Wizz axe BHX-LCA, IAS & VNO
LCA never started and RYR now do VNO, so could be worse !

And it isn't just BHX, there is a routes cull across the whole network.

Things don't sound good at Wizzair 😢

Not bad enough to stop Wizz increasing their presence at Gatwick next Spring though!. 5 aircraft base to operate.

WizzAir will be fine!

Wroclaw disappeared at the same time as the other three but thankfully is now back on sale, albeit not until July.

From April 2022 Wizz are adding an extra A320 to its Craiova base. Birmingham gets an increase from 2 to 3 weekly flights from Craiova.

Winter now on sale, pretty much the same as summer but with Craiova going back to 2x weekly.

As it stands

BUD 2x weekly
KRK 2x weekly
WAW 2x weekly
WRO 2x weekly
OTP 4x weekly
CLJ 2x weekly
CRA 2x weekly

There have been some extra flights added to Bucharest with it going 6x weekly throughout October.

I see Wizz have acted swiftly to move their Doncaster Sheffield ops to Leeds Bradford from November, following the closure of DSA at the end of October.

At present, Wizz will offer 20x weekly flights to 7x destinations from LBA in Summer'23

Wizz will offer only 18x weekly flight to 7x destinations from BHX in Summer'23

BHX-BUD = 2x weekly
BHX-KRK = 2x weekly
BHX-WAW = 2x weekly
BHX-WRO = 3x weekly
BHX-OTP = 4x weekly
BHX-CLJ = 2x weekly
BHX-CRA = 3x weekly

 

[Ray Finkle]

Bucharest going up to 5x weekly for summer.

Interesting.

I can't see the point of flying to DXB via an intermediary point (BUD) with a lengthy stop over. Why not fly direct? I would imagine that if you can't afford EK prices, you can't afford to go to DXB.

It's Abu Dhabi, not Dubai.

I think this is probably designed to help feed passengers into their recent expansion into the Middle East.

I’m disappointed that wizz haven’t looked to expand from bhx.Would be so so much better for European retailers.Why can’t we look at Reykjavik or Bergen for wizz air

Because Wizz dont have bases in these places

 

[Seasider]

Apologies!

As well as Abu Dhabi I see that Wizz are now offering connections to both Jeddah and Riyadh, both through Bucharest.

Jeddah requires 16h 20m transfer in Bucharest in both directions with the overall flight time 24h out and 24h 40m back (I've done Aus in less).

Riyadh is slightly better with 7h 35m in Bucharest on the way out but 14h 25m on the return with the overall flight times being 15h 40m out and 14h 25m back.

Both were random dates between Aug and Oct.

I guess if cheap enough it may appeal to some.
