№ 03: The route home
Luton → Bedford, in plain terms.
28 mi via A600 → A5141 → A6 → A421 → M1 → A507. Around 37 min in light traffic. At peak times allow an extra 8 min (mornings typically ~45 min, evenings ~43 min). Your driver builds this into the agreed pickup so you still arrive on time.
Luton → MK is the cleanest of the five. Straight up the A5/A505, no motorway, no London routing. Around 35 minutes door-to-door in normal traffic and rarely worse than 50 minutes even in peak. Luton's £7 set-down charge is included. This is the only airport from MK we'd typically beat the train on for solo travellers.

№ 05: Coach & train
How public transport compares.
For comparison, here's the coach or rail alternative from Bedford to Luton, and why most travellers still choose a door-to-door car.
Genuinely direct to Luton Airport Parkway in ~20 min, but it stops at the Parkway, not the airport. You finish on the Luton DART shuttle (a separate £4.90 single unless you buy a through 'Luton Airport' ticket), carrying luggage across two changes of vehicle with no door-to-door drop-off

Plan around local demand.
Local events fill roads and hotels and push up airport-travel demand. Worth booking ahead around these Bedford dates.
