“Better than Ryanair, but....”
Review of Wizz Air


Reviewed 18 February 2019

Their call centre charges are a rip-off. Only call them if you MUST, because the price per minute is very high, they don't speak English very well, and you'll be charged £15/EUR if it turns out your change could've been done by yourself online.

Have flown over 25 times with Wizzair and almost, almost, had a good or neutral experience every time. You have to make sure your hand luggage is the correct size, bear in mind that normal-sized, 10kg cabin bags now MUST be paid for as checked-in luggage, and consider getting priority boarding as it's worth it.

Problems tend to be more with your fellow passengers, frankly - the old Kosice-Doncaster/Sheffield route (similar to a lot of Romania-Britain routes) was quite unpleasant due to bad behaviour and, ahem, hygiene issues. Also, the on-board selection for food and drink isn't so good. Finally, many flights from Luton are crazily early.

Still, better than Ryanair!

for short flight 3 hours quite convenient price. so silly to hope for the best conditions. each part knows what it agreed to.so buy a package of nuts or a dry cranberry in advance and it will become a tasty surprise in flight

I do not mind flying wizz air, it is very cheap. With priority boarding, on-board luggage and chosen seats in 6th row we paid 136eur for 2 persons. I like that you can not move your seat's back, so no-one is sleeping in my lap during the flight. Crew is good, food not so much. There was no delay.

The staff is always polite and patient. They help you with any kind of information you need.
A minus point was that we departed and arrived later than planed.

I paid for extra legroom and was pleasantly surprised with how much extra I got. I'm 6ft4". I did try out the normal seat when we arrived and I would fit so I could tolerate it for a shorter flight but not 3hrs.
Yes you have to pay for anything extra but that's reflected in the cheap starting price.
