How Much Does It Cost to Cancel a Wizz Air Flight?

Cancelling a Wizz Air booking is not free unless you activated WIZZ Flex or the airline cancels your flight.

The fee amount depends on the cancellation deadline, and it will be displayed in your account before confirmation.

Typical Wizz Air cancellation fees:

• 15 days or more before departure: approximately €60 per person.
• Within 14 days before departure: Wizz charges a 'seat protection' fee, which is about €80-83 per passenger.

Fees may vary depending on the route and currency, and the exact amounts will be visible during the cancellation in your account.

It is very important to check the deadline by which you need to cancel.

The system will show the exact fee and possible amounts that may be refunded before you proceed.

How Much Time You Need to Cancel?

You can cancel a Wizz Air booking online no later than 3 hours before the scheduled departure in order to take advantage of the standard cancellation options.

If you are late, you will not be able to cancel the ticket through your account.

In case of a return flight with the same booking, you need to cancel before the first flight's departure.

Cancelling the outbound flight also cancels the return.

If you choose a refund to your WIZZ account (credits), this usually cancels all flights for all passengers in the same booking.

Once the cancellation is confirmed, it becomes final, and you cannot change it, so double-check the passengers, flights, and refund option before proceeding.

Will I Get My Money Back if I Cancel the Flight?

The refund amount depends on the cancellation deadline and the type of purchase.

• More than 14 days before departure: you can cancel and receive a fare with a deduction for Wizz's cancellation fee. If you used the WIZZ Discount Club, the cost of any club benefits will also be deducted from the refund.
• Within 14 days before departure: cancellation is possible, but Wizz charges a seat protection fee. Your refund will be the fare minus this fee and any refundable club services.

When a larger refund is possible:

• WIZZ Flex activated during booking: you can cancel online up to three hours before departure and receive a refund in WIZZ credits for your next booking.
• If the flight is canceled or significantly changed by Wizz: you can request a refund to your original payment card or choose a free rescheduling.

In the case of voluntary cancellations, the refund is usually credited to the original payer and excludes any non-refundable add-ons.

The exact amount and any applicable fees will be displayed in your account before you confirm the cancellation.

Online cancellation confirmation is final, so double-check the passengers and flights before taking this step.

Knowing the rules for flight cancellations will help you avoid misunderstandings and ensure proper management of your travels. Be attentive to deadlines and refund options to make the most of your opportunities when changing plans.
