r/WizzAir

I’m planning to fly with Wizz Air Priority, which allows you to bring a larger cabin bag up to 55 × 40 × 23 cm.

I have a backpack that measures approximately 58 × 26 × 26 cm when packed. So it’s slightly too long and slightly too deep, but smaller in the other dimension.

For anyone who has flown Wizz Air recently: do you think they would let me bring this backpack on board? How strict are they about the dimensions, and do they commonly ask passengers to put backpacks into the measuring tray at the gate?

I’d especially appreciate firsthand experiences with backpacks that were slightly over the official dimensions. Did anyone actually get stopped or have to measure their bag?

Hello, my flight to Dubai got cancelled (OTP to DXB in december if this info helps). I read that you can get compensated for a flight with a different airline as long as the flights are from the same airports and same dates as the ones wizz cancelled (and as long as you don’t request a refund).
Has anyone done that? How does it work and how long is the wait until they give you your compensation?

The cheapest flight i found for the same dates and airports is around twice the price of the wizz booking so would I still be able to get compensated?

Alternatively would just requesting a refund be better or should i try and go through with the rerouting and visit the UAE?

It looks like Wizz Air is now cancelling Abu Dhabi and Dubai flights for the winter season. I’ve just had my February booking cancelled as well.

For those affected, what are you planning to do? Are you taking the refund, trying to get rerouted, or changing to another Wizz destination?

Has anyone managed to get Wizz to reroute them instead of just offering a refund?

Question in the title, thanks!

The price appeared at first, but when I tried to look for other dates, it became like that already. Other dates also doesn't show the available flights. Is this just system error on their side? It's already been a day since I encountered this error.

Hola, ¿a alguien le pasó algo parecido con Wizz Air?

Nos cancelaron el vuelo Palermo–Barcelona del 27/09/2026 después de varias horas de retrasos. Wizz nos indicó que buscáramos por nuestra cuenta hotel, transporte y vuelos alternativos y que después nos lo reembolsarían.

Tuvimos que volver dos días después vía Roma porque la única alternativa que ofrecía Wizz era cuatro días más tarde.

Ahora Wizz solo quiere reembolsar una parte de los gastos y, además, rechazó la compensación de 250 € por pasajero alegando “restricciones de control de tráfico aéreo”, sin aportar pruebas concretas.

Ya hemos reclamado ante ENAC y estamos iniciando una reclamación con CEC-España.

¿Alguien consiguió que Wizz pagara en un caso similar? ¿Qué vía os funcionó mejor: CEC, ENAC, reclamador, juicio de escasa cuantía u otra?
