A British holidaymaker has vowed never to use Wizz Air again after the airline canceled her flight from Portugal to London with just eight hours notice - and was unable to help rebook another flight or find a hotel room.

The passenger, Alicia Fellowes, was due to fly from Lisbon to London Luton with her boyfriend, Oliver, on Sunday June 26 at 10 p.m. - flight W9 4494 - but received a text message at 2 p.m. informing her that the flight had been cancelled, along with a link for a refund or 'Wizz Credit' it didn't work.

The couple were to return for further work commitments the next day, but the next Wizz Air flight was three days later. As a result, they were forced to spend almost £700 on a flight to Manchester with Air Portugal which landed that evening and £144 on an airport hotel. Alicia spent £33 on a train to London the next day, while Oliver paid £154 for a flight from Manchester to Inverness instead of Luton as planned.
