Wizzair start regular schedule from Tenerife to Luton

Wizzair have set a regular schedule to London Luton LTN from Tenerife South TFS from 02 May.

This new schedule runs on Tuesdays and Saturdays and is offered as a possible repatriation flight for those in the Canary Islands, according the Embassy.

Wizzair at present have only been running ad hoc repatriation flights. This new schedule replaces those.

Prices as low as €24 one way, but earlier flights seem to have been booked, judging by the increase in price for this weekend - now €169, I believe.

Downside for Fuerteventura folk is TFS needs 2 x Binter flights, plus airport transfer bus.

Wizz Air's new service to Luton from LPA (Gran Canaria) started this week, will run Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday & seems to have got off to a good start. Both so far left on time.

Latest news: Wizz Air have just added Fuerteventura to their schedule to fill the EasyJet hole. Starting 3rd July will run twice a week service to Luton on Friday & Monday.

Looks like we have a new kid on the block giving RA & EasyJet some price competition! First week fares to Luton at €14.99.

That's good to hear, only time will tell if the schedules are reliable and not cancelled at last minute!

That’s good. So is SqueezyJet not flying to Fuerte anymore from London ?

EasyJet appear to have cancelled all of July 2020 from London Gatwick. Later dates up to end of May 2021 still showing from LGW.

No idea what they are up to, but if they let Wizz Air get a foothold from London, then they are going to find it more difficult to fill all their planes - assuming fewer people are going to want to fly in the near term.

Good luck to Wizz Air. Hope it works out for them, although they have stated that the 14 day UK quarantine rule from 08 June may make them re-consider.

Booked on an easy jet flight from Gatwick on 2 July, have boarding pass, but as you say the flights for July have now disappeared. Will have to wait and see what happens.
