Ok so i'm off to Riga for a week in April

 

To fly from B'ham it's £180 with a stop in Frankfurt, the stops and flight times aren't great so looking elsewhere

 

 

I can go direct from Luton return for £42 which is great but then they want £46 to check in a suitcase !!

Just gone direct onto WIZZ's website and if booked when I book my tickets online with

them its £19.50 for 32 kgs suitcase !!

 

Think Opodo are taking the P

Skyscanner always gives me the best results.

 

However, once i know the score, times etc from Skyscanner i usually always book direct with the airline.

I fly with wizz quite often and they are cheap, but you always get stung on the little extras. Even the hand baggage deal costs, what you can take on as hand baggage free is not much more than a kids satchel, in fact my four year olds Elsa bag was technically too large, if you want to take a standard size cabin bag on board they charge. If you are likely to fly a few times in a year with them then pay for a years membership of the wizzclub, it paid for itself on the first booking for us. Good cut price airline though if you don't expect all the frills, steer clear of the car hire deals though, they are never what they seem.

 

We flew back into Luton last week and the pilot came in too fast and a few metres above the tarmac bottled it and pulled back up, bum twitch moment, most of the plane applauded when he got us down the second time, that was after a 30 minute fly over the home counties.

I've flown with WIZZ from Luton before just don't recall there being such a discrepancy

in the price from doing it on Opodo to WIZZ's website

 

Budget flight doesn't bother me as its only 2 1/2 hours or so to Riga

I hate wizz air no reserved seating, so boarding is horrible.

YGWYPF with these sorts of things, TBH.

You can pay extra to get on first and to have front row seat with extra legroom if you wish

 

For my out flight Basic class is £24.49 to upgrade to Plus class its £62.62

 

Plus fare includes:

 

Flight ticket

Seat selection, including front row and extra legroom seats

 

WIZZ Flex for flexibility on flight changes

 

Free airport check-in or online check-in

 

WIZZ Priority Boarding

1 additional small personal item onboard

1 large cabin bag included

 

1 checked-in bag up to 32 kg

[Dnk]

Just been on the WIZZ site and if I go Monday - Monday with 23 kg checked in bag I can fly

 

Basic is £62

 

Plus is £116

 

Very cheap compared to BHX at £205 and with a stop at Frankfurt

They introduced reserved seating sometime ago, but I agree prior to that it was a complete free for all. But as for getting what you pay for, not sure I 100% agree with that anymore when it comes to short haul stuff, unless you are happy to pay over and above standard. But lets face it, if you book a flight for less than 100 quid per leg you are not going to get much chucked in. I flew out from Luton to Timisoara last week with my wife and daughter, hired a car for a week, paid for collision waver and it came to 270 all in for the three of us return. It would have cost us more to buy 3 open return day tickets from Wellingborough to London, so I wasn't expecting Emirates style service.
