Nuances of flying with Wizz Air
- Read the conditions very carefully! Literally every small detail will be charged extra, so be mentally prepared.
- Check in online! Airport check-in will cost extra — up to 40 euros. Online check-in is available 48 hours before departure.
- Measure your hand luggage! There are calibrators both at check-in and right before boarding — for those who checked in online.
- If you fly often — get a membership, it helps save money. Discounts apply not only to you but also to your travel companions.
- Choose the fare based on your trip — light, with baggage, or with cancellation flexibility. The latter two options will cost more.
- If you don’t want to check in luggage but have more items than allowed in standard hand baggage, buy the WIZZ Priority service. It lets you take both a backpack and a suitcase (55×40×23 cm, up to 10 kg).
