Success story? Maybe they should finally follow EU-regulations and show the taxes and fees in the flight prices and to refund them in the case of cancellations? Their compensation-policy even not mentioned… Why they have no official offices outside Hungary? Because state aviation “authority” in Hungary and the hungarian legal system protects their shabby business behavior (in russia or at Mafia such a system is called “krishe”) and in any other country they are loosing such cases…Its more a shame than a star for Hungary!
