Wizz air delayed flight W9 4466 from Tirana to Luton today 17 October by over 12 hours

The admin fee is £7.50 per person per sector. The fare was the same both ways.
I have numerous confirmations where there are different numbers on the outbound and inbound flights.💙💛 💔1 -
Lets see what they refund me on this return sector and will challenge it and see how they respond. Might just book a cheap flight with them with different fare £££sectors and screen shot step by step then see how the confirmation comes back and if its equal again that proves them being dishonest.
So the delay was clearly down to them and wonder how many got the Euro 400 automatically or is it only paid when you challenge it. Hope other passengers on the flight read this.0 -
still no update except for Revolver and replied to them as follows but expect to get the generic Wizz air response to lodge it on their site so also copy pasted it to wizzair as a further on line complaint as follows
" Dear Customer Service,1). I noticed when logging onto my bank account a Euro 400 was paid in sterling for delayed flight compensation but no Wizz air confirmation by e mail or text and the Wizz air site under my 2 claims related to the Euro400 "Your Claims" still states "Claim registered"2). A historic complaint when purchasing the online flights direct on Wizz air site is now 66 days without a response and also shows " Claim Registered"3). The ticket refund lodged 23 October still states on their site "Payment in progress" The refund amount is in total doubt as Wizz air ticket cost confirmation is not in accordance with the ticket prices shown at the time of booking as the London- Tirana outward trip was in the £20+ bracket and the delayed return was far more. The Wizz air ticket purchase price payment summary as attached shows equal fares in both directions with a £15 administration fee which is not consistent with the respective costs when booking the ticket and a subsequent Wizz air invoice just gives the total £83.98 payment amount. This requires an Wizz air explanation how it can differ from screen shots taken of the step-by-step process of costs when booking an online ticket direct with Wizz airRegards,Paul Hamme. "0 -
just an update and noted a Wizzair payment of £41.99 on 20 June 2023 appeared in my credit card and reminded me of my complaint which I finally elevated to Aviation ADR late March .23 due to not a single communication back from Wizzair even after involving Resolver and still not a single Wizzair communication. the last 2 e mails to Wizzair copied and pasted as on line follow up complaints are as below . What a micky mouse unprofessional organisation making hard work and time wasting and should be taken to task over this to avoid it continuing
Also worth noting you get no ADR update e mail prompt and just logged on for the first time and got this

Subject: CONFIRMATION CODE KELYGZ CLAIM ID 2f, CLAIM ID 2f1,CLAIM ID f29,CLAIM ID f29,CLAIM ID dfYou Wizzair are a very confusing Miky Mouse outfit to communicate with to determine case status as Wizz air have not answered a single question and have closed cases without explanation. When this e mail is copied into Resolver all I get back from Wizzair is a generic response to go online to repeat myself which just generates yet another Wizzair complaint and get a new case number going round in circles.Under my claims I had 5 cases not 6 as that was a complaint but came up as a compliment and because you fail to add the query, I am clueless as to the content but rest assured it was not a compliment.

For reasons unclear only a sum of 400 Euro was paid in sterling into my account without a text or any notification . Why was the ticket cancellation refund missing on my only case with a payment option Case 2 which was still open implying the cancelled ticket was still under process for payment under case2.However,I have just logged on and case 2 is now Closed without any explanation whatsoever. This Cancelled ticket along with an explanation as to how Wizzair account for its value is outlined in Item 3 in Case 5 as I cannot fathom out on your site how to get continuity of the same complaint. The ticket cancellation refund is now 41 days overdue so an explanation is required.This e mail is being copied into Resolver who are asking for a progress update which no doubt will get the generic wizzair to log onto their site going nowhere fast as I will just copy paste this get No online copy of it in yet another new case Number0 -
This doesn't sound like you've had the experience you should.
At this stage, I'd be making sure that the ADR has the screenshots, invoice (the two should match according to receipts I have, if they don't there's a problem there and IMO should work in the way most favourable to you) and a copy of the emails.
I do agree that this needs to be chased. You of course have the right to cancel after a 5 hour departure delay, plus compensation if the issue is within the control of the airline (and it looks on this occasion it was).💙💛 💔0 -
thanks CKhalvashi as just logged on here for something else and noted your notification which steered me back to this Wizzair Saga.
I am not sure on how ADR site works but just logged onto their site and get this status at stage 2 which gives me 7 days to settle what and commencing from when as I have not received a single correspondence from Wizzair. The ADR sent messages on this site which are not dated and you get no e mail or text prompt to log onto their site. not sure what stages 3 to 8 are as never had the need to use this site before
Not sure why MSE removed part of my last post and just sent a message on ADR site which includes the MSE link to this post so they have the full history.on and get this as attached

Just been toying around with the ADR site and note the airline response is included which is dated 20 June 2023
1). It fails to address the main issue of ZERO Wizzair Communication with the passenger which is the complaint.
2). Why was this payment for the return ticket not included with the Euro 400 as it was part of my initial claim and would have avoided this saga of Wizzair subjecting me to all this long winded unnecessary stress.
3). Not sure why the ADR automated response classifies it as a "7 day settlement offer" as they finally paid the unused ticket which wizzair should have settled from the onset of my compensation claim.
Wizzair response to ADR 20 june 2023

My further response to ADRDear DonnaAre we on the same page regarding my complaint as there are 2 key issues here so the complaint is twofoldMy initial compensation claim dated 17 October 2022 to Wizzair was for the euro 400 for the delayed flight together with the return ticket refund as I cancelled it due to Wizzair 10 hour delayed flight but was unclear on the ticket refund amountWizzair should have made a one-off payment on 18 November 2022 for both delayed flight and return ticket refund which would have closed the case but they only paid the euro 400 and closed the case with "case Closed paid" hence generating a complaint for the outstanding return ticket refund forming a new case Number.The other complaint is total zero Wizzair communication to many repeated e mails complaints which were copy and pasted to their website to from a new case complaint record as their site does not display the compliant content. Their site also does not give any responses only status statements which are ambiguous like "case closed paid" or simply "case closed" without explanation which generated yet another complaint case as it was NOT resolved. The amount of frustration, stress and time wasted repeating myself sending endless e mails forming new cases due to Wizzairs total silence is therefore my second complaint.Donna do you consider it satisfactory that it took 7 months to get Wizzair to finally settle the return ticket refund which would still be ongoing generating further cases had I not involved ADR which appears the only communication Wizzair acknowledge. The big question here is many Passengers may also be subjected to this same Wizzair unacceptable and unprofessional silence via their website and this must cease. May I suggest to stop Wizzair total silence and disregard to passengers' complaints, that ADR impose a penalty payment for distress and wasted time to get resolution.Donna can you please escalate this case to the adjudicator as your site does not give that option only to hit the reject which is not applicable to this case.0
