I am also wondering about this, has anybody travelled with Wizz lately and been asked for more money?

Aparently if you have a package holiday (not just fights) they cannot pass on the charges as ABTA regs limit the liability unless it is over a certain percentage of the initial price

Ahh that explains it. A friend of mine has received a letter saying theat BMI are taking the extra money from her debit card - but she booked flights only. Thanks for clarifying that Benson
