Wizz Air starts brand new service – exotic destinations reachable from Budapest

Wizz Air starts a brand new service enabling people to book flights between, for example, Budapest and Maldives and other exotic destinations. But there is a trick you should be aware of.

Brand new service with handicaps

According to okosutas.hu, gossip started spreading last year that Wizz Air was developing a brand new service type. Finally, the Hungarian low-cost airline launched its brand new Mix&Match service yesterday. However, it still has some teething problems.

Theoretically, the service enables you to mix flights. Thus, you can travel from Budapest to, for example, the Maldives with one ticket, one check-in process, etc. Of course, you have to transfer to Abu Dhabi. But still, such a scenario is much more comfortable than booking and checking in several times. Thus, the big question is what we gain by using the service. Why should I not book two different tickets instead?

Okosutas.hu says it would be imperative for a service like that to allow you to board your next flight, provided you miss it due to a delay of your previous one. But there is no information provided considering that element. Okosutas.hu believes if that existed, the airline would communicate it. If that is true, it is the passenger’s responsibility to reach their next flight.

The system is still under testing

It would help if you did not have to check in your luggage again on your next flight. But there is no such service, and Wizz Air made that clear.

Moreover, Mix&Match enables you to book only a very low number of transfer flights. For example, from Budapest, you can only book tickets to the Maldives. To find that, you must click or tap on the +1 sign in the app or the webpage. The same goes for Vienna.

Interestingly, you can only book return tickets in the system. Okosutas.hu said they are testing the new service, so they will update their article with the latest experiences soon.
