I have a 07:15 flight on Sunday Oct 28th departing from London Luton Airport. Owing to limited options on public transport, I will be arriving at the airport at ~00:30. Is there any chance I will be able to go through security earlier than the usual 3h and wait for my flight in duty free?
Edit: I have no checked bags - only carry-on. It is an international flight to a destination outside of the EU.

@AnnaSchumann I’ve been allowed to clear security early to accompany my partner whose flight was leaving a couple of hours before mine, after asking the Officer very nicely for permission. I suspect you may need a better reason than ‘I had to arrive very early due to public transport’ but you may be lucky - no harm asking!

@AnnaSchumann This does not directly answers your question - I just wanted to check if none of the coaches are good options for you to get to Luton Airport. This is a great question on its own.

I was finally able to get into contact with London Luton Airport, who stated that i'd be able to pass through security ~5h before departure - which is the point at which the airline activates the flight.
