Wizz Air introduces new baggage policy – Onboard bag guaranteed for all from November 1

Wizz Air, the fastest growing airline in Europe and the leading low cost carrier in Central and Eastern Europe, today announces its new and transparent baggage policy which is aimed at easing boarding for passengers and which guarantees all passengers to bring one free carry-on bag into the aircraft cabin on all Wizz Air flights, from November 1, 2018.

The press release says that the airline’s historic figures show that more than 10,000 flights per year are affected by baggage-related delays. Figures also show that in the past five years the average length of stay at a destination has been continuously declining and by now every third Wizz Air traveler books trips for three days or less. As a consequence of shorter trips, WIZZ passengers pack light and smart. Every third passenger purchased a checked in bag while only every seventh passenger opted for the Trolley bag, which could be brought on board.

As of November 1, every passenger is entitled to bring one free carry-on bag (40x30x20 cm) on board, while those passengers who purchase WIZZ Priority will be allowed to carry a trolley bag (55x40x23 cm) into the cabin as well.

Based on customer feedback and the changing travel patterns, Wizz Air has introduced a 10 kg checked in bag to facilitate comfortable travel experience with prices starting from as low as EUR 7.

– We want to offer our customers the lowest possible fares as well as a transparent view into ticket pricing. By unbundling products and services, Wizz Air democratizes the way of traveling and allows for a pay-per-need offer – Johan Eidhagen, Chief Marketing Officer of Wizz Air, said.

Bookings without WIZZ Priority made before October 10 for the travel period after November 1, 2018, will be upgraded with a free 10 kg checked in bag, while bookings with a checked in baggage will be upgraded with WIZZ Priority.
