Wizz Air rewrote summer timetable: European riviera flights called off, modified

A Hungarian media outlet wrote that the Hungarian budget airline, Wizz Air, rewrote its summer timetable, so multiple flights will not operate or their frequencies change. The company will inform its passengers about the changes in the next few days.

According to okosutas.hu, such decisions are not unique to the Hungarian low-cost airline. Wizz Air rewrote its January-March timetable last December, causing inconvenience for many of its passengers. That is because they introduced night or early morning flights in several directions. We wrote about that decision in THIS article in detail.

Now, they did the same concerning the first part of their summer timetable. That means even though passengers bought their ticket in advance for a e.g. June flight, it might happen the plane will not depart at 8 AM but at 8 PM. That may cause headaches for some.

Okotustas’s (‘Smart Passenger’ in English) advice is not to book a non-refundable accommodation on popular Wizz directions since timetable modifications frequently happen on those.

Cyprus, Türkiye, and Bulgaria were affected among others

The Hungarian news outlet mentioned some of the most outstanding modifications. In the original timetable, Cyprus was present with daily flights. However, Wizz cuts that back to three flights per week from end-March.

Meanwhile, Wizz will fly to Basel (Switzerland) more frequently: there will be flights twice a day on some days. However, on Monday, two flights will depart after one another, which Okosutas regards as strange.

The budget airline will not fly to Antalya or Burgas in the pre-season. That means you will only be able to travel there from mid-June despite the company selling tickets for the last few months on them.

Of course, ticket prices will be refunded, or the tickets can be rebooked. However, the latter works for only one month in advance concerning the Bulgarian and the Turkish seashore. Therefore, March travellers will not be able to rebook their flight since in April or in May, no Wizz-flights will commute there. The system does not allow the modification to Istanbul.

All in all, provided you have a Wizz ticket between March and June, you should check out your email address in the following days.
