Advantages: Cheap Friendly Service

Disadvantages: not many destinations from the UK

Most people that know me know that I am not very comfortable with flying at all. I am scared to death, always feel claustrophobic on any plane, and further more I am really fussy on what airline I choose.

Normally I take the cowards way out and use a boat to get to my destinations, but as you may gather this is a lot more time consuming and not very convenient, so I just have to grit my teeth when it comes to flying if I want to go and visit the lovely parts of the world out there.

Normally I choose British airways or easy jet as I have found them really reliable in the past...and I mean in the PAST, but as I unwillingly fly quite often now, prices can be somewhat unaffordable at times.

A polish friend recommended I try Wizz Air. A new low cost air travel company. And seeing as I found them really good, I thought I would spread the word!

Wizz Air: About the Company......

Wizz Air started in 2004 and is already one of the largest CEE based low cost airlines and rapidly emerging in Central and Eastern Europe.
All aircrafts have the latest technology, and are very comfortable.
Wizz Air quickly became registered in London, with services flying to Hungary and Poland at very low cost. Rapidly becoming wider known, the company is expanding rather fast, and flight destinations are increasing.
Wizz Air flight destinations from the UK.....

At the present time, Wizz Air flies to 42 European destinations on 70 routes.
They also operate from these bases in the UK, London Luton, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Coventry, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Doncaster-Sheffield, Durham Tees Valley and Glasgow.

The Wizz Airline mainly fly to Poland, Bulgaria an Croatia.
However they are constantly expanding, so its always worth checking their websites for new destinations.

On their website, www.wizzair.com. you will be presented with a map of their destinations that they fly to and from, which is very easy to naivigate. London Luton offers more destinations to fly too than most of the other airports they operate from.
My own experience...........

I used this company on my flight from London Luton too Katowice airport in Poland. For me and my partner, the return flight cost us £16.00 each which included VAT, tax, in flight meal, and travel insurance.
I booked online (www.wizzair.com), and found it very simple, and felt safe giving my details. It was fast and easy, and took 5 minutes only.
Once I had given the details online, I simply printed out the last page (like it asks you to do), which had all my flight times, how much I paid, my reference number and insurance details.
Upon our departure day, after finding the right check in desk at London Luton airport, I handed over the sheet with our passports and it was done. Simple and easy.

The service was very friendly, which to me always makes the flight a lot better, and they all speak very good English, if they were not English already.

The plane itself was an Airbus A320 young aircraft, which actually sounds small, but was quite big in fact.
The leather seating was very comfortable, with plenty of space. The in flight meal was a cottage pie, which I personally found very nice.
From checking in and getting on the aircraft, to receiving your luggage at my chosen destination was very prompt indeed, I have actually never known a service as fast. The flight was on time in both directions.

Any niggles?..........
Any niggles I would have of this company would be very small. I had a Visa card to book my flights, but I did notice they do not except Solo or switch unless you book a return flight in the UK, (not much of a niggle really).
And the obvious one would be not many destinations from the UK yet other than Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Bulgaria, although you can reach many more destinations using this airline from different countries, for example Kato ice (Poland) too Rome.
Other than this, their were none in my view.

Also it may be useful for you to know that they allow passengers to check in a maximum of 20 Kilograms of luggae without incurring excess baggage fee.
How to book........
Like many companies now, booking online is cheaper. If you visit www.wizzair.com, and click book online, they have a very simple format, and booking takes around five minutes.

If you want to book this in an alternative way, you can also phone them (telephone number given on website), or ask your travel agent about Wizz Air flights.

Overall...

I would recommend this company if you are looking for cheap flights to the destinations this company provides, they are very prompt in everything they do, and very friendly. The planes are comfortable with more room than most of its size.
I would be definitely using this company again as I found them very helpful and reliable.
Although still a young company, it would not surprise me if this airline expands even more at a rapid rate than it is doing already, and become one of the best European airlines.
My advice if you are interested is to just check out the website and have a browse.

Thank you for reading. Dempsey

Summary: Ok if you are flying to Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia
