Central and Eastern European LCC Wizz Air has announced a new baggage policy, effective Nov. 1. The new policy aims to ease boarding delays and guarantees all passengers can bring one free carry-on bag into the aircraft cabin.
Airline statistics show that more than 10,000 flights per year are affected by baggage-related delays. In addition, over the past five years the average length of stay at a destination has been continuously declining; today every third Wizz Air traveler books trips for three days or less.
Because of shorter trips, Wizz Air said its passengers pack light and smart.
Starting Nov. 1, every passenger can bring one free carry-on bag (40x30x20 cm) on board, while passengers who purchase WIZZ Priority will be allowed to carry a trolley bag (55x40x23 cm) into the cabin as well.
Wizz Air customers can choose among more than 50 carry-on and checked baggage variations based on their individual preferences.
The following rules are constantly changing, so check before purchasing tickets.
