Wizz Air to expand ‘all you can fly’ scheme to thousands more passengers

Budget airline Wizz Air is set to expand its “all you can fly scheme” to thousands more members after its popularity with passengers. József Váradi, the CE of the budget airline, has said that the airline plans to open up its scheme to a further 15,000 members in the coming weeks after all its passes sold out within two days when it launched in August. However, the scheme has been met with some backlash from environmental campaigners over concerns that it could contribute to more pollution from its jets. The Wizz Air scheme costs E599 per year and allows customers to book a maximum of 72 hours in advance as a standby deal with a flat price of E9.99 for each flight, plus fees for any extras like baggage. Under the scheme, passengers can take up to three flights a day, allowing the airline to fill seats on flights that Wizz Air knows it will never completely fill. Váradi said there has been a “huge demand” for the scheme, which would suit those who travel often, regularly commute on certain routes, or have the flexibility to book last minute for cheap options. “We are working on an ‘all you can fly’ 2.0 and we should have some news within weeks,” Váradi said, according to The Telegraph. “We are creating a real gain for the consumer that also benefits our business. It’s a win-win.”<br/>
