Many Wizz Air passengers encountered an unpleasant surprise. Their flights were suddenly canceled or changed without prior notice, causing chaos and complaints from travelers.
Travelers complained about information chaos and canceled flights
Customers are unable to find out what is happening with their reservations. In many cases, there was a lack of explanation, which caused frustration among thousands of people planning their trips.
The reactions to the problem were intense, and passengers used social media to complain about the airline's lack of response. One angry customer wrote on Twitter that they "hours sitting on the floor of terminal" without receiving any information about the alleged flight cancellation.
Other travelers expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of access to essential information, calling the carrier's lack of response "disgraceful."
Wizz Air's reservation system failure
The Hungarian carrier finally issued an ambiguous statement regarding the problems with the reservation system. According to a statement published by Wizz Air on platform X, travelers may notice changes in their reservations on the website or app. Passengers were instructed to ignore these changes and were assured that the issue is being resolved.
""Why did you change the flight time from Luton to Tirana from 19:30 to 22:40? Could have made it 20:00 but why so late?" wrote one portal user. "Still no info on why flights from Naples were cancelled? Hours sitting on the floor of terminal with no information and not even a bottle of water. Disgraceful," commented someone else.
Wizz Air apologizes to travelers and works on the malfunction
The problem seems to affect flights to and from countries such as Turkey, Jordan, and Albania. Travelers are still complaining about a lack of specifics and unclear communication from the airline.
Dear customers, we are experiencing a technical issue affecting our booking system. As a result, you may notice changes to your booking on the app or website or receive related notifications. Please disregard these changes, and rest assured that we will update you as soon as the issue is resolved. Our team works diligently to fix the problem and restore the affected flights. Thank you for your understanding and patience," a Wizz Air spokesperson told The Sun.
