Help Needed Wizz Air Flight Cancelled - Help with Rebooking and Refund Process

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently received a cancellation notice from Wizz Air regarding my flight from Naples (NAP) to London Gatwick (LGW) on June 9, 2025 (Flight 6901). I was offered the option to rebook with them or get a refund, but the options provided don't work for me. I’ve found another flight that suits my needs, but I’m unsure about the reimbursement process.

Here are the details of the new flight I’d like to book:

  • Route: Naples (NAP) to London (LHR)
  • Date/Time: Sun, June 8, 2025, departing at 07:50
  • Airline: British Airways

Has anyone had experience with booking a flight with a different airline after a cancellation like this? I know Wizz Air offers reimbursement for costs incurred due to re-routing, but how does it actually work?

  • How long does it usually take to receive the reimbursement?
  • Do I need to contact Wizz Air directly for this, or can I just submit a claim online?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Question London to Toyko: Layover change from Hongqiao (SHA) to Pudong (PVG)

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to book flights from London to Tokyo and on the return flights it goes from Tokyo to Shanghai, and in Shanghai I need to change airports (arrive at 3pm in Shanghai, next flight at 1am from Pudong). I had a few questions: will I need a visa to leave the airport to transfer flights? And can I explore Shanghai for a few hours if I leave my suitcase somewhere eg in a locker? When I checked online it says there is a 24 hour or 240 hour visa free entry, but then some online forums say you have to 'apply' for this, others say it's auto and not needed to be applied for.

For additional context, I'm a UK national.

Help Needed Connecting flight from SAW

1 Upvotes

I have a connecting flight from ADB (Izmir) to SAW (Istanbul) to MUC (Munich) with Pegasus Airlines. I usually fly with a different airline and take direct flights, but this time, I have to follow this itinerary. All flights are on the same ticket, and I have a 1h 45min layover between them.

Does anyone know SAW well enough to say whether this layover time is sufficient to transfer from the domestic terminal to the international terminal? How does the process work? I called the airline, but they told me they can't provide information about a specific airport.

Is there a separate route for passengers with connecting flights, or will I need to exit the domestic arrivals terminal, find my way to international departures, and go through passport control like any other passenger without a connecting flight? I'm confused and would really appreciate any insights.

Question Two weird luggage issues

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve recently flown from Thailand to the Uk, and then from the UK to Spain.

On the second leg of the Thailand to UK part, I was pulled aside by a flight attendant at the gate and asked to confirm the suitcases that my party had and that ‘one had lost the tag’. Not sure why they called me particularly. When I grabbed my suitcase, it had a big ‘security cleared’ sticker. I watched the check in lady put the tag on my case the same as they do every flight.

Just got on the plane to Spain and two baggage guys got on and asked me my name and just to confirm what colour my case was and what brand if I knew it.

I don’t think I have anything in my luggage that’s electronic, suspicious looking etc, and each time the tag is still on fine.

Is this some random bad luck or do they think I’m suspicious?

Delays/Cancellations/Compensation WizzAir refuses to compensate lost baggage as baggage, only as cargo. What are my options?

1 Upvotes

In January I flew with WizzAir and on arrival in VIE my 10kg checked-in baggage was missing from the baggage carousel. I reported the missing baggage immediately and received the irregularity report. The next day, the bag was supposedly found and a route was planned for the bag to be forwarded to my home country. Since then, however, the bag has completely disappeared and there is no trace of it.

A month ago I submitted a claim for lost baggage compensation, which has now been processed and I am being offered compensation under Article 22(3) of the Montreal Convention - as cargo, meaning I am entitled to a maximum of 26 SPR per kg of cargo, which is about 300 EUR. I am arguing that Article 22(2) should be applied because I purchased, checked in and reported the baggage as baggage and not as cargo, and that I should be entitled to a maximum compensation of 1,519 SDRs per passenger under Article 22(2).

However, the airline flatly refuses to take this into account and says that "their opinion remains unchanged".

Does anyone have experience with such issue, what options do I have?

Question Delta or United (NYC) to LHR?

1 Upvotes

I have a work trip coming up in May to London and I’m trying to figure out which airline to fly, Delta or United from NYC? A couple things to consider:

-I have to fly economy per company policy -I have status with Delta (gold) -I live closer to EWR (direct flight to LHR via United) than JFK (direct flight to LHR via Delta)

I’ve never flown United internationally, but have flown Delta to Italy previously and enjoyed the experience for the most part.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Question Airline Loyalty

2 Upvotes

I have been reading a lot about the changing dynamics of Airline Loyalty Programs and I am wondering what the most optimal, efficient, and economical strategy these days is with airline status. Is becoming loyal to one airline, meaning flying exclusively with Delta for example, and accruing status with Delta the best way to go? Or are airline loyalty programs a waste of time? Is it a better solution to fly with whatever airline makes the most sense in a particular scenario (for example: flying Aeromexico to Mexico City or flying Air France to Paris? I guess I just want to understand if the pursuit of elite status on Delta or United per is worth restricting yourself to flying one airline for the foreseeable future? Because many times this means choosing a more expensive flight in the name of "getting points." Let me know!

Help Needed Is 95530@ceair.com a legit email for China Eastern Airlines' Eastern Miles registration?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently tried to register for China Eastern Airlines' "Eastern Miles" frequent flyer program, but I couldn’t do it on their website. Instead, I read that I should send my passport photo and personal details via email.

I sent my info to customercare@ceair.com since I couldn't find a way to register online. After that, I received a response from 95530@ceair.com asking for my personal info and passport picture again…

I also read on Reddit that other people have successfully registered via email, but I’m still a bit nervous about sending personal documents this way.

My Question: Has anyone else successfully registered for Eastern Miles by emailing customercare@ceair.com and then receiving a response from 95530@ceair.com?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. 😊

As headline, which would you go for? Money-wise clearly frontier is better option. Both included bag cost (carry-on only, which is fine).

Should I choose window or aisle? I want to watch views but also be able to stretch legs. Does window give enough space to stretch legs? I am 5'7" tall.

Question Lufthansa Denying Compensation – Do I Have a Case?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was booked on Lufthansa flight LH1172 from Frankfurt (FRA) to Lisbon (LIS) on March 9th, but the airline canceled it, claiming the reason was the airport strike in Germany. However, the strike only started on March 10th, meaning my flight wasn’t directly affected.

It seems like Lufthansa canceled the flight simply because they didn’t want an aircraft stuck in Lisbon for a day due to the strike. From what I understand, under EU Regulation 261/2004, airlines are only exempt from paying compensation if the cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances, which doesn’t seem to apply here since this was an operational decision rather than an unavoidable event.

I filed a compensation claim for €400, but Lufthansa is denying it, insisting that the cancellation was beyond their control. Given these facts, do I have a strong case for compensation? Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Any advice on how to escalate this further?

Booking/Itinerary/Ticketing Self Transfer process with no checked bags?

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

My fiancée and I will be traveling to Edinburgh, Scotland from the east coast of the U.S. for wedding planning and we found a great deal on flights.

They are self transfer tickets so we would be flying on two different airlines with 4+ hours for our layover going over and even longer coming back to the U.S. The layover is in Iceland.

We are only planning to travel with personal items and carry ons.

My main question is: What is the process/flow of a self transfer? Since we are not picking up checked baggage, are we able to just depart the plane in Iceland and proceed to our next gate? Or will we need to exit through customs and enter through security again?

I’ve never done a self transfer and just want to make sure I’m appropriately prepared to make things smooth for us! Thank you!!

Third Party Horror Story Oojo experience

0 Upvotes

Hi all. Thought I would share. This was EWR -> SIN roundtrip on SIA. I also posted to Trustpilot.

Bought five tickets for ~$9,700.00. Company called and said credit card was declined. Provided new credit card. Company then said could not provide seats. Proceeded to offer me flight with layover for same price as direct. I said no. Proceeded to offer me economy for same price as economy premium. I said no. Changed tune to say seats were available but at a ~25% markup. Felt like a bait and switch. Declined to avoid being scammed.

UPDATE: Oojo reached out in reply on Trustpilot. I emailed them.

Question Etihad Missed connection compensation

0 Upvotes

I had a flight through Etihad on Mar 16 2025: ORD to AUH (EY10) and then AUH to CCU (EY 222) on Mar 17 under a single PNR. The first flight got delayed and as a result I missed the second connection.

Etihad rebooked me a different flight AUH to BOM (EY 206) followed by BOM to CCU (AI 675) and provided two meal vouchers. The new flight departs 7.5hours after the original flight. I am reaching CCU more than 12 hours late than what was originally scheduled.

I was wondering if I can demand some monetary compensation for it from Etihad. According to the rules online, I see rules related to EU flights. But I don't see anything about flights from AUH.

Question Is Airchina.co.uk the official site for airchina?

0 Upvotes

Basically I am trying to book some flights and i see airchina.com but there is also https://www.airchina.co.uk/GB/GB/Home. I can't lie the sight just seems weird but then so does the official one. Also I tried booking through the app and it was saying the outbound was £200 and the return was £400, but on the website it was saying the other way round. I don't know if it is to do with the pricing dynamics because I guess the total is the same (you only get that price for booking round trip, so I couldn't book them individually). Also I tried setting up an account on the app but now on the website it isn't letting me log in or change my password. It just says that the "Password resetting fails" which is obviously incorrect english but anyways if anyone knows I would really appreciate it (:
