Wizz Air launches “All You Can Fly” pass: Unlimited flights with some fine print

Wizz Air has introduced a new “All You Can Fly” pass, offering travellers the opportunity to book unlimited flights for just EUR 9.99 per segment after purchasing a yearly membership. The pass, priced at EUR 599 annually, allows members to select from last-minute flights across Wizz Air’s entire network, but there are a few conditions that potential buyers should be aware of.

For EUR 599 per year, members can book flights 72 hours before departure, choosing from the available routes at the time, AIRportal.hu reports. However, the availability of these discounted seats depends on how full the flight is, meaning not all routes will have seats eligible for the special rate.

While the low fare is appealing, it’s important to note that the base fare only includes a small cabin bag (maximum size 40 x 30 x 20 cm). Additional services such as checked baggage, seat selection, or priority boarding are not included and can be added for an extra fee. If members need to change their plans, tickets booked under the pass cannot be modified; instead, they would need to purchase a new ticket at the standard rate.

Moreover, if a member fails to show up for three flights, Wizz Air reserves the right to cancel the membership without a refund, along with imposing a penalty fee.

Although the program offers significant savings for frequent flyers, it’s designed with certain limitations. Members can only book flights within a 72-hour window before departure, which means that trips can’t be planned far in advance. Additionally, the availability of return flights may pose a challenge, especially if return seats sell out within that 72-hour booking window. This could force members to purchase a return flight at the regular price, potentially diminishing the overall savings, Telex writes.

Who could benefit from the pass?

For those who are flexible with their travel dates and destinations, the pass offers a unique opportunity to explore up to 50 countries and 200 cities within Wizz Air’s network. The airline is currently offering a limited-time pre-sale, selling 10,000 passes for a reduced price of EUR 499 between 13 and 15 August.

According to Silvia Mosquera, Wizz Air’s Chief Commercial Officer, this new membership aims to provide travellers with more spontaneous and affordable travel options across Europe. The pass is particularly appealing to adventurous travellers and digital nomads who can adapt their travel plans to take advantage of last-minute deals.

Starting 25 September 2024, members can begin booking flights under this program. With 800 routes to choose from, most Hungarian travellers are expected to select flights departing from Budapest or Debrecen, where around 60 destinations are available.

Despite its limitations, the WIZZ All You Can Fly pass is the first of its kind in Europe, offering a potentially cost-effective solution for frequent and flexible travellers.
