Wizz Air cancelled flight, EU 261 compensation
Wizz Air cancelled a flight in July, on 29 September they recognised compensation was due. However, since then they say "due to some technical reasons, the bank transfer is still pending.

Teesside International Airport - an absolute gem of a place to fly from
By a long shot, Teesside International Airport is the best airport that I've used for many years. It's absolutely tiny and the number of destinations that it services are limited, but if it fits your criteria, then give it a go ! Friendly people, flawless service, carparking just outside the terminal building, quality food…
