General question for those using them regularly, are they in the habit of cancelling flights at short notice which had previously been available & confirmed as operating ?
Mrs Playstation had a confirmed reservation last week BBU-BCN, 7 days before departure she printed her boarding pass & (bizarrely) it was for a flight the day before the confirmed reservation,& arriving at an inconveniently late hour rather than mid a-noon as reserved.
Being a public holiday in Spain (assume this was the reason) nobody from Wizz appeared to be available to answer the Spanish number quoted on their website.
Finally, the next day she received an email confirming the cancellation/non-availability of the reserved flight, offering re-booking / refund.
As the timings didn't suit she canx & rebooked with Blue Air.
A fellow pax on her Blue Air flight told her that she had given up using Wizzair as this short notice cancellation of flights had happened to her several times.
I know that Ryanair for example have been guilty of doing this in the Winter months if flights were not sufficiently well subscribed, but usually it was decided quite some time in advance.
Just interested to know if this cancellation/offer of re-booking is a fairly standard modus operandi (as the other party suggested to my partner) or a one-off, as it is difficult to take seriously / rebook with a carrier that runs its schedule in such a random fashion.
