How to avoid Wizz Air bag fees
Wizz Air doesn't publish status or credit card benefits that waive bag fees, so the cheapest option is adding bags while you book.
Ways to pay less
- • Add bags while you book: the price only goes up after that.
- • Weigh your bag at home: going over 20 kg can cost more than a second bag.
- • Travel carry-on only: check the Wizz Air carry-on size.
