Leeds Bradford: Wizz Air Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[752]

Yep fully aware of the Engine Issues, it would be interesting to see the % of cuts around other UK airports if any. I know EDI & BRS are canned, so we have to be grateful they're still here. but find x2 weekly on all routes very underwhelming, considering some are x4 this summer. Hoping for more.

 

[White Heather]

My understanding is that virtually all LBA flights are full or nearly full, especially from Romania. The engine issues were stated to result in cuts of 10% across the board lasting for over a year. No doubt as aircraft are taken out of service, others will be moved around to fill gaps, leaving some bases short on numbers.

You would think that services with full/nearly full bookings would be prioritised over others and we would have benefitted at the expense of less well performing routes at other airports.

Wizz will have data from previous seasons about which routes perform best, not just in terms of how full flights are, but what yields are like on certain routes.

Also worth considering that due to the distance of the flights, it may not have been route A vs route B, but routes A&C vs route B, as routes A&C are shorter flights that can be done in the same amount of time as route B.

I for one am disappointed with Wizz’ offering. If as stated the routes doing better then DSA then why such cuts. Hope more gets more added and Vilnius is also added.

All flights from BHX on sale inc Wroclaw, so looks like LBA maybe loosing two destinations

KTW on sale now :-0
Albeit 2pw from April compared to 5pw over Winter

 

[JRP]

Am sure there is a perfect explanation to it, but the current offerings are disappointing compared with this year
Is this something which could be asked about in the next airport meeting?

KTW includes KRK so it may be that KTW and KRK are on the same days as opposed to the winter where they’re on different days

This is the airline that many love to clobber for their terrible customer service. No doubt some will complain their entire weekend is ruined and claim compo. Sometimes airlines can't win!

I think the 08:05 arrival may be a little optimistic.

 

[airforced]

Sometimes airlines can't win - but most of the time it is Wizz passengers!

Depends if LBA gets the wrecking ball out overnight while nobody's looking.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Where did the 08:05 arrival from cluj end up?

You'd have thought they would have learned from last winter...

 

[White Heather]

You'd have thought they would have learned from last winter...

Most of the time they landed ok in the fog when others didn't. Didn't seem to faze them and happy to use the 321s on autoland.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

You would, but it might be expecting too much for them to plan schedules to accommodate the quirks of every airport they fly into. In our case 'ideally' we want them not too early (fog), not too late (quota) and not at busy times of the day inbetween

The good thing though is Wizz seem pretty good in low viz, so maybe early mornings wont be an issue.
