Wizz Air Tips & Tricks

steve1500

Never flown with them before. Using them for a split flight Hurghada to Manchester via Milan (spoilt for choice Milan to Manchester)

The headline price looks good!! £50 each .  There will be 4 Adults & we can live with one checked suitcase, the rest small back packs under the seat

Is there anything we need to be aware of? So that we don't get nailed at the airport. 

Used to checking in 24 hours + in advance

TIA

You need to be aware of flying Wizz Air.  Possibly the worst reputation of any airline ever.  My advice...don't fly with them!

How long is the layover in Milan?

Can I book connecting flights?

Wizz Air does not operate connecting flights and cannot facilitate the transfer of passengers or their baggage to other flights (whether operated by Wizz Air or other carriers). For this reason, we cannot accept liability for any missed onward flights.

If you book several Wizz Air flights on the same day, they are not considered as connecting flights. You will need to pick up your baggage, exit the transit area, go to check-in, drop the baggage, proceed to security, immigration again for the next flight. Make sure to have valid travel documents for all the countries you arrive in/depart from.

Please allow sufficient time between the scheduled time of arrival of your incoming flight and the scheduled time of departure of your onward flight.

Assuming lands on time the layover will be 3 1/2 hours

Wizz Air don't fly Milan to Manchester, have BA Easyjet or Ryan Air ti choose from

The risk you take is with two separate bookings, if you miss the connection you will be on your own and have to pay for new tickets for the second part of the journey.  

At Milan will you have to collect your luggage pass through customs to enter the EU and then return through security for the second plane? If that's the procedure three and a half hours could soon pass by.

Just make sure your arriving and departing planes are from the same airport, it is a long way from Milan Linate to Malpensa!

Both flights Malpensa
