour cross-island drive.
