About Wizz Air
Wizz Air is a low-cost airline founded in Hungary in 2003. It operated its first flight on 19 May 2004 from Katowice, Poland, and its operational headquarters is in Budapest. The group's holding company, Wizz Air Holdings Plc, is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and flights are operated by Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air Malta. Wizz Air is not a member of an airline alliance.
Instead of a single hub, Wizz Air bases aircraft at dozens of airports, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe, with bases in Italy, the United Kingdom and Cyprus as well. Budapest is its home base, and its largest bases include London Luton, Bucharest, Warsaw, Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa. From these bases it flies about 200 destinations in more than 50 countries, mostly point-to-point leisure and visiting-friends routes.
The fleet is made up entirely of Airbus A320-family aircraft, mostly the A321neo.
Schedules, aircraft assignments, terminals and fare rules can change. Confirm operational details directly with Wizz Air before travel.
Where Wizz Air flies

Central and Eastern Europe
The core of the network: Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, the Western Balkans and the Baltic states, linked to cities across Europe.
Western Europe and the UK
Major cities and secondary airports in the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the Benelux countries and the Nordic countries.
Leisure destinations
Seasonal flights to the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Greek islands, Cyprus, Malta, Croatia, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco.
Beyond Europe
Selected routes to the Caucasus, including Georgia and Armenia. Wizz Air does not fly to North or South America.
Wizz Air fleet
Wizz Air flies an all-Airbus fleet of 267 aircraft (June 2026). The aircraft shown at booking is not guaranteed until departure.
Airbus A321neo
Most of the fleet, flying routes across the whole network.
Airbus A321XLR
A longer-range A321neo variant that joined the fleet in 2025.
Airbus A320 and A321 (ceo)

Seats in the front rows and at the emergency exits with more legroom, sold as a seat option.
Practical information
BaggageCabin bags, checked bags, missing luggage
Wizz Air allowances depend on the fare, the bundle and the extras you add. Your allowance is shown in your booking.
Every passenger may bring one carry-on bag of up to 10 kg, no larger than 40 x 30 x 20 cm, that fits under the seat in front.
With WIZZ Priority or a bundle that includes it, you may also bring a trolley bag of up to 10 kg, no larger than 55 x 40 x 23 cm.
Checked bags are bought as extras or come with some bundles, in several weight options. Buy them when you book or in My Bookings before you go to the airport.
Sports equipment, musical instruments, mobility aids and other special items follow separate rules. Check the official Wizz Air baggage page before you fly.
Check-in and boardingSteps before departure
Online check-in on wizzair.com or the Wizz Air app opens 30 days before departure if you have bought a seat, or 24 hours before if you have not, and closes 3 hours before departure. Be at the boarding gate with your boarding pass and documents at least 30 minutes before departure.
Confirm the airport and terminal; Wizz Air often uses secondary airports.
Review passport, visa and ID requirements for your destination.
Check in online or in the app before check-in closes, and add any bags you need in advance.
Download the mobile boarding pass or print it; some airports require a printed pass.
Allow time for bag drop, security and passport control, and reach the gate before it closes.
Lounges
Wizz Air fares and bundles do not include lounge access. At many airports, independent lounges sell entry to any passenger; check the airport's own website for locations and opening hours.
Loyalty program
Wizz Air does not run a points-based frequent-flyer program. The WIZZ Discount Club is a paid annual membership that gives members discounted fares and baggage on eligible bookings, and Wizz Air also sells subscription and travel-credit products such as WIZZ MultiPass. Conditions change, so check the current terms before you buy.

Wizz Air airports
Wizz Air has no single hub. It stations aircraft and crews at bases across Europe and flies point to point, so most trips are a single flight and connections are not protected. Check the departure airport on your booking: in several cities Wizz Air uses a secondary airport.
