Wizz Air relaunches ‘All You Can Fly’ scheme « Euro Weekly News

Wizz Air has relaunched its ‘All You Can Fly’ membership scheme, allowing customers to book unlimited flights to nearly 200 destinations across 50 countries for an annual fee.

According to a report by Metro, the initial 10,000 €499 annual subscriptions sold out in 48 hours back in August 2024. Now, the price has been raised to €599.

Despite being a popular airline choice for frequent flyers, the Wizz Air ‘All You Can Fly’ scheme has sparked some criticism, especially among climate activists and some dissatisfied users.

Here’s a closer look at what the scheme offers and some important terms and conditions to note before purchasing.

What is the Wizz Air ‘All You Can Fly’ membership?

The Wizz Air ‘All You Can Fly’ membership is a 12-month subscription plan aimed at offering travellers flexibility and affordability. From €599 annually, members can book one-way flights on eligible international routes for a flat fee of €9.99 per flight segment. Key details include:

• Unlimited travel: Flights to Wizz Air’s 800 routes across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are included.
• Exclusions: Italian domestic flights and add-ons like checked baggage, seat selection, and carry-on luggage are not included in the membership fee. These can be added separately at an extra cost.
• Booking window: Flights must be booked between 72 hours and 3 hours before departure.
• Refund policy: Members can withdraw within 30 days of purchase if no flights have been booked. After this period, no refunds are available.
• No-shows: Missing two flights can result in immediate termination of membership without a refund.
• Renewal: The membership automatically renews after 12 months unless cancelled.

To register, customers must sign up for the membership on Wizz Air’s website and pay the €599 fee. Members can then book up to three flight segments per day, but, all bookings are subject to seat availability and specific restrictions. Flights booked through the membership cannot be changed. If plans change, members must purchase a new ticket.

Despite its appeal, the scheme has faced some criticism. Some users reported difficulty finding available flights, with one frustrated customer sharing on social media: “I’ve never managed to book a flight since buying the membership.” Wizz Air responded, stating that over 90 per cent of members found availability for their preferred flights, but availability is not guaranteed.

Environmental groups have also condemned the scheme. Jo Dardenne from Transport & Environment called it “unsustainable,” arguing that it encourages unnecessary flying, the most polluting form of transport.

For spontaneous travellers and digital nomads, the scheme offers a cost-effective way to explore multiple destinations. According to Wizz Air, the membership has seen high uptake, with destinations like Budapest, Abu Dhabi, London, Rome, and Bucharest among the most popular. One frequent traveller reportedly made 38 trips within two months of subscribing.

Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK, stated: “The membership not only helps travellers explore Wizz Air’s extensive network but also contributes to maximising the load factor of flights, reducing emission intensity.”
