WizzAir helps Hungarians get home
Change language:
With thousands of travellers stranded all over the world, repatriation flights have been a noteworthy part of air travel in the last few weeks. Wizz Air is participating in repatriation efforts, flying Canadians and Americans home out of Hungary, and taking Hungarians on the journey back to Budapest, reports simpleflying.com
Today two Airbus A321neos are heading across the Atlantic Ocean with a refueling stop at Keflavik Airport in Iceland. Somewhat reminiscent of WOW Air’s routing when it was still in service, the stops are necessary due to the smaller aircraft in operation. The details of the two planes are as follows:
Airbus A321neo with registration HA-LVE plans to go to Toronto, then carry on to Chicago and Miami. The flight number for this itinerary is WZZ9021.
Airbus A321neo with registration HA-LVC will go from Keflavik to New York and Los Angeles as flight WZZ9011.
Looking at the route map on Wizz Air’s website, we can see for sure that there are no North American destinations offered by the budget carrier. This is somewhat obvious given its location in central Europe. Furthermore, the airline’s narrow body A320-family fleet limits where it can fly to.
Yes, but Wizz air did not offer a reasonable price for a one way ticket back to Canada for Canadian Hungarian citizens who wish to return to their home before picking up Hungarians from Canada & USA …$1500.00 euros equivalent to $2,250.00 Canadian each to Toronto only….then what ? we live in (Edmonton Alberta)…flight rate as quoted by bpest@international.gc.ca was totally unrealistic for the average pensioned retirees. So we are forced to stay in Hungary at our expense until May 5th hopefully flying throu KLM air as our per our flight booking which we are on our 3rd change due to cancellation ..we currently can not get out of Hungary to Schiphol, Amsterdam & back to Edmonton, Alberta Canada…so no not impressed with the offer to return to Canada as a Hungarian & Canadian citizens..E.
