Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 306 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the customer service and staff, finding them unhelpful, rude, and difficult to reach. The booking process and flight reliability also caused significant frustration, marked by unexpected changes and poor communication. Customers often encountered hidden or excessive charges for services like baggage and check-in, leading to higher overall costs than anticipated. Many also experienced significant disruptions due to flight delays, cancellations, or rebookings, often without adequate support or compensation. This lack of transparency regarding costs and flight availability left many feeling misled and out of pocket.

Buggy destroyed!

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I have followed the process through the airport as our buggy was badly damaged, and arrived back with me separated from the protective bag that it had been packed in. The repair shop deemed the buggy beyond reparable and advised me to claim through Wizz. Wizz have asked me numerous times for documents, which have been provided, sending me round in circles. They have now closed the claim stating i haven't provided all of the documents. They refuse to speak to me on the phone leaving me with a £300 buggy smashed to bits that I cant use

Hidden fees and charges- really bad experience

Hidden fees and charges-
They are a bunch of day light robbers. They advertise lower prices while booking but then you realise they charge fees afterwards that are mandatory - web check in is charged and if we decide not to do web check in then they charge like 40€ to check in at the airport. That was more than what we paid for the tickets!!!!
Then they had the audacity to charge 5€ as airport fees on top of that check in fees.

Thing is when you book they do not clearly state these charges!!! Avoid at all costs. Better to pay a bit more and fly easyJet

would give negative rating

I would give negative rating if option. The airline changed my flight date with no reason…. Completely changed my plan. Had I booked hotel in advance, I would not only have wasted my hotel cost in my departure city but have to pay the hotel for my destination city. What the heck! On the departure date, the flight kept on getting delayed to a later time. No other airline is showing delay at all . And you can’t find luggage cost online, no transparency. The moment you enter airport, even ask them questions at counter cost you $$$. I will avoid it in the future. One time lesson.

Low Quality Customer Service

A flight company’s quality becomes obvious when things go wrong.

I cancelled my flight ticket on the website, but an error occurred during the process. My ticket was cancelled anyway; however, I didn’t receive any cancellation confirmation, nor can I see my ticket information in the cancelled flights section.

I created a claim and sent a complaint via email, but it was pointless — I might as well have spoken to a wall.

Wizz Air, tell your customer service reps to actually read emails rather than reply with automated responses.

Terrible customer service experience from the start.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Wizz Air inexplicably cancelled my flight to Rome on 3 weeks notice costing my €360 in hotel fees and booked activities. When I claimed via the Wizz Air website, they sent me back a generic Dear Customer email citing conditions of carriage and as such they wouldn’t reimburse me. I’ve flown with Wizz Air 4 times in the last 12 months and every time there has been a schedule change - though thankfully none as serious as the above. It is clearly part of their business model to simply cancel or move flights if it no longer suits them, regardless of cost or impact on customers. Never flying with them again.

Extremely Unreliable and Unprofessional – Avoid Wizz Air!

We booked a trip to Egypt with Wizz Air months in advance for November 2025, arranging everything around the confirmed flight — annual leave, hotel, airport parking, and transfers. To our shock, Wizz Air not only changed the departure time but also the date, moving it a full day earlier!

The only options offered were a refund or to accept the new date. This caused major inconvenience — our employer couldn’t change our approved leave because of staffing needs. The hotel also charged extra for the earlier arrival and refused to adjust the original booking. We had no choice but to accept the amended flight and deal with the fallout.

Unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there. The in-flight service was extremely poor. Only one toilet was available for all passengers, creating long queues. Boarding and disembarking were painfully slow, and both departure and arrival were delayed, forcing us to rearrange our airport transfer at the last minute.

Overall, it was a terrible experience from start to finish. Don’t be tempted by Wizz Air’s cheap fares or flashy YouTube ads (where, conveniently, comments are disabled). If we could give zero stars, we would. Totally unreliable and unprofessional airline — avoid at all costs.

What an absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional company. This has been the worst customer experience I have ever had.

I had to cancel my flight back in August after Wizz Air changed the timetable twice, with no possibility to reschedule because all flights were fully booked.

I submitted a claim explaining that the credit card I originally used was no longer active, as the account had been deleted. I also called customer service to confirm that the refund would be sent to my current bank account. They assured me everything was in order. This was in August 2025.

By September 2025, I still hadn’t received anything. When I called again, the representative informed me that the refund was sent to my old, deleted card. Meaning the money was essentially lost. I explained the situation again, and she told me to submit a new claim so they could retrieve the funds and process the refund correctly.

Another month passed. No refund. Instead, I received an email stating that the case had been closed. Closed? With no refund? I called again, and this time I was told that the email was incorrect and that the claim was still open, with the finance department “finalising the details.” I double-checked that the correct bank account was on file.. it was.
I was told I should expect the refund within a week.
You can guess what happened next: still no money.

At the beginning of November, I called once more and emailed and was told the claim was “resolved” and that if I wanted the refund, I should file a European complaint because Wizz Air had already “provided a solution.”

What solution? Keeping my money? Miscommunicating internally? Giving customers contradictory and false information?

This is dishonest, irresponsible, and unacceptable. You have failed to provide any resolution and have effectively withheld my refund. Expect legal action.

I’ve never felt so let down by both an airline and a tour company. Wizz Air charged me €135 just because I forgot to check in online. I get that rules are rules, but that kind of charge is ridiculous — especially when our flight ended up leaving about 50 minutes late with no apology or compensation. It just feels unfair that passengers are punished for small mistakes, but when the airline causes delays, it’s brushed off.

Worst budget Airline EVER

Booked flights the same day whilst in Cyprus and Wizz Air knew that there was no seats available yet still took the booking and the money. The only way to get a refund was to check in with a zero on your boarding card let them take your bags, go through security and then be denied boarding at the gate. Then you would have to be escorted back through from airside, collect your bags and then be given a form to try and get a refund. Absolute rip off and I will never ever fly or book with them again. Use them at your own peril !!!!!

Zero stars

Zero stars. They’ve cancelled my flight and have absolutely no interest in booking me an alternative flight, other than their own flight which gives me less than 24 hours at my destination. Thanks to them, I’ll miss my chance to see family over Christmas.

My disappointment with the service I received during my recent experience with Wizz Air. Unfortunately, it was quite a disheartening experience from start to finish.

Firstly, the check-in process was chaotic and poorly managed. The ground staff were unhelpful and, frankly, quite rude. Despite having requested wheelchair assistance at both the departure and arrival airports, no wheelchair was provided. This caused significant inconvenience and stress.

The boarding process was also a shambles, lacking any sense of organization. To make matters worse, the baggage requirements seemed quite unfair and arbitrary.

Furthermore, my son, who has allergies and needs special attention, was asked to sit alone, which is completely unacceptable. Lastly, to add insult to injury, we were informed that the flight was overbooked. This is highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

I hope that Wizz Air will take these concerns seriously and work towards improving their services.

Wizz Air managed to mess up my booking

Wizz Air managed to mess up my booking, and their customer service made the situation even worse. Instead of taking responsibility or fixing their own error, they pushed me in circles with generic scripted replies and zero real help. Every attempt to get clarity was met with confusion, contradictory information, or agents who clearly had no idea how to resolve the issue.

What should have been a simple correction turned into a stressful back-and-forth where no one owned the problem. The lack of accountability and the inability to fix a mistake they caused is honestly shocking. When an airline mishandles your booking, the least they can do is provide clear, competent support.

Very disappointing experience, and I’ll think twice before booking with them again.

Customer support is a joke

Customer support has been extremely unhelpful. Back in July, there was a glitch with my booking that prevented me from checking in online, and I had to pay €150 at the airport as a result.

I submitted a claim with all the relevant screenshots of the error and booking details, but support kept replying that they “couldn’t find my booking” and repeatedly asked for the same confirmation — even though I had already provided it multiple times. Which just proved the point that ther was a glitch. After several resubmissions, they closed my case, stating that I failed to provide the documents.

It’s very disappointing and feels like the process is designed to avoid resolving genuine issues.

I recently experienced a flight delay that was eventually rescheduled. Although it was frustrating at first, I was very pleased with how your company handled the situation. After two hours, we were offered food and water, and the pilot kept us regularly updated. I was provided with a nearby hotel for the night, including dinner and breakfast, and received compensation under EU regulations quickly and without hassle. Overall, I’m really happy with how everything was resolved and look forward to flying with you again!

Never again – terrible service and greedy business model

I flew with Wizz Air a few days ago and it was honestly one of the worst airline experiences I’ve had. I accidentally left my jacket at the hotel and was freezing on the flight. I asked the crew for a small blanket and was told I’d have to pay for one. No compassion, no care — just profit first.

The airport experience was just as bad. Even though I checked in online, I still had to queue for ages because their system requires manual check-ins. One person was working the desk while an entire flight of passengers waited. The “priority” queue isn’t much better - you just pay more to stand in a slightly shorter line.

Their whole model is about charging extra for basic comfort or convenience. The only positive was that they got me from A to B safely, but the rest was abysmal. I’ll never fly with them again.

Thefts in white gloves!!!!

Thefts in white gloves!!!!! They have charged me twice for an one way ticket due to a glitch at their website which they admitted. It took them nearly 2 months to answer to my claim and rejected it sending a ready made message. I'm waiting another 2 months for their answer to my 2nd email. Absolutely shocking. I never fly with them again, even if they are the cheapest. Shame on you wizzair!!!!
