Wizz Air has introduced an annual subscription service allowing travelers in Europe to take unlimited flights for 499 euros (approximately $550). This "all you can fly" pass enables passengers to book flights to any of Wizz Air's international destinations, including Athens, Madrid, and Paris, with bookings available up to three days before departure. The introductory price is valid until a specified date, after which it will increase to 599 euros. Each booking incurs an additional flat fee of 9.99 euros, and extra charges apply for luggage beyond a personal item. Initially, Wizz Air plans to offer 10,000 memberships, although availability will depend on various factors. This move follows similar subscription models by U.S. airlines, such as Frontier Airlines. Wizz Air's launch comes amid challenges, including a reported 44% drop in first-quarter operating profit and low customer satisfaction ratings. The airline is also exploring new routes from Europe to India as part of its expansion strategy.
