Over 140,000 guests are expected to travel through London Luton Airport (LLA) over the Mother’s Day weekend, with many swapping flowers for flights. LLA’s 2025 travel trend predictions highlight the rise of ‘Don’t Look Back – Wander’, a trend focused on reconnecting with family through meaningful adventures. Over half (55%) of travellers will prioritise trips with loved ones over solo getaways, and 80% of holidaymakers believe travel is a great way to celebrate special occasions. Whether it’s a road trip to explore cultural roots (70%) or a special occasion getaway (80%), travel is becoming the ultimate way to reconnect.

Details on London Luton Airport’s Mother’s Day celebration  

From relaxing retreats on the sunny shores of Nice to cultural escapes in Prague and weekend adventures exploring the Venetian canals, LLA’s wide range of destinations is perfect for celebrating with mums, stepmums, and other motherly figures. Clare Armstrong, Head of Guest Experience at London Luton Airport, says: “Mother’s Day is all about showing appreciation and making cherished memories, and at London Luton Airport, we’re excited to welcome guests who are travelling to celebrate the women in their lives. There’s a growing trend of meaningful travel, and the simple and friendly guest experience we offer at London Luton Airport is the perfect send-off to make family trips even more special. Our excellent selection of airside shops and restaurants are perfect for pre-flight pick-me-ups and for grabbing deals for last-minute gifts, and whether passengers are heading off on a cultural escape or a relaxing break, we’re here to ensure a stress-free start to every journey this Mother’s Day.”

For an extra special start to Mother’s Day travels, guests can take advantage of the recently extended hours of LLA’s Prebook Security service, which allows passengers to skip security queues by reserving a 30-minute slot ahead of their arrival at the airport, fast-tracking them into pre-flight relaxation. Open between 3am and 3pm, seven days a week, the service can be booked up to four days before departure, closing 60 minutes before arrival at security.
