    1. My flights on BA were cancelled twice so this time I’m using wizz. It seems neither of them can operate efficiently but I’ll never use BA again.

  3. My flight was just cancelled and the refund process is deliberately complicated: you have to accept a refund in credits and then request the credits be converted into a real money refund to the payment card – which mysteriously takes up to 30 days. Fortunately, it was only €9.99 – though that no doubt explains their difficulties.

    1. Actually, this is laughing stock… they just announced a direct connection between Madeira and Rome (there is not such a thing, yet), starting from next September… and now?!!! Forget it, I’m going to leave Madeira for good in a while anyway…

  4. While they may offer the cheapest seats, they also have the biggest baggage prices which in most cases it is cheaper to use easyJet or BA if taking baggage

  6. The cancelled flights to Madeira are from London. Not really a surprise given economic recession in UK and the fact there is a lot of competition on London flights> Jet2, Ryanair, Easyjet, British Airways, TUI…

    Budapest, Warsaw, Katowice, Vienna, Rome are still operating in Madeira.

      Bom dia
      Complete right about everything a country that been complete destroyed by to PM the greased piglet and liz trash made pig zero of everything they shouldn’t by allowed to exercise anymore any type of governmental jobs in their lives .

  7. I have a Madeira flight booked for 24 of March to Madeira from Gatwick..is still ok , nothing cancelled yet…but my return which supposed to be on 1 of April was cancelled.. nothing to rebook the last day when u can get back from Madeira to UK with WizzAir is 25 of March…
    Looks like slowly this company is going down …to many flights are cancelled to many destination are shut down

  8. Just had my flight cancelled. This was to be my first time using this carrier. Will never book with them again.

  9. Since booking our Summer 2023 flights to Madeira (original booking made on 12/08/2022), Wizz Air has changed or cancelled our flights THREE times in the last four months (one schedule change and two cancellations).

    The first ‘schedule change’ (20/10/2022) switched the flight departure airport from Gatwick to Luton.

    Then they cancelled those new flights too (12/12/2022) and moved us on to flights departing back from Gatwick again – but on different dates.

    And now the most recent cancellation (04/02/2023) is because Wizz Air decided (without notice) to cancel all routes/flights to Madeira. Each time they cancelled our flights, I’ve had to re-arrange our holiday dates with our hotel and also re-arrange our airport parking.

    Now I have to completely re-book our flights with a different operator, which are at this time considerably more expensive!

    Their customer service agent could not help at all… except to say I should submit a complaint and ask for some compensation for this TRIPLE inconvenience.

    I have ALREADY submitted one complaint to them the last time they changed our flights for which I still have not received any reply either!

    Now I have strongly urged them to consider paying me some compensation (above and beyond the basic refund), else I will escalate my complaints to the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), the AviationADR, the UK travel industry ombudsman and all other channels available to me – until I get an appropriate response from them.

    I doubt I will ever get any response from them, let alone any compensation!
    They have literally ruined our summer plans!

    Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

    1. Sounds a nightmare, I hope someone here has some advise for you. I think taking the complaint further as you say with other methods and not the airline, you should get somewhere faster.

    2. Really good luck with that. I’m still waiti for my compensation from last year for a flight delayed by 5 hours.

    3. i had exatly same situation with withair, original flight was from Luton, they moved me to Gatwick on different dates, than back to Luton, than canceled. i have accomodation prepaid, have to book now either with ryanair or BA, both at least twice more for what i paid to wizzair

  10. If wizzair are pulling out of Madeira whoever will be next? It’s certainly not a budget friendly holiday destination anymore, it’s expensive.

  11. I was so happy to be able to enjoy a direct Rome-Madeira flight…..I already wanted to book it for September! Better to wait and keep an eye out. I booked a flight with Wizzair to another destination in May, let’s hope for the best…..

  12. Although I absolutely HATE Wizz Air now (as they COMPLETELY messed me around when cancelling our Summer ’23 flights to Madeira), I’ve always managed to call Wizz Air FOR FREE (in the UK) & get through to someone pretty quickly – so just wanted to share the number all with you: 0330 977 0444.

    They say the number is only for people needing ‘special assistance’… whatever that means… BUT each time I’ve called, the Customer Service Agent was able to:
    1. amend my daughter’s Passport number (when I tried to check-in for a flight last Summer and what I entered didn’t match whatever they had),
    2. change my booking (free of charge) twice. When they cancelled / rescheduled my Summer 23 flights back on Oct 22 and again in Dec 22
    3. process a refund (without too much fuss) when they cancelled all routes to Madiera last week.

    Don’t get me wrong… I still HATE them for what they’ve just done (cancelled all routes to Madeira), as I’ve just had to pay nearly DOUBLE with another airline… but at least this phone number DOES seem to work for me ok!

    Hope this helps!
