As many will know, I am not very comfortable with flying at all. I am scared to death, always feel claustrophobic on any plane, and further more I am really fussy on what airline I choose. Normally I take the cowards way out and use a boat to get to my destinations, but as you will know this is a lot more time consuming and not very convenient, so I just have to grit my teeth when it comes to flying if I want to go and visit the lovely parts of the world out there.
Normally I choose British airways or easy jet as I have found them really reliable in the past, but as I unwillingly fly quite often now, prices can be somewhat unaffordable at times.
A polish friend recommended I try Wizz Air. A new low cost air travel company. And seeing as I found them really good, I thought I would spread the word!
Wizz Air: About the Company……
Wizz Air started in 2004 and is already one of the largest CEE based low cost airlines and rapidly emerging in Central and
Eastern Europe. All aircrafts have the latest technology, and are very comfortable. Wizz Air quickly became registered in London, with services flying to Hungary and Poland at very low cost. Rapidly becoming wider known, the company is expanding rather fast, and flight destinations are increasing.
Wizz Air flight destinations from the UK…..
At the present time, Wizz Air flies to 17 European destinations on 32 routes. They also operate from two bases in the UK, London Luton, and Liverpool.
The destinations you can fly to using Wizz Air from London Luton are:
Bourgas (Bulgaria) Budapest (Hungary) Gdansk (Poland) Katowice(Poland) Juliana (Slovenia) Liverpool (UK)Poznan (Poland) Sofia (Bulgaria) Split (Croatia) Warsaw (Poland) Zagreb (Croatia)
The destinations you can fly to using Wizz Air from Liverpool are:
Gdansk Katowice London, Luton Warsaw
For other destinations you can depart from outside the UK check www.wizzair.com.
My own experience………..
I used this company on my flight from London Luton too Katowice airport in Poland. For me and my partner, the return flight cost us £16.00 each which included VAT, tax, in flight meal, and travel insurance. I booked online (www.wizzair.com), and found it very simple, and felt safe giving my details. It was fast and easy, and took 5 minutes only. Once I had given the details online, I simply printed out the last page (like it asks you to do), which had all my flight times, how much I paid, my reference number and insurance details. Upon our departure day, after finding the right check in desk at London Luton airport, I handed over the sheet with our passports and it was done. Simple and easy. The service was very friendly, which to me always makes the flight a lot better, and they all speak very good English, if they were not English already. The plane itself was an Airbus A320 young aircraft, which actually sounds small, but was quite big in fact. The leather seating was very comfortable, with plenty of space. The in flight meal was a cottage pie, which I personally found very nice. From checking in and getting on the aircraft, to receiving your luggage at my chosen destination was very prompt indeed, I have actually never known a service as fast. The flight was on time in both directions.
Any niggles?……….
Any niggles I would have of this company would be very small. I had a Visa card to book my flights, but I did notice they do not except Solo or switch unless you book a return flight in the UK, (not much of a niggle really). And the obvious one would be not many destinations from the UK yet other than Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Bulgaria, although you can reach many more destinations using this airline from different countries, for example Kato ice (Poland) too Rome. Other than this, their were none in my view.
How to book……..
Like many companies now, booking online is cheaper. If you visit www.wizzair.com, and click book online, they have a very simple format, and booking takes around five minutes.
If you want to book this in an alternative way, you can also phone them (telephone number given on website), or ask your travel agent about Wizz Air flights.
Overall…
I would recommend this company if you are looking for cheap flights to the destinations this company provides, they are very prompt in everything they do, and very friendly. The planes are comfortable with more room than most of its size. I would be definitely using this company again as I found them very helpful and reliable. Although still a young company, it would not surprise me if this airline expands even more at a rapid rate than it is doing already, and become one of the best European airlines. My advice if you are interested is to just check out the website and have a browse.
Thank you for reading. Dempsey

Scared of flying but quite happy to kill yourself smoking - tut tut! Anyway that's all behind you now. I'd never heard of Wizz Air before and the pic of one of their aeroplanes looks a bit barbie... less than reassuring! But I'm game to give anything reasonably priced a go!

Sounds good, always on the look out for good airlines. Nicely written and would have been an E if you had some information the seat pitch or legroom and some information on the entertainment (if there was any?) Hope you don't mind me mentioning this.
