Wizz Air Unveils ‘All You Can Fly’ Annual Subscription for Frequent Travelers
Budget airline Wizz Air has introduced a groundbreaking “all you can fly” subscription, offering customers unlimited flights for an annual fee of 499 euros (£428; $549). This innovative deal allows passengers to book as many flights as they like across Wizz Air’s extensive network for one year, a concept that’s gaining traction in the airline industry but remains relatively novel.
While similar unlimited flight deals have been rolled out by Frontier Airlines in the US and AirAsia in Malaysia, Wizz Air’s offer is one of the first of its kind in Europe. The discounted price for the yearly pass will be available until 16 August, after which the cost will rise to 599 euros.
Starting in September, subscribers can take advantage of this deal by booking flights to destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia up to three days before departure. Each flight will require a nominal flat fee of 9.99 euros.
Wizz Air plans to sell 10,000 of these subscriptions, which will be distributed across the airports it operates from. However, the airline has issued a caution that seat availability for membership holders is not guaranteed and will be subject to various factors.
This initiative comes at a time when Wizz Air has faced criticism in the UK for its customer service and frequent flight delays. Despite these challenges, the airline is betting on the appeal of unlimited travel to attract frequent flyers and bolster its customer base.
