Wizz Air/ Travel Insurance.

flipflop1140

I've booked 5 tickets (on my credit card) Doncaster to Krakow on 16th May with Wizz Air. We expected the flight to be cancelled and a refund/credit issued. Wizz Air now say the flight will go ahead. UK & Polish Government advise is not to travel. No hotels, restaurants,  bars or venues are open. If I ask Wizz Air for a refund or flight change I will lose 75% of the £700 paid. It would appear the they would rather fly almost empty than give refunds/credit notes. I have Travel Insurance but cannot get an answer from them before I cancel. Any advise please.

I wouldn't cancel 

If they put you in the ridiculous position of not cancelling but both the UK and polish government advising against travel I would claim on your travel insurance or claim back on your credit card

You need to find out if your travel insurance covers you for this virus.
If it does then the insurance will  refund you as travelling would be against Government advice

Looks like it's been cancelled to at least May 9th https://www.thefirstnews.com/article/wizz-air-extends-suspension-of-all-flights-to-and-from-poland-12273
It could be a rolling date, because of refunds.
I do agree with Browntoa, I wouldn't cancel.
