Tips to Avoid Fees
1. Purchase baggage allowance online during booking, as airport fees are significantly higher. 2. Buy WIZZ Priority to bring a trolley bag (55x40x23 cm) on board. 3. Weigh your bags before arriving to avoid the €13/kg overweight fee. 4. Consider WIZZ Go or WIZZ Plus bundles which include checked baggage.
Unique Nuances
Wizz Air has a unique 10kg checked bag option. They charge a €13 per kg overweight fee at the airport. Wheels must not add more than 5 cm to the size of the bag.
