London Luton Airport only does flights to Europe. You'd probably have to go to Heathrow. From there take the Underground to St Pancras (this is direct - no changes), and a train to Luton from there. Or you might get a flight to Gatwick, from where you get a train to Victoria, the Underground to St Pancras (again this is direct on the Victoria line) and a train to Luton. The way to research this is to look up the Washington DC airport web site, see from the timetables what airlines go to London, then use the web sites for those airlines to see what you can get. Go through the booking process then stop when you get quoted prices. The pricing model means it's usually cheapest to book 2 months before you go. Or try expedia, but always look on the airline's on web site once you find the best deal to see if they are selling the same flights cheaper. I've found that's true sometimes. Experiment. Fares can vary a lot between different days in the week and different times of day. The cheapest will always be the overnight "red-eye" - mind you, most east-west transatlantic flights go overnight. It ensures one-way traffic across the ocean and therefore safety - coming back they go during the day. Budget airlines don't do long flights like this - it will be about 8 hours. So it will have to be a full-service airline and you will get served 2 meals on the way - on an overnight flight, dinner and breakfast.

You can fly to Heathrow,Gatwick or Stansted airports. Gatwick is easiest as there is a direct frequent rail service from Gatwick to Luton. From Stansted you would need to take a bus to Luton or travel by train via London. From Heathrow you take the Underground (Subway) to Kings Cross St Pancras and then a train from St Pancras to Luton www.nationalrail.co.uk Cheap flights are really a thing of the past unless you are travelling during a very off peak period. Rising fuel prices and the losses sustained by major airlines have forced prices up. Consult a good local travel agent or go to the websites of the major transatlantic airlines like BA, American and United
