For five hundred euros, unlimited flights for a year. Wizz Air makes it happen and introduces an all-you-can-travel-pass. However, there are still a few catches.
According to Wizz Air, it is an innovation in aviation. The Hungarian budget airline claims to be the first in Europe with this special pass. The idea comes from the american budget airline Frontier. But, who wants to get a pass for that price, has to be quick. You have to register before Thursday evening 23:00 to pay only €500. People who are too late but still want a pass, can, after the first ten thousand, travel for a total of €599.
If you happen to become the lucky owner of a Wizz Air “membership”, you’re not done yet. Every flight you book must be taken within three days of booking, which means the passenger is always looking for last-minute trips. In addition, there is no baggage included, for which you can easily have to add up to €100. Of course, a seat reservation also costs extra, often between €80 and €100. As the icing on the cake, the world traveler in possession of an all-you-can-travel pass also pays a €9.99 surcharge for each flight.
The “membership” starts on September 25 and is valid for a period of one year.
Busy planes
Wizz Air was founded in 2003 and has exclusive about a fleet of A320 and A321 aircraft, both ceo and neo. The company flies to dozens of cities within and around the European continent, but its focus is on Eastern Europe. In the Netherlands, only Eindhoven Airport is on the list of destinations. However, the Hungarian low-cost carrier does not have a good name. First of all, its A321 neos are known to have the most seats on board: 239. In comparison, KLM will welcome 227 passengers on board its new aircraft and Etihad only allows 196 travelers on board the A321. Wizz has also been voted the worst airline in Europe several times. This is mainly due to the many delays.
