"one of the worst companies"

(Greece)

Trip Verified |  It is one of the worst companies to fly and even though initially considered as cheap, in the booking course is not! When I have the option to fly with another company on the day & route, I always avoid Wizz. Charging for cabin luggage more than ticket. Recently there is no option for random seat. It has to be paid extra! So what is the purchased ticket for? For any reason, a change is required, you will get charged for calling to their call centre, making change , even changing name is €50. Customer care is one of the worst. In most of the cases there is always a delay. Minimum of 1 hour. There is no priority to families and people with assistance.

“never again with Wizz”

(Greece)

Trip Verified | By far the worst airline I have ever traveled with in my life! They consistently cause issues for passengers, either with check-in (€45 fine if not done electronically) or with luggage if it's not precisely the size they demand, weighed down to the gram, of course. And naturally, the delays of 2 and 2.30 hours every time. But never again with Wizz!

"not accept the certificate of death"

(Serbia)

Trip Verified | Booked a ticket with Wizz air and had a death in the family and they did not accept the certificate of death because he died few days earlier than their rules. I asked at least to be refunded in the Wizz account so we can use it later but they refused.

"Good value for money"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified |  Ground staff at Abu Dhabi good, provided by Etihad. Boarding was fairly painless and via an airbridge which does slow the process down somewhat. Once onboard, constant reminders to take seats and not block aisles but ignored by many fellow passengers as they tried to swap seats with others as they clearly hadn't paid to sit togther; basics if flying a low cost carrier. Seats OK but any longer than 4 hours becomes uncomfortable. Crew OK and provided a good service. Their authority undermined on a couple of occasions when the seat belt sign was on for turbulence and pax just getting up and walking aroumd despite being asked to sit down. Disembarking was through front and back doors which meant a speedy process to the terminal. Flight was punctual and is the norm for this route. Good value for money.

"staff was very friendly"

(Italy)

Trip Verified | I usually book an emergency exit but this time I opted for a regular seat. I was surprised by how spacious it felt. Flights were on time and the Serbian staff was very friendly. The perfumes sold on the plane are 12% - 15% cheaper than those at Hamburg Airport. Only thing I would improve is their vegetarian sandwich which is a cheesy paste. It is edible and reasonably priced but not particularly tasty.

“Horrible customer care”

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | This was the worst ever experience I have had in 18 years of travelling by air. I flew from Gatwick to Vienna and back the same day with a cabin approved hand luggage. The ground team in Gatwick was super helpful and effective however this cannot be applied to personnel in Vienna airport. The hand luggage I have been using for years and two most recent trips I have used was during Christmas interestingly using Wizz Air again and yesterday, I had no issues. However the ground staff in Vienna had decided that I suddenly have an incorrect luggage demanding me to pay 60EUR or I won't be able to board the plane. I was treated like I was less than human, suffering with physical health that was very much affecting my wellbeing due to their treatment. And when trying to explain this to the personnel handling the boarding I was told that my health was my problem and I should not worry about it. They refused to provide me their names and told me they did not have time to deal with me, I should pay and get on the plane otherwise I could stay in Vienna. I would never recommend anyone to fly by Wizz Air and especially from Vienna. Horrible customer care with no human manners. Absolutely poor communication skills and definitely not suitable for working with people. The two gentlemen should reflect and maybe change their roles where customer care is not needed to prevent more vulnerable passengers to become more ill just thanks to their inhuman approach.

"recurring issues with this airline"

(Portugal)

Trip Verified |  Wizz Air Flight W48372 on 30.01.2024, from Baku to Rome Fiumicino was delayed for more than three hours, it was supposed to depart at 23:15 and only departed the next day 31.01.2024 at 02:48. No apologies from any cabin crew member or the pilot were presented. I have recurring issues with this airline.

"recent nightmare with Wizz Air"

(France)

Not Verified | I want to share a recent nightmare with Wizz Air during my flight on January 25, 2024, from Paris BVA to Vilnius. Arriving over 3.5 hours early, I got blindsided by a sneaky 47 euros check-in fee at the counter—no warning from Wizz Air or Booking.com about this hidden charge. To make matters worse, I tried paying online for the airport check-in, being well within the 3-hour window. However, the website tricked me into paying for the return flight instead of the targeted one. When I called customer service, it cost me an extra 10 euros for an international call, and the staff's irresponsiveness and rude attitude with mixed opinions only added to the chaos. This deceiving website and extra fees ended up doubling my original cost to 148 euros instead of 87 euros. Beyond the financial hit, this experience ruined my trip. Wizz Air's lack of transparency, hidden fees, and unhelpful customer service are inexcusable.

"I really like Wizz Air"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I really like Wizz Air and feel that they come in for a lot of unnecessary criticism. The aircraft are relatively new, the seats are comfortable, the onboard catering is good and very reasonably priced, there has always been plenty of space in the overhead lockers and I have found the cabin crew to be friendly and professional. I would choose this airline over their Irish rival whenever there is a choice. The only negative remark would be that it seems unnecessary to "board" a flight when the inbound aircraft has literally just landed when that involves herding the awaiting passengers into a corridor for an almost half-hour wait (in Gdansk.)

“You get what you pay for”

(Romania)

Trip Verified | Flight departed and arrived on time, boarding was efficient. Cabin crew did little speak to the passengers, they did the minimum only. Catering only at request because of the short flight time. Non-reclining seats, no charging facilities. You get what you pay for - low cost airline with simple service.
