WIZZ Air poor recruitment team

I was part of open recruitment day and I'm really disappointed from what happend, they didn't choosed people with experience and fluent English, they chosed people who are close to them, who they have connections or they are friends, I'm disappointed from your company, and on the end if you just hire top models then you need to put that on your page, if someone is good and worked for years for billion dollars worth companies and it's not good for you then fine

WIZZ Air I am complaining about your wizzair club discount.

Dear Sir or Madame:

I wish to express my dissatisfaction with your online service. I have bought your standartd memebership. Not only it did not give me a discount for the plane ticket that I bought at the same time with wizz club discount, but it does not want to give me the discount for another flight that I want to book. It indicates that I do not have one (memebership) and that I have to buy once again the wizz discout club memebership . I want to book the flyght this evening, but it does not give me the discount. Tommorow, the ticket could be at an another price. In case like that, I would pay more, beacause I cannot use the discount that I have paid for today. The whole idea of the this product that Wizzair is generously offering, is to make people pay less and as a result to stimulate them to become faithful clients. I as someone that plans on flying with Wizzair regulary, wanted to use this marvelous service, but I have only wasted my time and energy this far. The discount gives me more trouble than priviledges. Futremore, I have not even receive an email for confirming my membeship . However, I have received a confirmation that I have successfylly paid my plane ticket plus the membeship. I thought that maybe there will be instructions on what to do in a situation like this so I searched online. Ther was nothing, onle the regulalor instruction how to buy the wizz discount club. Onec ageain, I have read the instructions how to use my disconut membership. Once again, I have tried to buy the ticket via my personal account, but it did not work. It isn't even marked that I have a membership on my account. I find this situation unacceptable. Not only am I wasting money, but also my time.
For compensation, I would appreciate that the first plane ticket that I bought to have the discount that my wizzair club discount gives me (10 euro) and that the second flight that I wanted to book wil be at the same price at the time that I will finaly have my wizz discount club activated ( for which I have already been charged, which is showed at the photos that I have attached). And also that I have a free bagage 10 kg for both of my flights for the time and energy that I have invested in trying to use my membership.

Date of the incident: 10/03/19
My profile: acoount number: [protected]
Ticket that I have already bought at the same time with the discount: Sofia - Geneva 13/05/19 - Without Wizz discount club 97.99 lv., with the discount 77.99 lv.
Ticket that I want to buy after I have paid my discount, but does let me use it: Geneva - Sodfia 10/05/19: without the discount 69.99 CH, with the discount 57.99 CH

email: [protected]@abv.bg

Please let me know as soon as possible what action you propose to take.

Sincerely yours,

Vasilena Lachkovska

WIZZ Air flight cancellation and delay

Hello

I am a regular passenger of WizzAir company and had my flight on the 31.01.19 at 23.10 from London Luton to Chisinau and was heading towards the airport at 19.00 by bus. When I got to the airport, I was told that my flight was cancelled and I need to wait for the next one, which had to depart at 6.30 the following day. Understanding that I need to do something for the next 10 hours as I was in the airport, I asked about any accommodation that wizzair has prepared for us as I wasn't informed by phone in any manner, the airport staff member said that they are trying to organize a hotel room for us. We received only 7£ in vouchers for food to wait until the next flight, an amount that is hard to spend on enough food in order to resist for 10 hours...
While I was waiting all the night in the airport, no one called us in regards to the hotel room and nothing was solved. We basically stayed in the airport all the night. I was tired, hungry, worried, all covered in sweat and getting very frustrated at one point because of the situation.
When the time approached to make the check in for the flight on the following day of 01.02.19 for 6.30, at about 3.30 we tried to approach wizzair gate in order to start the process of check in, but we were told that is too early and we need to come back at 4.00. By that time, about 9 other gates were open for wizzair with All destination purpose, but none of them were dealing with our flight, so we basically had 1 person on the gate for the whole plane of 180 people to be done the check in, and after our multiple complaints to the supervisors of the airport, they told us it is not their responsibility to provide personnel for the gate to make the check in, it is actually wizzair. Nothing was organised for the process to go faster and we stood for 2 hours waiting to be checked in.
When the time came closer to 5.15 and we tried to find anyone to help us with our problem of having a lack of staff on the gate, there were people wondering around the gate next to the chair of the check in position, actual staff members that were able to help or change the situation and were constantly on the phone, not providing with any specific information of any progress. I have to mention that the superiors which came around us did not try to help at all and were too busy talking about their personal lifes and joking around instead of solving the issue. They were pretending to show that they are calling someone on the phone, but never started calling anybody actually. Finally in half an hour, at about 5.40, out of nowhere came another 3 extra staff to help although there were other 9 gates open for wizzair that were available to use, but did not allow us to...
After a crazy rush to get on the plane, when we finally got on board, the captain asked us to be patient and wait and understand that he has nothing to do with this issue of wizzair and try to be respectful to his staff crew, a thing which was not even under any question, but it was already a devastating state of feeling of being respected as a customer, we had to wait in the queue for 6 planes to get the plane ready to get in the air, as there was snow on the plane and it had to be removed and cleaned. I have to say that we stayed on the plane for about 2 hours until we finally managed to take off, and to be honest, this was unbearable already...
I want to complain on the lack of organisation and care that I experienced on that night for my flight, considering that I did not receive a message on my phone about the cancellation and would have actually stayed at home and not wasting my time in an uncomfortable airport, secondly, if the company was aware about the cancellation and such a time difference between the 2 flights, why didn't it take care of the hotel rooms in time, before we would have arrived in the airport and making sure we feel comfortable, thirdly, the number of personnel being available and not willing to make an effort to help us get on the plane faster and not wait in the queue for so long at the gate, fourth, if the plane is covered in snow and the flight has to be at 6.30, the cleaning of the snow should last not longer than 20 min and not keep us waiting for so long.
I would like to say that 7 £ voucher for food wasn't enough at all for 7 hours and 30 min between the flight, and hotels were never booked or contacted in regards to accommodation for the time being and the wait for the cleaning was way too long.

I want some compensation for this case, and I think it would be fair to have my money back for this ticket, considering the stress experienced and time lost.

My name is Dragos Dalta, I had to fly on 31.01.19 at 23:10, flight number WIT89R and flew instead on 01.02.19 at 6:30, flight number W63798A, not forgetting that it ended up to be 9.00. I would like to be contacted via email: [protected]@yahoo.com in regards to ways of solving this uncomfortable experience and getting a refund of the ticket.

Best regards

Dragos Dalta

WIZZ Air feeling of being robbed

On the midnight of Dec 15, I did a reservation for return flights from Tel-Aviv to Budapest for the period of Marc 12-16, 2019 that cost me 4369 ILS.

Less than 9 hours later Dec 16, I changed the flight's dates to March 19-23, 2019 as the original reservation was done with wrong dates (was done with one week earlier).

The flight change cost indicated a new price of 5420 ILS.

However, the Payment summary mail that I received indicates that I will be charged for both amounts a total of 9789 ILS.

I opened a Claim number 489C63E8 PNR KCBVYW on which the automatic reply informed that wizz air will reply in 90 days.

After several attempts to contact WIZZ Air call centers that failed/disconnected after standby of 20 minutes, the represent couldn't add more detail or support.

However, the representative told me that I can cancel the reservations, the cancelations will cost me 263ILS X 5 passengers X 2 In-Out tickets = 2630 ILS

So the option is either pay 9789ILS for the tickets or cancel for the amount of 2630ILS

This for a case of error/mistake in reservation schedule that was fixed within less than 9 hours, for flights that are scheduled 4 months in advance.

The overall feeling is like I'm being robbed, with no options to contact relevant staff to escalate.

Today Dec 28, Wizz-air replied to my request to cancel my reservation, however now the fee is 4259 ILS.

Can you tell me how you will classify such behavior for a service that was never delivered? service that is scheduled for 4 months in advance?

Any way to claim it back from wizz-air?

WIZZ Air change of flight schedule

Dear Sir/Madame,

In June 2018 I booked a seat with you for the flight Larnaca to Vienna for the period 14-19/12/2018. The booking procedure was successful and I immediately proceeded with an early booking of my accommodation in Vienna due to prices rising. Last Friday (14/11/2018) I received an email from the customer service saying that there is a change in the flight schedule and that the departure will take place on the 16/12/2018! See below:

''Dear Antigone,
We regret to inform you that there has been a schedule change that affects your
flight(s) under confirmation code NEZ2XQ. Flight number: 2828 ...

I was really upset with the message and reading your instructions I immediately proceeded with the cancellation of my booking expecting the full refund of my pay including taxes. Unfortunately I could not act in any other way (change my personal holiday schedule or extend further) as this vacation was planned way ahead for those specific dates I was approved of and allowed to be absent from office. Unfortunately I can not change my pre planned and already approved vacation time/period. In other words your company's change in schedule has ruined my trip and Xmas holidays!

In addition, with the change in the schedule, all my plans during my stay in Vienna are automatically affected. First of all the hotel accommodation that is already fully paid and for which I will not be fully compensated, the purchase of the tickets for the X'mas events (opera and theater during the weekend) and many more...

What happend ruined both my views about Wizz Air and my psychology as I am honestly very very upset! I was looking forward to that Pre - Xmas trip as this would be my first X' mas stay in Vienna after years... A trip that was well planned in advance. Since June 2018.

In light of the above I would appreciate your company to return my full pay for the ticket plus to compensate the psycological disstress, the serious inconvenience I am now suffering due to the cancelling of my holiday plans for that specific period, plus for the financial losses for all my plans during my stay in Vienna.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

WIZZ Air extra charges (unnecessary)

Arrival at Liverpool airport, check in desk. You have not printed off your boarding card, this will cost you £32.00, please walk to the end of the airport and pay. However, the lady I spoke to saw that I had paid for on line booking and spoke to the desk girl and all was cleared up. After returning to the check in desk, it took 2 seconds to print a boarding card, 2 [censored]in seconds and Wizzair would have charged me £32.00!. Return flight Budapest check in, do you have a boarding card?, no but I have all the relevant paperwork (as I did in Liverpool) OK, please go to the information desk. On arrival at the information desk, boarding card please, I am sorry, but all the information I printed off does not appear to have included my boarding card, OK, 45 Euro's please, "pardon me", 45 Euro's please, what the [censored] for?. You do not have a boarding pass and it will cost you 45 Euro's!. I was absolutely disgusted and very [censored]in angry, Wizzair have the bloody cheek to demand such extortionate sums of money from their service users, I feel is bloody disgusting, just because I failed to print off some paperwork, that was on the [censored]in system anyhow. If this is a joke, then I am afraid I did not see the funny side, on both occasions, Liverpool and Budapest, a boarding card was produced with very little effort or time and as such I fail to see why the bloody hell there was any fuss, let alone charge. I will not fly Wizzair ever again, I would rather walk to my destination in future. Whilst writing this complaint, I would ask for a refund of the 454 Euro's I was robbed of at the Budapest information desk. Robbing [censored].

WIZZ Air seek any opportunity to overcharge

I'm angry and disgusted with the way Wizzair treated us during our flight from Budapest to Nice on October 20th, 2018. We arrived to the Budapest airport with one checked bag that I had paid online together with the ticket reservation. Upon arriving at the checkin counter, they asked for our boarding passes which I didn't have since I planned to do it at the counter with the baggage drop-off. They directed me to another counter which turned out to be a counter for extra fees. The guy there mentioned that I was supposed to do the online checkin beforehand so I had to pay 194€ extra fee to the 4 of us). I asked where on my ticket (which I printed out) mentioned the requirement to check in online beforehand. He said that it wasn't mentioned there and I was supposed to "remember" it the moment I purchased the tickets online. I didn't receive any sort of reminder from Wizzair regarding this policy either during the moment of purchase or any other time prior to my departure, even though one day before, they had sent me an email. However, this email only warned me to go the the Budapest airport 2 hours 15 minutes prior to my flight, due to congestion at the terminal B2. No single information about the online checkin was mentioned. On their website, the fee mentioned is only 30€ per person per flight!

So I had to pay the exorbitant fee of 194€ for the 4 of us to get our boarding passes. But the troubles didn't stop there. Once we approached the boarding gate, one woman stopped me and asked me to put my hand luggage inside the measurement box. It turned out to be a tad bigger and didn't fit inside. She then asked me to pay a fee of 75€ extra. I also had a small backpack for my laptop and camera which she said was too much. I said that I would give it to my mom since there were 4 of us. She then stopped us all and forced us to squeeze all our stuffs (even food, clutches for money/passports/boarding passes) inside 4 hand luggages only (including the one I had already paid 75€ for). 3 out of these 4 luggages were to be put to the side of the cargo separate from us since the plane was full. Against my will, I had to put my laptop inside one of the bags to be sent separately, and I had to wear my camera outside. We then pointed to her all the passengers passing the boarding gate freely with 2 pieces of luggage (one suitcase and one big bag) with zero problem, she ignored and played deaf. Of course, because she already got her 75€! On their website, the fee mentioned is only 25€ !

I'm disgusted with how Wizzair treats their customers. Or maybe since we are Asians, we are discriminated? Then Wizzair is cheap, dirty, and discriminatory. They wear a mask of a low cost airline to fraud customers into paying excessive fees that make no sense. In total, 269€ was thrown out of the window for us, buying us nothing but anger and disgust. I will boycott this company for the rest of my life and I urge you to do so if you want to save yourself the troubles.

Don't waste your money and time. Dear Wizzair, goodbye forever.

WIZZ Air damaged luggage

Madam, Sir,

my complaint is related to damaged cabin luggage. Our flight with Wizzair W6 1442 from Rome to Warsaw on 23 October 2018 was delayed and even though I had only 1 cabin luggage within the parameters, I was asked to have it put in the bottom of the plane and was not allowed to take it with me on board. When I arrived late in Warsaw and the cabin luggage was delivered (planned arrival was at 18:00 and actual arrival at 18:30) and my luggage arrived at 18:45, I was already late for an official dinner but noticed that my luggage was not only scratched and dirty but also the lock was damaged and the zipper was damaged with missing parts for locking it. In a rush I took a couple of pictures. It's not only damaged now but it is also not possible to lock the luggage properly anymore due to missing parts. The brand of the luggage is expensive with rare particles (Samsonite). I ask to be compensate for this damage. I am travelling constantly and will not have time to have this repaired soon enough and there was no reason to have my small expensive luggage taken from me to check in in the first place. This damage was also clearly done by human force/manually as then the zipper was forcefully closed the other way without it's second counterpart. I have photos with place and time record available from the Warsaw Chopin airport as well and attaching them to this complaint. Thank you in advance for seriously considering my complaint as I never had this problem before and would appreciate some compensation considering the unpleasant necessity to have this repaired somewhere internationally with unforeseen travel, repair and handling costs.

WIZZ Air very poor quality of service! high prices when they claim they are a low-cost airline!

Hello
How is it possible to pay 550 EUR per 2 persons (booking with 3 months in advance a flight from Bucharest to Eindhoven) when Wizz Air is saying is a low-cost airline? And if I do right now a search on (a local company) Tarom website I see that for the date 7-SEP I can pay 150 EUR (for one person - which means 300 EUR for 2 persons) - and this is a flight which will leave on 7 days and NOT IN 3 MONTHS! Also: why I have to pay for my seat? When I buy the ticket from that so called low-cost airline it says if I want to stay near to someone (because I travel with my wife is more than normal to stay near to each other) I have to pay extra for that - why? When other companies didn't ask for money if I travel with someone and it let's me stay near this person - how is it normal by the way! Food / drink in the airplane: why do I have to pay for food and drink from your airline when other airlines are giving you one croissant and a drink (water or coffee) for free? With all these reasons that I have described here - how can Wizz Air still say that is a low-cost airline? And I don't have to add the poor quality (it makes me sick because they are so indifferent) of the staff!
When we left Romania, we have with us: one baggage, 2-hand baggage and one small backpack - this is how we left from Romania. When we returned (we left Netherlands from Eindhoven) we had exactly the same baggage, and one of the Wizz Air flight crew asked us to remove the "extra" baggage: meaning that small backpack (which we had when we left our country)

WIZZ Air double charge

We booked 2 air tickets from wizzair's website, for Prague to London in Aug 2018. We did not print out the tickets so the check in counter lady told us to go to Menzies Aviation to pay 125 czk. However when we were at the Menzies Aviation, the counter man gave us the [censored]tiest attitude, telling us how he need to leave as it is 15 mins to 10pm, and he need to leaves BEFORE he actually finish work.

Anw, he charged us 135 czk each, we paid as we just wanted to get on the flight (we wee 5 hours early to the flight btw)

Anw, a few hours later, i realized that he gave us invoice for 135 czk each and also a 790 czk and a 750 czk booking fee. We were worried that it would be a double charge, so decided to check our credit card bill after our trip.

and yes, it was INDEED a double charge from wizzair!
THEY TRICKED US INTO BUYING TWO TICKETS AGAIN.

Now we are trying to call them but apparently they charge even more money (through your phone bill) to call them through their call center. WHAT A RIP OFF COMPANY.

AVOID WIZZ AIR AT ALL COST.

WIZZ Air breach of safety rules /half demonstration

wizz air did not complete the safety demonstration on board flight w6 2209 Budapest to Luton friday 20th july 18.30 hours
The cabin crew performed the demo for showing the exits and using the face mask but NO demonstration for the inflatable life jacket...it was completely omitted and when i challenged the cabin crew they responded very rudely. Eventually after three challenges they saId the captain Christian Rekovich didnt think there was enough water covered to warrant the full demo. We were crossing the english channel. They then tried to suggest i was drinking and drunk as i had a duty free wine bottle poking out my bag. Three of them surrounded me telling me to swap seats with a fellow passenger and said they would not take off unless i did as they said. We both refused and they eventually took off but i am furious and felt nothing but fear on the flight

WIZZ Air flight w64459 from london luton airport to cyprus larnaca airport on july 1st 2018

On July 1st my wife, Diana Nicolaides, and I, Andreas Nicolaides, PNR ZDCLUG, were flying from London Luton airport to Cyprus Larnaca airport with wizz air flight number w64459 scheduled to depart at 12:00 noon, at the check-in desk the person who served us explained that as wizz priority passengers we were allowed to check-in the 2 x 32kg baggages as well as the 10kg hand luggage which we were very happy to do so.
The flight was delayed for more than 3 hours without any explanation which resulted in us forking out extra money we did not cater for to buy meals and refreshments. When it was announced to proceed to the gate for boarding we found out that in order to reach the so called priority queue at the bottom of a 3-flight staircase we had to squeeze between passengers standing or sitting on the stairs and having to endure verbal abuse. The PRIORITY QUEUE was a mess, there was no wizz air personnel keeping order, the seating area was empty because it was at the wrong side of the gate, it was very hot and stuffy as there was no air conditioning and it was a very hot day.
On arrival at Cyprus Larnaca airport we discovered that one of our 32kg baggages was not on the carousel and after we checked with the baggage inquiry desk and got nowhere we reported the missing baggage to the Airport LGS Handling Desk who opened a file reference LCAW610807/01JUL18/1906GMT, it was confirmed that one of the baggage identification tags was missing and hence concluded that the baggage was not tagged to final destination at Luton check-in desk. Finally the baggage was delivered by wizz air and arrived at LGS Handling Office badly damaged on 06/07/18.

WIZZ Air they charge air passenger duty for children, illegally, on flights departing from uk

They are charging Air Passenger Duty for children when this is clearly illegal as this charge doesn't apply to children under 12 under the UK legislation. However, when booking tickets for children the full price is charged leaving the passenger to claim a refund for APD. They respond to the claim saying that they will get back to you soon, but they don't. I am assuming that this is done on purpose so passengers give up claiming the refund.

The ticket doesn't give you a breakdown of charges, so unless you are familiar with this regulation, you will not know that you have been charged and you would not claim a refund.
I just wonder how many passenger are not aware of this and Wizzair are taking advantage and holding their money. I am making an official complaint to Civil Aviation Authority to making aware of this and force Wizzair to stop this practice and refund all passengers that have been charged APD for children.

Hi Martha.
I am thinking of doing the same. I have read an article on moneysavingexpert website that you need to contact wizzair to claim it back. I just did and could not believe the responses I was getting. The woman I spoke to made me really angry. She was ignorant and kept telling they have different policies and children pay the same price as adults! I will be making a complaint also. Do you have any update on yours?

WIZZ Air wizz air

We booked a package holiday with last minute and our flights were with Wizz Air. Before this I had never flown with Wizz Air and had doubts as I started reading reviews on it prior to my holiday.
Our flight going was delayed by 2 hours. Which was very annoying as it was a 5.55am flight from Luton and we were up from 1.30am only to be stuck at the airport for many hours. We finally departed at 8.30am or so. The staff are very rude and nobody even apologised for the delay or what the reason was. I have been on other flights where there has been a delays but we were kept informed at all times.
On the flight coming home now our flight from Bratislava was at 21.40pm and again the flight was delayed for 2 hours. Again no one told us what was going on and each time a passenger asked they got a different answer. First they said it was due to bad weather as it was raining but at the same time there were other flights coming and departing and then they said it was because they had no buses to take us to the plane. All lies I think. We were kept waiting until 23.45pm which is when we were told to board the plane which was a five minute walk so buses would have even been needed. Again no apologies from the airline or keeping us informed properly.
This airline should be closed down.
To think this was my first experience but definitely the last one I can assure you.
Wizz Air also claims if there flight is delayed for more then 2 hours they would give you complimentary snacks on the plane. Again that was never given.
This airline is the WORST I have ever traveled on. NEVER AGAIN
