Gatwick Visitors Greeted with “Welcome to Luton” Sign – Airport Prank Sparks Confusion

Arriving at London Gatwick Airport? You might be baffled by a cheeky message flashing on your left: “Welcome to Luton”.

This tongue-in-cheek sign references London Luton Airport, which sits north-west of London, while Gatwick is way down south. The mix-up has left travellers scratching their heads and locals chuckling.

Not the First Time – A Classic Airport Prank

This stunt is reminiscent of the infamous “Welcome to Perth” rooftop paint job spotted in Sydney’s suburb of Sydenham. Just like that prank, it’s crafted to confuse and amuse airport-goers arriving at their destination.

Whether it’s a prankster’s idea of fun or a bold marketing gag, one thing’s for sure – travellers won’t forget their welcome to Gatwick anytime soon!
