I think Wizzair is quite OK for short-haul flights in Europe. And their fares are really competitive in comparison to legacy carriers. But spending 5 hours aboard Wizzair doesn't sound very appealing. Actually, I am surprised to see there is such high demand for their flights to Saudi Arabia.

I fly with Wizz 6/7 times a year
You get what you pay for - I have no issue with the occasional delay, seats or limited legroom. For the price you can't complain, I'm always happy to fly with them

[EthanPricco]

6:47 I saw that exact A350 at London Heathrow about a year ago. I checked a photo I took of it and the registration matches up, so that’s kinda neat.

I flew from Budapest to Saudi Arabia for 15 euros on a WIZZ flight. Was awesome, I don't need the comfort of the first class to enjoy traveling.

I love the brutally honest videos due to the voice overs
It just feels more intimate than reading the captions 😊

Crazy that the A321neo can seat up to 244 seats comparing All Nippon Airways’ 787-8 is only 240 seats in a two class configuration.

“€80k, almost as much as what you have to pay when your bag is 2 kg too heavy”

I often travel to Saudi Arabia for work. Good to know those wizz air flight exist, because there are no cheap flight to KSA… except with Pegasus which is really horrific

[DonLuigi]

I did 5 hour Wizzair flight to Tenerife and it was quite comfortable - in isle seat, that is. Window and middle seats feel very tight. Staff is very friendly and onboard prices are quite good. I also take advantage of their Group Wizz club. For me, Wizz is the best low cost carrier in Europe.

[PaulWallbank]

Having just done a 5.5 hour red eye from Bali to Sydney in a domestically configured and very aged 737-800 on Qantas, I have to say the WizzAir flight didn't look too bad. Qantas are struggling to call themselves a premium airline at the moment.

[zaoshanghaozhongguo]

Looksl ike you're trying LCCs recently. Hopefully you can try Cebu Pacific's new A330NEO and their more jam-packed 460 (not sure)-seat layout to their long-haul routes like Dubai, Sydney, or Melbourne.

PS. Don't worry. You'll be using NAIA's Terminal 3, which is larger and at least more convenient than that cursed Terminal 2 lol.

[Kuricang]

That airplane model is an absolute steal especially when the price is EUR 12 only. Much cheaper than the airplane models that I've seen in French or German museums

[Bobrogers]

They provide what they advertise: a bare-bones flight at a reasonable cost. There are some options if you want to pay for them, but that doesn't include a more comfortable seat.

[coopa]

Wizz air can be just as good as Ryanair. I recently flew from Bucharest to Edinburgh where my ticket only cost me the equivalent of 14 euro. A four-hour flight for that price, as long as I got there I couldn't complain.

[calvintan]

Actually Wizzair is good. My flight from Vilnius to Reykjavik, it took me 4 hours and 20 mins, with extra leg room seat, including checked baggage, total cost for one way is Euro 89 which is acceptable price.

[FSXNOOB]

I love Wizz, i use it across EU most of the time. They always fly on time + cheap, my last trip to Croatia was 13 euro's, i would stand in the plane if needed for that price 🤣

[GenAvAviation]

I’ve flown Wizz Abu Dhabi a handful of times, it’s definitely not a necessarily pleasant experience with horrible padding and limited legroom, but the flight attendants are generally fine and the prices far outshine anyone else in the Middle East. It’s worth it for me, but I’ve only flown them up to three hours, so I would have no idea what they’re like medium haul. Great video as always 💙

[bratanbruder]

I flew from Rome to Dammam for 18 Euros and i had 3 Seats for me alone. The plane was half full and for that price it was totally worth it

[Ahmad-tjyc]

Just performed Umrah using Wizz air going and pegasus coming back, no issues.

[romanhauk]

I've been lucky enough to fly WizzAir a few times (short haul). However, people are spoiled by wifi and other unnecessary things. I'd rather endure the discomfort on a plane with pleasant flight attendants than spend money on a more expensive flight.

Thanks for the review.
