I just returned from Bucharest with WizzAir and I share your judgement. Very punctual, clean and new plane, friendly crew and some choices at the service plus decent prices ! What to expect more from a budget airline...

[@marktan8074]

Gosh! That Iceland plane paintwork is beautiful!! 👍👍

[@danielcohen6893]

I know I'm a year late (new subscriber, sorry haha) but I used to fly Wizz all the time when I lived in Bulgaria. Best budget airline. Hands down. I'm a big guy (100+ Kg) and never felt the pitch was too small. Plus if you live in Europe (especially in a place with Wizz flights) you can get their premium pass (or whatever it's called) 200 euro a year and you get all the things you got with your priority. If you fly 5 times round trip a year you've earned it back. I found myself buying a 16 euro flight and getting all the amenities of priority. It's really nice. I miss flying with them.

[@georgesavva1803]

I've flown Wizz Air more than a dozen times in the past 4 years and the experience has always been positive.

I flew Wizz Air last week for the first time LTN-KRK, and found it to be a pleasant experience. The flight attendants were very nice, there was plenty of leg room, and we departed Krakow on time and arrived in Luton twenty five minutes early. What's not to like!

[@cd_wikrz_kb2896]

same I flight Luton but Katowice insted it was good exprince the let me go inside the cockpit!

[@PauldeSwardt]

I'm a regular Wizz-Kid Flying out of Bratislava,Vienna , Prague or even Budapest. I'm confused that you sat at the back when your Priority Booking gave you a choice of Row 1 with Extra Leg room. Currently I have 14 Flights planned with with them mostly new routes including Faro,Marakesh,Sardinia and Abu Dhabi! For this reason I have both the annual Priority Pass and of course the Discount Club!

[@g.a.s.8788]

It is great to hear and read that something what is Hungarian is considered to be good and has positive reviews :)

[@politicallycorrect1102]

How can you not love an airplane with purple and pink livery? Unforgettable experience with WA: I was on an inaugural flight from Dubai to Kiev back in 2013 (i think), flew from Budapest back to Dubai ( the fare for that flight was way cheaper than the taxi rate i had from Maktoum airport to downtown dubai) and I had the smoothest landing of my life courtesy from a very experienced pilot (looks like he was about retire) greeting disembarking passengers, such a nice gesture! I miss Wizz Air love to fly with them again....

Great hospitality from the crew. I had a situation or two when there were issues with payments and they let it slide.

[@EVERYTHING333-3]

Pls fly to Budapest, trust me everyone says it’s just an average airport but there’s something special about LHBP!

[@Guerry-3]

Good afternoon from America, Josh. Thank-you for your most informative, yet succinct flight review of Wizz Air, which is not only my first view of the carrier, but also is my first of your flight reviews for me to enjoy. By the way, my name is “Guerry”, which is pronounced, “President and Dictator for Life” (I AM JUST JOKING!). But seriously, one of the reasons I enjoyed your video was because in just over 11 minutes, you provided me enough information to form a substantive, positive opinion about the airline. Unfortunately, being a tall man with some back problems, there is no way I could comfortably sit for long with such a short seat pitch. However, by no means does that overshadow the other facets that made me consider the airline to be a great option if someone prefers traveling on an economy carrier. When you showed the neighboring empty seats, it reminded me of a flight I took from Atlanta in the States to Frankfurt. After I boarded, a rather attractive lady was preparing to sit next to me. However, for such a long flight, I was hoping to have the extra seats rather than socialize with the pretty lady. So I asked her if she snored in her sleep. It was then that she opted to sit elsewhere, which gave me 2 extra seats to stretch and relax on the 8 hour flight. I think you made the right decision to purchase the full package for your flight, which included free baggage handling and other amenities. It is more important for me to have the extra flexibility and comfort on a flight than to save a few dollars. I also noticed @6:07 that you pulled your window shade down enough to prevent the glare from affecting your selfie shot. That was pretty clever. I was surprised to hear that Ryan Air has suspended serving alcohol during this Covid-19 period of restrictions. For I had always heard that alcohol tends to kill germs and be more sanitary than other beverages. Besides, after a few martinis, I tend to be much friendlier and make everyone I meet my best friend forever. Of course, those friendships do not last as long as my headache the next morning. The free coffee was a very nice gesture on the part of the flight crew. I cannot state from just your review whether the crew was having a good day or Wizz Air does a good job of training them. Nevertheless, that was a big plus for me. But the most impressive aspect of the airline was how well the cleanup crew serviced the lavatory between flights. On most flight reviews I have seen, lavatories tend to be like a petri dish, even after cleaning between flights. Even before Covid-19 affected lives, I have been a stickler for cleanliness. Again Josh, I thought you did a very good job with your flight review, and I am very thankful that you made it for us. Please keep up your good work, and I am looking forward to view your next video.

The guy throwing the cone at 3:10 really made my day :D

i’m going to travel on wizzair after 6 days! a few hours ago, i was scared it was going to crash but then i did my research and realized that no one has died on wizz air yet! and after watching lots of positive reviews, i was exited! i’ll update you after i’m done flying!

I flew my First Time with Wizz Air last year in August. From Berlin to Varna. I felt really good with the Crew that was there.

[@pomrobpomrob3938]

The coffee experience has probably impacted on Wizz Air in a very positive way.

[@davedebang-bang6168]

My best friend has flown wizz air so many times in the last 12 months flying from Luton to Bacău in Romania She loves the airline, she says they are friendly polite and really looked after her in every flight especially because she can’t speak Romanian, a lot of the crew got to know her as did the guy at immigration at Bacău airport lol

[@crimson_amxthyst1187]

I flew wizz air multiple times and the crew are brilliant and the pilots are so skilled I remember them landing with so much fog and without the plane even shaking

[@Rob.zoom92]

Reading your comment today, right after our flight got canceled due to foggy weather, does put a smile on my face. 😂

[@robjan9632]

Landing in the time of Fog is Autopilot :P, under certain visibility pilots are not allowed to land, they however monitor the autopilot.

[@arianagugora6811]

I fly Wizzair all the time, because I live in Budapest, and they have a wide network of routes. The experience has usually been positive. The flight crews have always been kind and polite, the planes and new and clean, and the pilots are often diligent about updates during the flight, which I appreciate. Sometimes they can be mercenary (Ryanair level), such as with very expensive seat selections (on non-priority tickets) and lower-than-average checked baggage weight allowance (20 kg), but my experiences with Wizz have been much more pleasant than a recent long-haul flight with Lufthansa. Without Wizz, my husband and I wouldn't have been able to see each other nearly as often while we were long-distance for a year, because other carriers were either inconvenient or too expensive. So, I like Wizzair and typically fly them over other airlines, even flag carriers, when possible.

[@Aviation763]

Amazing video josh! I love the way you share your honest opinion on each and every airline. There are very few Flight reporters that do such a variety of airlines, you do a great job of that! You always inspire me and I am hoping to do some flight reports soon and I will be sure to mention you in my videos! Also if you are reading this, then I saw you had Airlines Manager on your phone and I would really like to see a video on that of you can! :D keep up the great work!

[@mennoydema5222]

Nice to see your videos again, thanks for taking that step for us. Although I usually try and avoid budget airlines, Wizz Air doesn't seem too bad, very friendly cabin crew. I think the passengers should pay for the covid test when you're on a leisure trip because nobody forced you to fly. When you're on a business trip I think the employer should pay for it because those people are kinda forced to fly. But no, the government of a country didn't ask anyone to fly, so I don't think they should pay for it.

[@yellow01umrella]

Your employer doesn't actually pay for anything you just receive a smaller salary than otherwise.

Right on par with Spirit and their 28”. Their “Big Front Seat” is defiantly worth every penny. I believe it was only $35 more when I flew them from Tampa to New Orleans.

[@bryanheald6967]

In regards to the 28" pitch sounds exactly like Spirit Airlines here in the US. Flew them from Tampa to New Orleans. Was miserable since im 6'2". Flight home I paid the $35 extra for the "Big Front Seat" which is a business class sized seat just without the business class extras. I flew last week on an older American Airlines A321 that was a former US Airways bird from LAX to Charlotte and even with 31" of pitch was murder for me lmao. I need to remember to not be cheap and pay for the exit row seats next time lmao

[@DesiroDriver]

My last EasyJet flights had no seat recline. Personally I like that given the length of flights.

[@bryanheald6967]

You should check out and review the Lufthansa Frankfurt to Tampa route on which is on an A340-300 operated by Cityline. Which is an interesting subject I need to read more about but that particular a340 is in 100% star alliance livery and oddly enough other planes in this livery usually say the airline on it in smaller letters somewhere on the aircraft, due to some sort of labor dispute this star alliance livery A340-300 has not one mention of Lufthansa anywhere on the outside of the aircraft. Only way to tell of course is the German registration. Also the return options back to Europe would be interesting. Theres the Norwegian 787 which i know the tpa to Gatwick flight was already reviewed but their is also the British Airways 777-200 (usually always on one of BA's much much older 777-200's). The rather expensive Delta 767-300 Tampa to Amsterdam which I've priced in the past and at one point was $3,000 RT while a delta flight to AMS via ATL was half the price. But one flight I'D LOVE to see reviewed which btw is and always be at the top of my list because I've yet to find a good comprehensive up to my standards review on is the Tampa to Zurich A330-200 and sometimes the A330-300 flight on Edelweiss. I had a coworker take that flight a few years back and said out of (at that time 6 Tampa to Europe flights now down to 5 because Icelandair terminated their KEF route after a year or two) was the best shed taken, from Tampa that is. Even its its not the tampa to Zurich, would still love to see a Edelweiss review. But only of their A330 or A340 product. If I'm not mistaken I think they use the A340 on the Zurich to San Diego route, or at least used. Seen is while on an Alaska Airlines flight in 2018.

[@TravelWalesWithPaul]

I've yet to fly with Wizz Air, looking forward to trying out this budget airline for myself.

I'm glad you enjoyed Wizz Air, as for me it was the worst ever flight from Astana (Now Nur Sultan) to Budapest about 6hrs of toucher on an overnight flight where the lights were left on so they could keep selling some overpriced cup a soup etc to a group of oldies and they were singing etc keeping all other travels awake and annoyed.

The airline I travel the most on is wizzair, amazing planes. What I hate about Ryanair is that it looks cheap, but then you relise that there is baggage you have to pay for, and if you are traveling in a pair, the price says eg £80 but you pay £160 at checkout because £80 is per person, wizzair puts the price right in your eyes and never shows per peoson pices, only 3 prices you can choose that have all baggage options clear.

[@mikepowell2776]

Luton not Stansted. Stansted is almost civilised compared with Luton. I use both which means a long pre-flight drive from West Country each time. I usually get the right airport but it’s been a long time since such a trip was either necessary or possible.

[@sleepless51]

Wizz is slowly getting away from the budget prices. They usually start offering low prices on a new route and then start increasing. Their flights can be delayed for +3 hours. They often change the aircraft last minute (between a320 and a321) and you're issued with a new boarding pass with a totally different seat than the one you've paid and selected. During the peak season, the crew sometimes don't have time to clean the interior properly. So, you can end up to a seat with full of crackers on the floor. The crew is great though. Always working towards a solution and often solving it. I used to love WizzAir when they first started flying around here. It was a great competition against Ryanair (which I don't sympathize). But they've let me down many times by bad organisation from their end. I'd rather fly with Ryanair and expect these kind of things than flying with Wizz for plus 20-30% of the price of Ryanair.

[@elvirbibezic]

Plus Wizzair cancels flights more and more
