L., an Israeli who is currently stuck in Italy, tells Israel Hayom this evening (Sunday) about a difficult experience she had with her partner and about a hundred other Israelis last Friday.
"The workers in Italy started a strike that affected hundreds of flights, including our flight. We went through the whole process, we got to the plane and there we were informed that the flight was slightly delayed, we were optimistic even though we understood that we were not being told the whole truth," said L.
"After we waited a few hours, we were informed that the flight was completely canceled and that we had to make do, either fly to Israel with stops and on long and tedious routes or wait in Italy for the next Wizz Air flight. The problem was that most of their flight was full, some of the passengers were Sabbath-keepers and we, along with other Israelis, We found ourselves stuck in Italy for several days and without an answer, there is no one to talk to," she added.
"Even during the check-in process, we felt that something was strange. We didn't check the weight in our luggage, someone there hinted that the flight was canceled at all, but they continued with the ticketing and isolation process and only after a few tiring hours did they say that the flight was canceled. Visa Air refunded us the cost of the flight, but now the prices are much higher and no one will give us any money back for it. There were Israelis who caught a flight to Jordan and from there took a taxi to the border crossing in Beit Shan, it's just ridiculous," concluded L.
The strike in Italy ended on Friday and as part of it, hundreds of flights were canceled.
Regardless of the strike, Wizz Air is known to the Israeli public as having canceled quite a few flights recently also on its routes from London to London, Budapest, Abu Dhabi and other destinations.
