“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.

"unpleasant and aggressive airline"

(Portugal)

Trip Verified |  I bought a maximum of 10 kilos of luggage which looks like a cabin trolley on Wizz Air's website. When I got to the boarding gate, I was told that I would have had to check the luggage at check-in, so my options where to pay 55 euros or leave the suitcase there. The luggage I bought was more expensive than Wizz Air priority, so the attitude of the employee was, to say the least, too intransigent. She treated me as if I had committed a serious offence. It's not the first time I've come across Wizz Air boarding staff who are very unfriendly, cold, distant and incapable of any kind of empathy. I had an unpleasant start to my holiday. The company's website is designed to confuse customers. The staff who work for the worst low-cost airline of Europe and proximities are sinister. The employee refused to show her name and moved her ID so it couldn't be seen. Another extremely unfriendly employee sent me to the back of the queue and said that they hadn't to show their names. She also moved the identification around my neck. If it weren't for the routes it serves in Eastern Europe, I would never set foot on this truly unfriendly, unpleasant and aggressive airline.

"a really bad experience"

(Poland)

Not Verified |   If you're thinking about booking a flight with Wizz Air, I'd say think again. I just had a really bad experience with their customer service. It was probably the worst I've ever seen. When I had a tricky situation with my travel, they weren't helpful at all and their communication was really confusing. In my case, Wizz Air's customer support was way below what you'd normally expect. So, if you want to avoid a lot of stress and hassle, especially when things go wrong, you might want to choose a different airline. From what I went through, it seems like saving a few bucks on tickets with them might end up costing you a lot more in terms of trouble and frustration.

"made us pay 170 AED per bag"

(United Arab Emirates)

Not Verified |   We booked a trip to Medinah with Wizz Air airlines at Abu Dhabi airport. They are a budget airline, we did get cheap tickets but trust me when I say this, they will try any other way to pull money out of you like what me and my relatives experienced. Nowhere while booking and checking in did we see clearly that we cannot take a trolley bag as a carry on. All that was mentioned was the size and the weight. They made us pay 170 AED per bag and that’s how they made up for being a budget airline. When we said that it wasn’t written anywhere CLEARLY, they had the audacity to say read terms and conditions. I have to mention here how rude the employees were to us. Also, In this day and age I’ll be honest with you all, who actually reads terms and conditions? All they could do was just mention along with the size and weight that we cannot carry a trolley bag but honestly I think they won’t because how else will they pull money? Really disappointed with this experience and I haven’t even boarded the flight yet. So anyone reading this particular review, please carry a bag pack with you to avoid paying 170 AED.

“they simply didn’t care”

(United Arab Emirates)

Not Verified | It’s so bad! First time we used Wizz, we were quite happy because for a low cost flight all went well. This time the boarding was always delayed more then 40minutes, in both ways AD-ROMANIA and ROMANIA-AD. Apart of that I’m flying pregnant, with a 3 year old with me and they do not even have used the priority properly, they simply didn’t care in both ways. And the worst thing is, in both ways we did check in at the counter and they didnt even care to mantain the 3 of us together, knowing a 3 year old will just probably cry at some point, and I believe they do this to charge you the extra 45€ per persone so you check in online. RIDICULOUS AIRLINE, nothing should make me fly away of my daugther and husband with her age. If you use the priotity properly you also could use it to prioritize kids with parents. This is a sin, haram to everything who touches family. God forbid you. I will do all in my control to not fly with you again.
