A British family managed to recover their lost money and expenses from Wizz Air after their holiday flights were cancelled at the last minute. Father-of-four Russell Quirk was left £3,900 out of pocket after he had to buy last-minute flights to Portugal when Wizz Air cancelled his just as he was about to leave home. He was reimbursed for his initial ticket price but demanded the airline pay for the excess costs he had incurred for new flights, a night at a hotel and other expenses. As a last resort, Quirk applied for bailiffs who visited Wizz Air’s desk at Luton Airport and the airline finally handed over the £4,500, incorporating the £3,900 charges as well as additional fees.
