Last year I flew Wizzair a lot, far more than Ryanair, simply because they were so cheap or the T&C of the ticket were so favourable to me.
I'm wondering however if Wizzair are becoming the new Air Berlin - namely a LCC for which substantial profit is always going to happen soon rather than now. Any thoughts ?
Certainly feels like that. They are running from Ryanair in many instances. Tirana is the next battleground and they'll not fair well there, the battle lines are drawn and from here on in Europe with the exception of places where they have slots (LTN,MXP etc.), they'll avoid fighting Ryanair. They'll look east and are that rate they'll be well protected from Ryanair.
