Cheap Flights on WizzAir.....is it a con ?

Every so often Wizz Air announce on their website a promotional offer of very cheap flights often for only £ 0.01 + taxes and fees etc.

The trouble is when you start looking for these cheap flights via their booking system they are nowhere to be seen.

Is this a genuine offer you think ?

nope, get it booked I went with skyeurope to Krakow return for £17 quid - it was a 1 pound for the flight the rest were tax

they're mainly flying mid week as a posed to weekends if you have the flxibility go for it

They have them offers also on via Doncaster Robin Hood Airport here in Doncaster (surprisely)as they serve Katowice airport at the present time 4 times a week and from July 2007 will serve Gdansk 4 times a week from Doncaster

It's genuine alright......Flew with Wizz air in late october 2006 Liverpool-Katowice return
paid £1 outward 1p homeward . Plus taxes £139. for three of us.

Thought there would be some kind of hitch but no, trouble free flight. If you can get it go for it.

Didn't have any trouble booking via the booking system, I should try again.

Plenty of Wizz Air penny flights from GLA Prestwick to Poland - the tax and stuff brings it up to around 40 pound return.
Centralwings can be quite cheap, starting around 9.99 one way before tax, flying out of Edinburgh.

with ryan air i normally pay less than a pound for my flights - plus taxes... penny flights are not unheard of

I am flying into Katowice late friday night flight and am staying in Krakow. I see you can book a bus thru Wizz. I wont book that part for another week.

Can anyone comment on the bus service? I see I wont get in until almost 0200.

I should book it as soon as you can, its a very popular shuttle.

Very reliable too. Drop off is at the bus station in Kralow, from there you can get a taxi at a reasonable rate to wherever you are staying.

Have a good trip.............

Be sure to use one of the flight checker sites to pick the right flights and to save endless searching on each airlines site!

I have even heard of an airline that pays you $9.99 for every flight you take

Thanks for the tip... will get it done soonest.

Frank thanks for the tips on low fare UK sites... I was using a US Kayak with little joy until a Polish friend put me on to Wizz....

Just sucks getting in late but guess can stay up when I get in and see the town late late at night...

Cheers

Just to follow up. I took a late wizzair flight on a friday night out of Luton, near London. Though the flight was delayed 6 hours due to plane problems I think the staff handled well. I was worried that the transfer shuttle would not be there when we got in at 530am to Katowice but it was and drove us safely to Krakow.

Return was from Warsaw the early 0600 flight. No problems nice flight. Though no need to get there any earlier than 430 as the security is not open until then. So expect a line if much after that.

On both flights the flight crews appeared professional and were helpful.
