London Luton: Hungarian passengers stuck at the airport, stopped from flying
Change language:
About 30 Hungarians were stopped from getting on the plane to Bratislava from London Luton on Monday. It is not precisely known why.
Due to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus variant in England, Hungary does not allow planes from the UK to enter since 22 December 2020 until 8 February 2020. The Hungarian citizens, therefore, were about to fly to Bratislava and then to travel to Hungary. Apparently, they did not find any information against doing so, Telex reports.
The Hungarian citizens have already been through the security check. Some had their luggage checked in too, but when they themselves were trying to check in, they found out that with a Hungarian passport, they are not allowed to enter Slovakia – not even if they had a PCR test done in not earlier than 72 hours.
The majority of them were from Hungary, but two other non-Slovakian people were stopped as well. The police in the meantime also arrived at the airport, but still, only those were allowed on the plane who were travelling home directly. The earlier checked-in luggage was taken down, and then the plane took off with an hour delay.
One of the Hungarian citizens said they let them know about this only half an hour before the plane was supposed to take off.
Again Wizzair which caused this. Same happened to us back in summer 2020. There was no legal reason yet Wizzair denied boarding and didn’t even offer compensation for this. This airline is either incompetent or criminal or both!
@John – Wizzair is the absolutely worst airline in Europe. I have refused to use them for some time.
