One of London's many airports, Luton caters mostly to the spotters who are looking for "monster biz frames" as this airport attracts business jets from all over the world on a daily basis. It still is a commercial airport but you are relegated to discount carriers EasyJet, Wizzair, and Ryanair. Monarch and Thompson have a maintenance facility here so you never know what types will be in for them. Again, as with most airports in the U.K. this airport's spotting locations are well known and can be located on the internet with ease: http://www.spotterswiki.com/index.php?title=London_Luton_Airport
The day I showed up, they were operating off runway 08 which made for some great shots taken from the crash gate on the south side of the airport. Due to the close proximity to the runway you can expect to get even the smallest mustang-like jet with a lens no bigger than a 300mm, with most subjects being a short 125mm-200mm away.
