WizzAir Sep 13, 2012

Nigel, be careful with WizzAir's site. I don't know if they've solved the problem (I would assume so or they would have been out of business by now), but a few months ago my husband booked a flight to Krakow and somehow the website was hacked and his credit card was 'stolen' and cancelled. Don't click anything for payment more than once! If you book it through Cheaptickets.nl or whatever, there doesn't appear to be a problem.

Wizzair continued Sep 19, 2012

Thanks for the warning. There still seem to be problems with the Wizzair site (not booking, just logging in - and I thought Rayanair was crap!) Finally booked it through e-dreams (I have those all the time), and guess what; the confirmation came through from Wizzair....
So I got an 18 euro discount from e-dreams and a 24 euro 'administration fee' appeared somewhee else.

However, it means I can fly from Eindhoven and presumably arrive somewhere east of Hamburg.....

Look

Yikes Oct 1, 2012

So it wasn't for nought then, my warning. Crazy that they haven't sorted out their online booking problems. Glad you got it sorted! Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Unfortunately, their website is only in Czech, but I think you'll understand the pictures

cranky waiters? Oct 11, 2012

Hi Pavel,

Great news about the location! Wait, I see this staircase on the website and am having a flashback to the conference post-powwow restaurant - it's not that place, is it? The one with the stressed-out waiters?) Really looking forward to this powwow - Dec. 1st can't get here soon enough!
