Lots of Hungarians stuck in Dubai due to delayed Wizz Air flight

A reader of Utazómajom, Magdolna, shared the horror delay of a Wizz Air plane. She said they had been waiting at the airport for 15 hours.

The original departure time to Budapest was 9.20 PM on 10 July, but soon after the check-in started, the display wrote that the aircraft would only leave the airport the next day. The gate was closed, and the airport crew sent away the people, Utazómajom wrote.

At 10-11 PM, the airline’s local partner housed the passengers in different accommodations. They got dinner and breakfast and were brought back to the airport the next morning. The new check-in time was 9 AM, but nothing happened until 11 AM. Finally, the departure time was modified to 2.30 PM.

Wizz Air passengers got lunch, but their flight was cancelled

They received a McChicken menu from McDonald’s for lunch, but the departure time disappeared from the display while they were consuming their fast food. Unfortunately, nobody at the airport could provide them with additional information.

“We are waiting for a miracle”, the Utazómajom reader said. Interestingly, the flight from Budapest landed 40 minutes later than it was due yesterday. The reason why the plane could not return to the Hungarian capital remains a mistery.

At least the passengers received accommodation, food and drinks during their wait, which is good news considering similar stories we wrote about in the previous weeks.
