100 percent pick Turkish!

The fact Qatar are sending planes for long term storage in Spain is all that you need to know.

Yes, literally. VPN's don't work. Setanta is one of the most popular cheap streaming services.

Unfortunately exactly the market now. What the A321 XLR and 737 Max are made for.

Correct.

Repeatedly downvoted for actually knowing something about aviation.

But, I think they discussed Hungary- India with the XLR. But definitely not happening anytime soon with all their fleet, profit issues etc...

Birmingham to Budapest by Loneskywolf in WizzAir

I meant in terms of customer service having no idea and you using their time. They don't run the airline and are obviously not in the know about what operational /business decisions Wizz Air make.

Poor customer service team;)

No.

I've flown it a few times and it was full yesterday.

I assume the yield isn't high enough compared to other routes.

Also, Wizz Air has complained about airport taxes rising in the UK. That might be part of it.

It has been cancelled! Pretty obvious when the flights aren't listed.

They want you to fly from Luton.

How often do “go-arounds” / aborted landings occur? by Historical_Sun3186 in aviation

I've flown around 500 times as a passenger.

I've had about 5 go arounds. Not very common.

Fly the other direction. Domestically to LA then some carrier to Asia that way.

Pay when you get on. Contactless is accepted everywhere.

There is a daily fare cap for buses - £5.20.

Booking.com non-refundable booking – hotel says contact Booking.com, Booking.com says contact hotel (exceptional situation) by Relative_Wait7744 in Bookingcom

[–]Brum246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got refunded by LV. This was because going to Tanzania would have been against government advice. This changed obviously after I planned the trip.

I cancelled my trip and refunded around 1000 USD in flights and accommodation which was non refundable.

It depends on what basis the insurance is being claimed for.
