    Is there any way to know why a flight was delayed and how long the official delay was?
    Was flying Wizz BUD-GLA last night. Pilot just said flight was delayed getting to BUD and when it arrived it was dirty so needed extra cleaning. Was scheduled to arrive 10.10pm to GLA. By my reckoning doors opened at 1.10 or 1.11am but flight radar has flight landing at 1.03am…

    Flightradar24 reports landing time, so the gate time will be later. Google suggests an arrival time of 0109, which doesn’t help if you’re trying to make it three hours.

    @AndrewT, don’t know who decides official gate time but I’m sure it would be in Wizz Airs best interests to declare 1.09 and not the actual 1.10 or 1.11 it actually was…
    Also I have no idea if the previous delay in Tel Aviv was “extraordinary” either. Not sure if it’s worth the effort of making a claim with Wizz Air anyway 😂

    It seems you don’t have a delay of 181 minutes or more.
