What is it?
Wizz Air’s All You Can Fly Pass is a new annual subscription costing £534. In theory, it gives you unlimited Wizz Air flights for a year, with each flight costing just £8.90 when you book.
Sounds tempting, especially with rising airfares — but, naturally, there are catches. You can only book flights within 72 hours of departure, and that £8.90 doesn’t cover baggage, seats, or anything extra. It’s strictly base fare only, and even that’s subject to seat availability for pass holders.

Our take upfront: Only good value if you fly Wizz monthly — everyone else should skip it
This pass is niche. If you’re an expat, digital nomad, or commuter regularly bouncing between Wizz cities 12+ times a year, you could save a bit — and enjoy price certainty.
But for most UK travelers? It’s a trap. Wizz is banking on you not flying enough, missing the tiny booking windows, or racking up fees. Miss a few months or need bags? You’re down money. You’d be better off just cherry-picking their sales.
Who might actually benefit?
✅ Remote workers or expats commuting regularly between two Wizz cities — think London to Budapest, Bucharest, or Gdansk
✅ Digital nomads who don’t care where they’re flying next and can jump on whatever’s available
✅ Ultra-flexible travelers with no need to plan ahead — happy to book flights 2-3 days before departure
For this small group, the maths works if they use it properly:
Example breakeven:
- £534 upfront + (£8.90 × 12 flights) = £640.80 total annual cost
- That’s £53 per flight, not including luggage or extras
- If you’re paying £70–£100+ per Wizz flight normally, you come out ahead
Where this falls apart — fast — for most people
1. 72-hour booking window
You can’t lock in trips months out — you’re booking last minute, every time. That kills it for family holidays, weekends away with mates, or anything needing advance plans.
2. Wizz controls availability
Your pass doesn’t guarantee a seat. If Wizz decides a flight’s too full, you’re not flying. That’s risky if you’re counting on it for essential trips.
3. Extras will eat your savings
The pass gets you a seat — that’s it. Add a cabin bag? £25. Checked luggage? More. Want to sit next to your partner? Pay up. It’s easy to see £50–£70 added per trip if you’re not careful.
4. Non-refundable, no flexibility
Change of plans? Tough. You’ve paid £534 upfront. No refund, no pause. If you get injured, change jobs, or just stop traveling — you lose.
What other travelers are saying
- FlyerTalk users: It only works if you’re basically a Wizz commuter
- Reddit users: A few people happy, plenty of warnings about hidden costs
- BBC’s view: Think of it like a gym membership — sounds good, but most won’t use it enough to justify the price
So… is it actually good value?
For most people? No.
Wizz’s cheap flights mean most of us are better off jumping on their £9.99 flash sales or picking off-peak dates. You stay flexible and avoid being trapped by their terms.
For a small group — people flying Wizz monthly or more — it could work, but it’s not a game-changer. You’d save a bit, but only if you fly a lot and travel light.
Final verdict: Smart for hardcore users, a money sink for everyone else
✅ Worth considering if:
- You’re flying Wizz 12+ times a year
- You’re flexible enough to book 3 days before flying
- You travel with just a backpack
❌ Avoid it if:
- You want to plan trips
- You care about bags, seats, or comfort
- You’re guessing you’ll “probably use it enough” — you won’t
Bottom line:
It’s a clever product designed to sound cheap but hard to use fully. Wizz isn’t running this because they expect to lose money. They’re counting on most people under-using it or drowning in extra fees.
Run the numbers honestly — if you’re not hitting at least one flight a month, leave this one alone.
