As a low-cost airline, Wizz Air prices most extras separately: the lowest fares usually include only a small personal item, while cabin bags, checked bags and seat selection are added for a fee. Allowances and prices depend on the fare and route, and adding bags when you book is almost always cheaper than at the airport. See our extra baggage service for help.
Wizz Air cancellation policy
What happens when you cancel a Wizz Air ticket depends on the fare rules attached to it, which you see before booking. Tickets bought for travel to or from the US generally allow a free cancellation within 24 hours of booking when the flight is at least seven days away; after that, flexible fares may be refundable and others may convert to credit or be non-refundable. If Wizz Air cancels your flight, you are entitled to a refund. Our cancellation desk reviews your ticket free of charge.
Wizz Air date change policy
Whether a Wizz Air ticket can be changed, and for what fee, depends on its fare rules; you will usually pay any fare difference. We compare the options before you commit. More on our date change service.
