The low cost giant Wizz Air removed flights from Israel to popular destinations. Yaniv Lanis, founder of the Facebook group Secret Flights, was interviewed on the program "Where's the Money" on 103FM and gave tips to those who purchased tickets and had their flight cancelled.

"Wizz Air allows you to transfer to adjacent destinations in the same country, if Rhodes or Crete are canceled you can transfer to Athens for the same price, that's our tip. In the last 24 hours, Wizz Air canceled four or five routes for the entire summer season, and in addition reduced the frequency of their flights in Europe, from eight Flights a week for four days a week," Lanis said.

"We have laws in the country and the law allows the airlines to cancel flights 14 days in advance with a full refund. In my opinion, this is not enough for those who built an entire vacation and it is very frustrating. On the other hand, it is difficult for me not to understand the airline here. The line is not a loss in a state of peace, but In the instability we are seeing right now, especially in light of what happened here with Iran, these are not headaches that the airlines are interested in, and we see it in other airlines, they said themselves - 'Look for us in September', we currently do not arrive. We have to remember when you bought the The ticket before October 7, neither he nor the airline knew what would happen here in the summer, there are also many passengers who don't want to fly now at all," he added.
