Wizz Air extends new service to all routes

Good news for travellers: Wizz Air is soon to make its Wizz Class service – the airline’s so-called business class offering – available on every flight, allowing passengers to opt in. The January trial period delivered encouraging results, with demand far exceeding expectations.

In January, the Hungarian low-cost carrier enabled business-class travel for passengers from six base airports: Budapest, Bucharest, Warsaw, Rome, and London’s Luton and Gatwick. The airline had announced the launch of Wizz Class last October, Airportal wrote.

Wizz Class to be available on every Wizz Air route

The service acts as an add-on to Smart or Plus fare bundles, which already include priority boarding and a 10kg cabin bag.

What does Wizz Class offer?

• A seat in the front row of the aircraft;
• Extra legroom for passengers;
• A guaranteed middle seat;
• Complimentary alcohol and snacks on board.

Chief executive József Váradi noted at a press conference last month that the offering targets a niche segment, with just four such seats available per flight.

The Hungarian budget airline’s single-cabin model will otherwise remain unchanged; Wizz Class is effectively an enhanced service package rather than a distinct onboard class.
