I wish Wizz Air didn't do so many late evening flights to Doncaster (or early morning in Warsaw's case). In fact they are often worse for this in the summer seasons than the winter. It would be nice to see some form of Wizz Air activity in daylight hours. I think the fact the airport virtually lies still from dawn to dusk also gives an even worse impression on the level of traffic available from there.

I'm not really sure on why they choose to do it year after year. I think this could be an issue for the airport in terms of attracting more passengers as they may not bother with Doncaster and choose elsewhere. For example, Ryanair fly to Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw from East Midlands at a sociable midday sort of times as well Vilnius from Leeds/Bradford and Krakow from various UK airports.

I think even people north of Nottingham or in South Yorkshire may prefer these options rather than leaving Doncaster so late they don't reach Poland until the middle of the night!
