Wizz Air launches Wizz Class for a more comfortable experience

Wizz Air has introduced 'Wizz Class', an add-on that reserves a nearby middle seat and includes priority boarding, two cabin bags and a complimentary snack and non-alcoholic drink on selected routes including Budapest, Bucharest, Warsaw, London Luton, London Gatwick and Rome.

Wizz Air has launched a new "Wizz Class" add-on intended to give passengers extra space and some premium-type perks for an additional fee. The service followed a trial in December and is offered on selected flights to and from Budapest, Bucharest Otopeni, Warsaw, London Luton, London Gatwick and Rome Fiumicino. Wizz Class can be added to Smart and Plus bundles and is presented as a way to provide more room and faster boarding while the airline keeps its single-class operating model. Key details: - Wizz Class reserves one of the middle seats nearest the passenger (examples given were seats 1B or 1E) so the adjacent middle seat remains empty, and the first row provides extra legroom. - Included perks reported are priority boarding, allowance for two cabin bags (a 10 kg carry-on suitcase noted with the bundles), and a complimentary non-alcoholic drink and snack. - The product is sold as an add-on to existing Smart and Plus bookings and was rolled out after a December trial on selected routes. - Coverage is limited to selected flights on the listed routes; broader rollout or pricing for Wizz Class was not specified in the report and a media outlet said it had contacted Wizz Air for price details. Summary: Wizz Class is presented as a paid upgrade to give passengers more space and some priority services while Wizz Air maintains a single-class cabin and operational efficiency goals. The launch fits a broader pattern of low-cost carriers adding premium options, as reported, but further details on wider availability and pricing are undetermined at this time.
