Wizz Air ends hand luggage fee


Low cost carrier Wizz Air, which boasts three bases across the former Yugoslavia, has announced that passengers will no longer be charged an additional fee to bring a large item of hand baggage into the aircraft cabin on all Wizz Air flights, starting October 29. Passengers will be entitled to bring on board one item of hand luggage which meets the dimensions of 55x40x23cm. This bag is included in the ticket price. Customers travelling on or after October 29, 2017 that have already purchased hand luggage directly through Wizz Air channels will be reimbursed with 120% of the price paid, credited to their Wizz accounts. "We are working hard on ensuring that the Wizz experience is as smooth and hassle free as it can get, thus no more fees for hand luggage on all Wizz Air flights from 29 October will further underline our commitment to this mission", the airline's CEO, Jozsef Varadi, said.
