Wizz Air - Winter 18/19

Looking at Flightradar24 it is showing Sundays flight to Vilnius being operated by the A321, can anyone confirm? And is it for the whole winter? Think last year it was upgraded to the A321 but was only a month or two then went back to A320.

Would this suggest that United is looking at returning back to British Isles Transatlantic flying? As I know that they ceased this for Transcon flying, so maybe that market will be filled now.

Disgrace that the regions outside London are forced to pay this tax.

It's a disgrace that certain parts of the UK get APD devolved while others are refused. The setup of APD is a disgrace.

[inOban]

Of course APD is a disgrace. It should be replaced by a fuel duty, but this is illegal under international law.

So will this make Ryanair throw the toys out of the pram ??
They were not happy about APD
i am sure one of the Killead Trinity will have the answer ?

I see that Reykjavik is still running with EasyJet. Was this not ending?

i am glad to see that it is staying.

KEF was always winter seasonal, although I think it does start a few weeks earlier

[It's only Me]

I went to KEF with Easy in June. Didn’t think that was a winter month.

Here we go again!!! I better turn up earlier this weekend for my flight!!
Surely the management at BFS must take the blame as this has being going on for months
