<p>Even though Wizz Air is now one of the largest airlines, the beginnings were not easy for the company at all. Just six months after its inception, the airline faced bankruptcy. In 2004, all 250 employees worked for three months without pay to save the company. And they succeeded.</p>

Interesting Facts About Wizz Air

Aerolinka Wizz Air

O aerolince

<p>Wizz Air is a Hungarian low-cost airline whose history dates back to 2003. The first flight took place in 2004 from Katowice, Poland, to London Luton. Today, Wizz Air flies to 151 airports in 44 countries on 710 routes. Like most low-cost airlines, Wizz Air uses secondary airports, where passenger service can be faster and cheaper.</p>
<p>The fleet includes 119 ultra-modern aircraft of the Airbus A320, A321, and A321 neo types, which are more environmentally friendly. Wizz Air has thus become the airline with the smallest ecological footprint per passenger. Thanks to its modern fleet, it was also listed among the ten safest low-cost carriers of 2019. Wizz Air's aircraft are recognizable by their distinctive pink color.</p>

How to Find the Cheapest Flights with Wizz Air

Odbavení (Check-in)

<h3>Online Check-in</h3>
<p>Online check-in is available from 30 days to 3 hours before the scheduled departure, but only if you have purchased a specific seat along with your ticket. If you have not purchased a seat, you can check in no earlier than 24 hours before departure.</p>
<p><strong>There are two ways to complete online check-in:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Directly on the Wizz Air website (wizzair.com), where you log into your profile, fill in the required information, and generate a boarding pass. You must then print it (black and white is acceptable) and present it at the departure gate.</li>
<li>The second method is check-in via the Wizz Air mobile app (<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wizzair.WizzAirApp&amp;hl=cs&amp;gl=US" target="_blank">Google Play</a> for Android, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wizz-air/id583348801" target="_blank">App Store</a> for iOS) for smartphones. In the app, you need to fill in the required details and generate a boarding pass (in the form of a barcode). If you have an internet connection, you do not need to print the boarding pass; you can simply present it in the mobile app.</li>
</ul>
<p>When traveling within the Schengen Area, there is no need to provide any travel document information during online check-in.</p>
<h3>Airport Check-in</h3>
<p>Airport check-in is available for a fee of 13 EUR. It starts two hours before departure, and the check-in counter closes 40 minutes before departure. In some cases, counters may close even 1 hour before departure. You can check in at the airport without an additional fee if you have purchased a ticket in the Wizz Go, Wizz Plus &amp; Flex fare.</p>
<h3>Seat Selection</h3>
<p>During ticket purchase and online check-in, you have the option to purchase a specific seat for a fee. If you do not wish to reserve a specific seat, you can skip this step and be assigned a random seat for free.</p>
<p>If you are traveling with more people, be prepared for the airline to intentionally seat you apart. In this case, you can purchase a specific seat or the sitting together service.</p>
<p>If you are traveling with a child under 14 years old, you must pay extra for seat selection to ensure the child sits next to an adult.</p>

Travel Classes and Fare Tariffs at Wizz Air

Věrnostní program

<h3>Wizz Discount Club</h3>
<p>If you frequently use the services of this airline, it is definitely worth purchasing membership in their loyalty program, the Wizz Discount Club. A description of the loyalty program can be found below.</p>
<h3>Privilege Pass</h3>
<p>The Privilege Pass is more of an additional service rather than a loyalty program, which is beneficial for travelers who plan to fly very often.

Tipy jak ušetřit

<ul>
<li>Low-cost airlines may offer cheap flights, but they charge additional fees for all services beyond the ticket itself. If you really want to save money, travel light with only a small carry-on bag included in the ticket price. If possible, purchase tickets well in advance. The closer the departure date, the higher the likelihood that prices will increase.</li>
<li>Always purchase tickets in the currency of the country you are departing from. If you convert the amount to Czech crowns, you'll get a less favorable exchange rate, making the ticket more expensive. For example, when flying from Budapest to Kutaisi, Georgia, pay for the ticket in Hungarian forints (HUF).</li>
<li>If you're traveling with two or more people, it's usually worth buying a Wizz Discount Club membership with your first ticket purchase. The membership fee will "pay off" in the form of discounts on tickets from the first flight. You can enjoy the benefits of the discount club for a whole year from the payment of the fee. If you don't use them, nothing happens, and the membership automatically expires after a year.</li>

It is recommended to visit the check-in counter with these checked items, where the staff will label them for free.</p>
<h3>Traveling with Children Under 14 Years Old</h3>
<p>Children under 14 years old do not receive any special discounts on ticket prices; they pay the same amount as adults. They are not allowed to travel without the accompaniment of an adult (over 16 years old) and are entitled to a free seat allocation when an adult reserves a seat. The adult must pay for the seat reservation, and any number of children traveling with them can have seats in rows 18-33 for free, so the family can sit together.</p>

Complaints and Compensation for Canceled or Delayed Flights with Wizz Air

Kontakt

<p>If you want to contact Wizz Air, prepare yourself for a challenge. It is one of the most difficult airlines to reach.

Passengers often try to contact the company by commenting on Facebook posts.</p>
<p>You can officially contact Wizz Air at the phone number <strong>900 140 809, </strong>but only in English. The rate per minute is then £0.50 (0.6 EUR).
