180 Wizz Air passengers stranded in Rome
Change language:
Around 180 passengers were stranded at the Fiumicino Airport in Rome whose plane was due to take off at 10.20 pm on Tuesday. At first, the passengers received notifications about the possible delay but then the departure time was pushed further and further back. However, no updated notifications were sent to the passengers.
Stuck passangers
One of the passengers shared the following lines with Blikk regarding his own experience:
“Think about it, they must have been aware of all this last night, but they didn’t say a word to us about staying in the hotel. They let all the passengers return to the airport and then sleep on the benches. All they suggested is that we find an inexpensive hotel and then ask for an invoice.”
-he complained.
The passenger told the news site that he and his family had arrived at the airport Tuesday afternoon, hoping for a small delay. However, Wizz Air gave no information for hours on the delayed departure time. The company never officially canceled the flight but only rescheduled it to 1 pm the following day. According to experts, this way the airline has to face fewer legal consequences.
I have said it before and I say it again: Wizz Air is the pits and their customer service is disgraceful almost to the point of non existence. Other budget airlines such as Easy Jet or Ryanair are much, much better. I would rather walk than use Wizz Air!
