I guess not really relevant to the question though as TCX weren't a LCC.

Not the best example but this did happen at TC where an aircraft would arrive in the early hours and depart an hour later, but as stated TC is not a LCC so I digress.
Wizz, oddly even in the winter months, seem to have a much shorter buffer. For example, the late Sofia out of Luton doesn’t arrive until 0320 local, and in some instances is off again at 6 to another destination.
This morning G-WUKG arrived from St Petersburg at 0630 and was scheduled to depart to Belgrade at 0710.
