READY TO BE REUNI-TED?

While Christmas is often the most joyous time of the year for many families, travelling with young children can often prove stressful.

London Luton Airport (LLA) is set for its busiest Christmas since 2019, with up to 1 million passengers expected this December - a 170% increase on last year’s figures. 

New research from LLA reveals almost half (45%) of parents of children aged 1 – 9 years old, rely on treasured toys and comforters to keep the kids happy while travelling. However, of those respondents, 49% say their child has lost their beloved toy while enroute. 

To help families travelling with children this Christmas, our latest work with London Luton Airport saw us launch the ‘Teddy tags’ scheme, so that any toy left behind can quickly be reuni-TED with their owner. The tags will allow parents to include the teddy’s full name, flight number and contact details, and are free to collect throughout the airport.  

London Luton Airport has also created a toy reunion page on its website (https://www.london-luton.co.uk/reunite-ted) with images of unclaimed teddies and toys alongside information of where they were found and how passengers can arrange to have them sent home.
