Wizz Air offers discount on all-you-can-fly membership
For a limited time, Wizz Air is offering travellers the chance to fly as much as they like for just £445 a year – but it’s not all smooth sailing, especially if you’re not a last-minute planner.
The budget airline has introduced an all-you-can-fly membership, usually priced at £534, but available for a discounted £445 from August 13th to 15th. The deal allows customers to book unlimited flights on Wizz Air routes for an entire year, starting from September 25th, 2024. However, each flight will still incur an additional £9 fee.
With over 800 routes across 200 cities in more than 50 countries, the offer seems like a dream come true for those with an insatiable travel bug. But there’s a significant catch – flights can only be booked within 72 hours of departure.
While £445 might sound like a steal, especially for jet-setters, the value depends on how often you fly. For instance, a return flight from Heathrow to Marrakesh booked within 72 hours costs £161.99, while a return from Luton to Prague costs £89.99. To break even, you’d need to book at least four or five trips a year.
For those eyeing pricier destinations, the deal might pay off sooner. A return flight from Luton to Tel Aviv, for example, could set you back around £500, meaning one trip could cover the cost of the membership. However, with flights to Tel Aviv not available until late October, you’d need to be quick off the mark to snag a seat.
It’s also worth noting that baggage and seat selection charges are not included. Baggage fees range from €11 (£9.40) to €120.50, depending on the size and timing of your booking, while seat selection could cost between €80 and €100.
With only 10,000 memberships available, Wizz Air’s commercial officer Silvia Mosquera suggests the offer is perfect for those who love spontaneous travel. But if your idea of a holiday involves careful planning, this might not be the deal for you.
Whether you’re an adventurous traveller or a digital nomad, this offer could open up a world of possibilities – just be prepared for the fine print.
