Aerolinka Wizz Air

O aerolince

Wizz Air is a Hungarian low-cost airline that was founded in 2003. The first flight was carried out in 2004 from Katowice, Poland to Luton, London. Today, Wizz Air flies to 151 airports in 44 countries on 710 routes. Like most low-cost airlines, Wizz Air uses secondary airports, which can serve passengers faster and cheaper.
The fleet includes 119 ultra-modern Airbus A320, A321 and the more environmentally friendly A321 neo aircraft. This has made Wizz Air the airline with the smallest environmental footprint per passenger. Thanks to its modern fleet, it has also been listed as one of the ten safest low-cost carriers in 2019. Wizz Air's aircraft are recognisable by their distinctive pink colour.

Wizz Air Frequent Flyer Programme

Tipy jak ušetřit

<ul>
<li>Low-cost airlines may offer cheap tickets, but they charge additional fees for all services beyond the ticket. If you really want to save money, travel light with only a small carry-on bag, which is included in the ticket price. If possible, buy your tickets well in advance. The closer you get to the departure date, the more likely it is that prices will be higher.</li>
<li>Always buy tickets in the currency of the country you are departing from. If you convert the amount into your own currency, you will get a less favourable exchange rate and the ticket will be more expensive. For example, when flying from Budapest to Kutaisi, pay for your ticket in Hungarian forints (HUF).</li>
<li>If you're travelling with two or more people, it's usually worth registering to the Wizz Discount Club membership when you first buy your tickets. The cost of the fee will be "returned" to you in the form of discount on your first flight. You can enjoy the benefits of the discount club for a full year after paying the fee. If you do not take advantage of them, nothing will happen and your membership will automatically lapse after one year.</li>
